Welcome to the group. Why don't you start out by tellng us a little about yourself. How long have you had fibro? When you stumble, make it part of the Dance

Hi Bosco08, Welcome to the group. Like Mcbeth says just start out by telling us all about yourself, or if it helps look at other people new to group posts. {{{gentle hugs}}} "When things go wrong and they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but dont you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
Its when things go wrong when you mustn't quit" |

Welcome to the family  We are glad we asked! This is the beginning, it's where we get to know you, and you get to know us. You can do some searching through the threads, type in specific keywords in the search box, like Naddya said that's a great way to get started... Check out the front page - there you'll see all the latest discussions in the group... Read through & jump in wherever you want. As far as what to share, you got a good start on it... If you're comfortable, you could share what meds you're taking, what kind of doc is treating your fibro, are you happy with your treatment & doctor, what are your chief issues right now... ? You'll love it here... Everyone is full of support, knowledge, encouragement, we all help one another... Make yourself comfy! Jess |
