    Hi from MO

    Hi there. I'm Kalli, 28 from Missouri. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Syndrome at the age of 26. It's been thought I've had it all my life.

    Do you always keep fibro and other health issues to yourself?

    Today I was thinking about a question I hear almost on a daily basis: How are you? I have learnt to kinda dislike this question over the years, because most of the people who ask you this don't really want to know how you really are, but in order to remain civil and polite they do so. It took...

    Can't keep going on like this..

    The fibro is getting worse almost daily it seems. I no longer have so called "good" days, if I am lucky, they seem to be more like "good" moments. One moment may be tolerable but within a few minutes, I can't hardly walk. My quality of life is deteriorating rapidly. I am 48 years old, single...

    Losing my mind

    Alright so I know these same questions get asked quite often and I don't mean to repeat the same old thing, but I would really like some reassurance before setting up a doctors appointment that it's "not all in my head" which has stopped me from going for the last three years now. A...
