    New Member, Not New to Fibro

    I have no life with Fibromyalgia

    It's been a bad day today. I'm aching all over and exhausted. My daughter says Mom you are boring,you didn't used to be this way. My daughter doesn't understand how my life has changed with this condition. I would like to get a better understanding about this condition.

    My body is a prison

    Hello Everyone, I am new to accepting this diagnosis, but not new to the pain. Pain has been haunting my body for over a year now. It seems almost over night I went from running and being a physical fitness star to being in chronic pain that has made me lose my mind a few times. I have been...

    Girlfriend with FMS

    Hey everyone, and thanks in advance! I've been with my girlfriend now about 2 years, and I can honestly say she's the person I've clicked most with. Our relationship doesn't have any of the typical issues (mistrust, fighting,etc) so I'm thankful for that. I truly love her and think that she's...

    Hey there! I'm really excited that I found this website and will be able to get some much needed understanding. My husband, family and friends are caring but it's different to be able to speak with someone who actually has the same diagnosis as me. I was diagnosed with FMS 10/2014 and had been...
