Hello everyone, I got diagnosed over 2 years ago and was in a complete state due to all the medication I was on, now living a new life without medication but still really struggle at times. I've never done this before as in some way I feel ashamed I was such a strong young woman/mother/partner. I suppose I'm still very bitter with my diagnosis, sorry be nice to talk to people who know the life. Kind thoughts and strength to all.
It's only pain!!!
Wish it was only pain but it’s not there is the insomnia the Fibromyalgia fog were brain just dose not work and most people have stomach troubles to and not forgetting the depression. O it’s just hell 😈😈🤦🏼♂️🌹but we have each other on here and lovely bunch of people
Hi Sara, I know exactly how you feel as I too was previously a fit and healthy woman/mum/wife/worker until being struck by fibro. It does take a while to come to terms with and you almost have to go through a grieving process before you get to the point of accepting the loss of your previous self. If I'm honest I can't say I'm definitely there yet myself but I have come along way since first being diagnosed. Finding this forum was a great help to me along the way and I am sure you will also find it a great source of information and support. Our friendly members are always happy to share their experiences however I would like to mention that you are likely to receive more replies if you lock your post. You don't have to but many of our members are not too keen on responding to unlocked ones as the whole thread can be read by internet search engines. Instructions on how to do this can be found on the link below but if you get stuck please don’t hesitate to ask for help.

Hi I know it’s so hard it seems so unfair. I struggle daily and I never know how much to tell family and friends around me, they always ask how are you today and wat are you suppose to say hold on I’ll give you a list !!!!
I don’t want to be that person that’s always dark moody but I seem to be if left with too much time on my own I can get very dark and my thoughts are full of wat I use to be. But you know wat I have to push forward this is my life I’m approaching late forties and this is the only life im going to have so I’ll try and find energy and be the best I can be. Good luck keep going x
New to the group, looking for alternatives maybe to assist me.
I think I'm starting to accept this illness.
Is there anyone who lives near me,who understands what I am going through?
Insomnia inspired me to write my first poem
Amitriptyline and fatigue
