    Hello!

    Hi, I'm Nicole. I was diagnosed on the 18th of July with Fibromyalgia, and have since been gathering up information and looking for support groups. I'm 21, and love table topping and LARPing. I'm so far optimistic about managing it, but information and support is always good.

    Random Question

    Hello all. Can someone please tell me what a "reputation point" is? I noticed that I have 10 of them. Is that good or bad? LOL Sorry, as I know this is not part of the conversations here.

    Can Fibro lead to a Nervous Breakdown?

    I've been throwing this around in my (anxious) mind all morning. If psychological trauma could have caused fibro, could being under continuous psychological duress push us into an official nervous breakdown that we cant' come back from? This might be off the wall, I think I'm in a panic...
