Newbie hello.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and to fibromyalgia. I have just been diagnosed with the condition after years of pain and suffering. For a long time I have been on a quest to find out what's wrong with me and suspected I may have lupus as my mum has it and some of my symptoms have been the same as hers. I have seen a very good consultant who tells me it is infact fibromyalgia. Although I still need to have some repeat blood test to see if there is anything else going on as my inflammatory markers were very high.
I now have a new quest to find information about fibromyalgia as the leaflet I was given just doesn't cut it.
I am blessed to have two young boys 3 and 1 years at the moment, but I have a constant guilt that I have to say no quite often to doing things they want to do like going to the park ect.

I'm glad I have found a forum where hopefully I can get more information and some support from others in the same situation. Xxx
