    Lol, fibro is emotionally insane sometimes

    I joined this forum today, everybody here seems really supportive. To be honest though, at first reading things here depressed me more.

    New forumite, diagnosed in October

    Hi! I was diagnosed at the very start of October. I've been living with the symptoms for years now, but the process is finally finished. What sucks the most is that I wasn't prepared for it. I'd been feeling like it was likely for so long, but when I actually got the diagnosis, I couldn't help...

    New member, 27 years after diagnosis, and struggling

    I'm so glad I found this site! I was diagnosed in 1989. At that meeting, the rheumatologist who gave me this diagnosis (I had absolutely no knowledge of fibro) said "Some people go on to live their lives, and others aren't able to ever get out of bed again." I decided I would belong to the...
