Hello everyone!

A little about myself and my history with Fibromyalgia:
My grandmother and mother both had/have fibromyalgia. My grandmother was never diagnosed until a few months before...

I have however had a few boils. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've been inflicted with these blighters. I only ever get them in one place. It's very sore and...
