Thank you every one for the warm welcome and even a freind request 
I’ve suffered with severe pain for 2 years and been going to see my gp every week. Had loads off bloods taken , but nothing not even a raised market appart from lfts liver…always being up and down. Bu they still don’t know why this happens.
Finally I went to see another dr 2 weeks ago and only 30 mins of talking to her she was on the phone to hospital asking for a referral to see the rymatologist and an MRI scan. I can’t believe it took her 30 minutes when I’ve been suffering in complete silence for 2 years with no help or support . So feeling really positive now I’m getting help and support, plus I found this site which is amazing xxx
Thank you Tina having a ruff day today have a burning sensation all over my leg and groin area can’t even stand clothes touching my skin omg it’s bad xxx
Welcome to the group Rita
I have been out for a couple of weeks so i am playing catch up. The settings tab will help you manage emails. It is sad that it can take so long to receive help. I am so glad that things are going better now. I hope you enjoy the site. Discussions are a great way to meet people and receive information.

I wanted to welcome you to the group.
I understand how you're feeling...we all do.I'm glad that you found this place.I can honestly say that I don't know what I would've done over the past few weeks without them.I was just diagnosed less than a month ago although I've been suffering for years,not knowing why.
I just replied to the discussion on sadness,stress and flares. It ended up being a long venting session so now,my poor little fingers are starting to hurt. Check it out if you like...That discussion is a good example of the kind of support you can expect to find here. People to relate to and Yes...get a peek inside the minds of fellow sufferers. It helps to know that we're not alone in this struggle. Isolation and self doubt is relieved a bit even through writing it down here . For me it feels safe here to express the feelings I wouldn't dare share with other people for fear of them thinking I'm totally off my rocker. It's a comfortable way to get things out.I can do it at my own pace...read something...let it sink in,all with out the pressure of trying to make it all make sense or respond promptly like you would be expected to do when talking face to face or on the phone.
I was afraid to share personal things at first. I thought that this site was just to talk about fibro. But I was quickly reassured by the feedback that I received from the members here that it doesn't matter what it is...you can ask them anything and I can assure you that these are compassionate and loving people. We are all here to help and be helped together.
So please...share with us. We no longer have to feel like we are burdening others with our problems. Stress,depression,anxiety...all the "crazy" running amuck in our heads,it's understood. Dealing with the stress of day to day living with fibro is ESSENTIAL to our well being. So instead of putting the mask is not required. PHEW! HOW REFRESHING IS THAT!
So I welcome you as I have been welcomed.We're glad to have you.
Hugs
Carolyn
