Hi to y'all. New to this forum...not to the Fibro. It's been a long time since I've been in a support group. Most of some of those groups are long gone. I woke up up this morning with incredible chills and a pain level so high I thought I'm gonna be in bed all day but when the meds started...

Hello! (I posted part of this in the New Members area also) I am honestly not sure what I am doing on here, hoping for support and to become closer to people who are suffering from the same things I am. This is sort of long, like a novel, so, I am sorry for that! My name is Melissa, I am a 27...
