    Impact of Fibromyalgia on my life.

    Hey everyone, New to the forum and apparently, this is the place to post about how Fibromyalgia impacts my daily life. I was diagnosed about 20 years ago with fibromyalgia and it's pretty wild to type that and see it in print. It's a diagnosis that I don't share with too many people, as they...
