Hello, I was just told I have Fibromyalgia, I was going to the doctors for two years and now I finally have a answer. I am scared because I dont know what to expect,does this progress as time goes on, I believe I am still in denial. I tell myself I will not let this get me.

It is not progressive. However some have otherthings with it that are progressive. you can get flare ups that canlast long or be gone in a day or so. There are so many weird things that can happen. I want to welcome you and know we understand and will help best we can.

Kimmy, I am glad that you found us. There is a lot of great information here and lots of support. From my understanding fm is not progressive,but can be effected by stress, not eating healthy, lack of sleep & lack of exercise. Basically, doing what you can to take the best care of your body as possible is the best thing for you. I have had fm for 16yrs and still have flares but I am better equipped to deal with them.

I wish you the best of luck on this journey that you are facing. Please don't hesitate to use us to ask ?'s, vent, be silly, whatever you need. We are here for you. If we don't know the answer, we might be able to point you in the right direction. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Hey kimmy!!! It's not progressive some days you just feel worse than others. Buy a heating pad and a comfortable couch and those will help on the bad days and on good days I don't care what they say do as much as you can and have fun because the bad days are going to come no matter what you do anyway. Im not being negative Im just letting you know what I experience LOL Hugs to ya!!!
