Hi There! Newbie here!

[Madeline]

I am so happy that I found this forum. I've read a lot of the postings, and can relate to so much, including people not understanding that fibro is not in your head and your are not being lazy and trying to avoid things! Also, the LOOONNNNNNNG path to finally getting the right diagnosis!

Look forward to hearing about others' experiences and learning about other ways to cope with this. I've probably had it longer than I realized, but was too caught up in sucking it up because that's how I was raised, plus I had other issues as well. Finally got a definitive diagnoses in May of this year. Not that I'm glad I have it, but at least now I know why I feel so lousy at times.
