    The Depression Letter

    Reading the Fibromyalgia letters made me think I should write one like it, only talking about Depression. So I just now did. And here it is: I have spent more of my life depressed than I have spent being not depressed. Most people don't think that is possible, but believe me, it is. Many people...

    Diagnosis process

    Hello, I was just wondering how long it took people to get their fibro diagnosis? My physiotherapist told me that it sounds like I have it and to go to my GP - he has said it sounds likely that I do have it, but we still have to diagnose it and discount any other illnesses etc. To my...

    Coping with fibromyalgia is challenging

    Greetings, Thought I'd join this community as I've reached a point where coping on my own has become more challenging. This is not to say I do not have my husband's support.

    Disability Scare Flare

    As you might know I have been on here quite some time sharing my advice and life with fibromyalgia with all of you. I got my SSD in 2007, and up until this year they never once contacted me concerning rechecking for eligibility, that is until I got a part time job this year. I came home one day...

    Feeling really low & a bit sorry for myself!

    Hi I've only just joined the group & really need a good kick up the backside to snap me out of this low mood! I've not been formally diagnosed with fibro yet, after going over my symptoms & finding so many tender points my rheumatologist said it was a possibility. I also have hypermobility...
