I'm new here. I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for 7 years. I am also hyper mobile which can make pain management challenging at times.

Hello
Hi and a warm welcome to the forums. You can find general information on fibromyalgia at our website fmauk.org and our patient information booklets at fmauk.org/publications
Hi Redkite 1Welcome to the site. This place is a wonderful site, as you can ask questions, find good and helpful info and sound off when you really feel like crap. Many different people on here so you can get a variety of things to help. As they say one size does not fit all.
I was very lucky in that I was referred to a Fibro course by rheumatology which I found really helpful in managing pain, sleep and depression. I was able to finish work and that helped me tremendously. Also pacing, no matter what, if you feel you can't do then don't. I also took painkillers and antidepressants did gentle exercises and rested when needed.
I feel I can cope with it now but like I said I feel lucky in that I could finish work and go at my own pace.
Hope this sites works for you.
Take care gentle hugs
Lily xx
