Hi,

My name is Sherry, and I was just given the diagnosis of having FMS on January 3rd of this year. It was kind of a relief as I thought I was just going insane. I don't know what I expect or to expect from an online support group, but I sometimes need a way to vent my feelings in a setting where others might understand things a little more. I have 2 children who are about to turn 3 years old, and I don't want to miss out on anything. I also want to be able to exercise more and lose weight, but I am finding that difficult due to fatigue; and I am a stress/comfort eater. And I have had a lot of stress and needed a lot of comfort this past year, so I have put on quite a bit of weight. I guess that's all for now.

Sherry

Welcome to the group. You'll find many people here with things in common with you. I for one am the stress/eater. I find my stress relief at Dairy Queen, and other ice cream Parlors since my face hurts from TMJ and trigeminal neuralgia. I think you will be happy here.

Welcome to the fibro family. You'll soon come to have a group of friends and of course all of the group is your friend. But you will probably soon have anothr newbie join and sometimes newbies start a friendship because they are both new. But everyone on this site would be glad to help you at anytime.

Again, welcome.

Kathy
