Just got a diagnosis!

[FeelingsFlight]

Hi, I'm Kai. I only realised I had fibromyalgia maybe 8 or so months ago. I saw two doctors before my current doctor, who gave me my diagnosis in May! I was sooo relieved. I'm young, and most of my life so far has been struggling with being disabled. On the one hand, it's rough that I'm losing out on so much so early. On the other, I'm glad I didn't prepare for a life I can't life, that I have a good support system of people who understand me, and I'm still ready to handle change.

I currently only take klonopin for anxiety, and medical marijuana and various herbs for fibro and other things. Yeah, I have a lot of 'other things', which made it even harder to get a diagnosis.

In the meantime I've learned a lot about fibro. I'm glad to be here and hope I can help some people out as well as learn some new things!
