Fibromyalgia Support Group

I have been looking for an on-line support group when I finally found this one. It is so good to know that I am not alone!! I was dx over 9 months ago and have had little response to medications. I was even on Lyrica but the side effects were so bad and it didn't help anyways. My husband really does a lot of research for me. After awhile reading becomes a real chore. The letters start to all run together and nothing makes sense. I am on testosterone as an experimental treatment. It has helped, but not much. I was also dx with hypothyroidism in Feb and am now on meds for it as well. I don't know if that is good or bad. I am more alert, but now I hurt more

Hi Debi!It's nice to have you with us!This is a great place for support!It took a long time for me to find something to help relieve my pain...I've had Fibro for over 20 yrs....and I still have a hard time accepting that I cannot do what I once could.

I'm 38 yrs old,and I feel like I'm 70 most of the time!But we have a great group of people here to support you and share experiences with us,along with information too!!

Feel free to pm me anytime you need to talk,I'm here for you.Looking forward to getting to know you!

WELCOME TO THE FIBRO FAMILY! We have a group of people like no other. They will cry with you, laugh with you and just plan listen when you need to rant. So, just start posting away. It will get busier Monday. Lots of people kind of take the week end off. Again, welcome, and pm any time you want to. We are here for you kathy

Welcome! This is a great board. I,like Joy, have had fibro for over 20 years! I am 52 but feel like I am 152 most of the time. There does seem to be a little bit more recognition of fibro since I was diagnosed so maybe someday we will be acknowledged.

Welcome to the group Debi. I was diagnosed with hypothryoid in Jan 06 and fibro Aug 07.

Boy can I relate to the reading. I used to be an avid reader and now I read the same paragraph over and over as it just doesn't make sense to me. Nowadays I pretty much can't stay awake to read. Heck I can't even look at the picures and keep them straight.

Welcome Debi!!!!

I have just been diagnosed with fibro last week...I found this place the next day and I go on here every chance I get.. There is so much support here!!!!

Welcome Debi, I was Dx with fibro last week too, although I have been feeling symtoms for a long time. This is a good place to find a lot of imformation and just talk to people that are going through the samethings you are.

Welcome to the group Debi--I look forward to getting to know you. this is a great group of people--too bad that we had to meet due to our health difficulties! Welcome and post away!
