 Hi all! Just joined this evening and was requested to come here and introduce myself.

I'm 54 years old, was dx'd with FMS 20 years ago. My husband and I have been married 10 years and he is my biggest supporter and fan. He's truly wonderful.

I have 2 daughters and one of them has my 3 grandchildren. A granddaughter, 12, and 3 year old twin boys.

My husband has his own local business and he helps me with my online retail business. Some days I can go like a house on fire, other days he has to help. Online selling is wonderful for those of us that can't do the old 9-5 any more.

I'm so glad to have found this place. It's time for me to find out what new ideas/treatments are around now to help this horrible foot pain!

Jo

 Welcome to this site. I am 53 and have had fibro for over 20 yrs.. I also have two daughters. No grandchildren. Its great you have an online job.

Foot pain is part of the fibro. I know some who have it. Look in the general support and you will see one that says foot pain. This is a great place to ask questions, vent, share, or be silly. Feel free to pm me anytime. Welcome again.Im glad you joined.

I have dystonia, neuropathy, gerd, arthritis, and fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel and other ailments. I enjoy embroidery,music, and reading my Bible and Christian books. I love to bake. I try to be very supportive and positive.

 welcome indianajo, I'm 40, days away from 41, have three children and I have had fibro for 24 years. I have the foot pain, sometimes worse than others but mornings are always bad. I hate those first few steps each morning when I get out of bed. Hope to get to know you better.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel -- but it's a train about to run over you.
