Hello and good morning.

[pinkgecko]

I'm new to the site. Have been suffering for about 12 years now. Still don't find it easy to accept or talk about. Thought would give this site a go...

Hi i'm also new to the site, find it hard sometimes just to type a reply or question..I'm finding it difficult to come to terms with my diagnosis as i dont know how to explain it to others that don't have it.. but looking round this site i've realised that others are having similiar experiences to myself... so although its not good to hear that others are suffering it is comforting to know i'm not alone... all the best to everyone on here

Hi and welcome

you dont have to write anything on this sight but if you have questions feel free .

but if all you want to do is read thats also good xx

It is hard to come to terms with any condition ..but FMS is not life threatening and if you get the balance right you can live a normal life ...

Welcome pinkgecko and tiger74 i'm still fairly new, it is hard to get the old head round it all, but I am learning that trying to keep a positive attitude does help. when it come to explaining to other, why not go on the main sight and get some info about fibro keep it with you so you can show others when needed, there is also some great explaination on the nhs direct sight just pop in fibromyalgia and it will come up, this is the one I used and I carry it everywhere with me, so if Someone ask's I can give them 5 mins to read it for themselves it stops alot of aqwradness I find. Also please do pluck up the courage to ask questions or advice no matter how trivile you think it might sound its not every thing that comes up on here is important. hope you enjoy becoming part of the fibro family smiles and hugs xx
