Fibromyalgia Support Group

I was born with defects in my spine, which led to the chronic pain ( as a child I had episodic back pain but in my family, we were not allowed to get sick -long story) so I never mentioned it to anyone.

I have found the chronic pain easier to deal with in many ways than the fibromyalgia.

I have been disabled, living on Social Security Disability since 1996. I am single and live with a cat.

I could not have imagined that my life would take all the unexpected turns it has. It's been such a strange journey and one too often taken alone.

I still don't know where it will lead.

I find my family and friends, despite trying, cannot

really understand what fibromyalgia is like.

So I am grateful to find a place where there are people who have taken similar journeys as me.

It saddens me greatly to hear that both your family as well as your friends fail to understand your fibromyalgia- know that others here have a similar story. Am very blessed as all my friends understand and most of my family do too, plus am v lucky as have a very supportive hubby- yet think am possibly the exception to the rule. Yet, at least you are here as you will receive much understanding plus support. So lean on us all please.

Pleased to hear that you have a pet cat- animals unconditional love is so important!!

Please take most excellent care of You! Hope that you will have a most blessed weekend.

Warmest wishes, welcoming gentle hugs, Love Clarita the bat girl from Britain xooxooxoox
