Hi I'm new to the forum. I've had fibro a long time and also lupus. I'm alone and lonely, especially when I'm in a flair. Hoping to make some friends here.

Hi Lauri, I am new to the forum as well. I think its really great there is an online community. I still feel alone because many people in my life don't understand my diagnosis or think I'm crying wolf and it can be very lonely. I get very irritable especially when my pain levels are high and that isolates myself even more. I hope this community can make you feel a little less alone. Although I am new to this community, I am here for anyone who would like to talk.

Thank you. It's very isolating and I don't feel people understand. Having someone to talk to who understands is imperative it feels. I'm here for you also.
