About me...

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 5 years ago by my GI doctor. My primary doctor at that time and several since told me that fibro was a catch all diagnosis and that my symptoms were all in my head. I've been bouncing from specialist to specialist since then undergoing endless testing and watching my life slip through my fingers. Today I was seen at a very well known hospital where I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia yet again but this time I was offered a treatment plan. I am struggling on so many levels and could use support from others that know what's it's like to live with this chronic pain.
 
fibro girl,
Welcome to the forum. Well you have landed in the right spot. We all know what it is like to live with fibro, and you of course know as well the things that we all have gone through in trying to get a diagnosis. There is a section in the forum where you can vent about the things that are going wrong and we will stand by you through the hard days ahead.

We all have faced the rude doctors and family members, and others that don't believe in this condition, but it is our diagnosis until a better reason comes along. Now is the time to learn new coping skills so you can help manage your condition.

Check out the sections on pain and fatigue, and the top section that has many topics about fibro. Be sure to read some of the older posts as well and greet new members, thus making new friends and learning first and formost that your not alone.

We are here if you need us and knowing that can make all the difference in the world. :)
