Hello Tessie, I'm new here too this week and so far it is amazing to see how many others also have chronic pain and what a wide spectrum of lives. Kinda feels like meeting others from "our planet", lol. Not so alienating to be part of a crowd for a change. Just this morning I found a message in my e-mail box letting me know someone wrote under a thread I started in moaning and complaining and I felt a thrill to know someone was so kind and caring and answered and I want others to feel that feeling too as it is too special to take for granted, just to know someone else acknowledges your presence and welcomes you is precious. I have never joined a support group but always meant too and online is easy as I don't have to depend on anyone else to get me there and maybe you will find it the same.
Hello Tessie! I have had Fibro since at least 2005, but was "officially" diagnosed 3 weeks ago. I am new too and this forum has felt like "a breath of fresh air". It feels like I have become part of a new family, and we all have pain,anxiety,fatigue,etc. It is nice to be validated, and even better to know we all understand one another! Welcome! I wish you a pain free day friend!
Hello Tessie. Welcome to the forum. I'm glad that you found this forum. Have a nice day.
