Hi , my name is hannah . I live in a small town in northern ontario i was dignosed 4 months ago and have found it very lonely and hard . I am not planning in doing hom school and trying to find people who understand.
Hi Hannah and welcome. This is a great place to connect with others. Fibro definitely can make a person feel all alone. Feel free to join in any of the discussions and ask questions if you have some. This is a great place for support and sharing. HUGS!
Hannah, I am so glad you’ve chosen to introduce yourself in a post. 
Welcome, welcome.
We care and we understand. Please continue to reach out. Again, so glad to get to know a little more about you and thank you for the intro.
Hannah - You are SO not alone. There are millions of people dealing with FM in America and Canada. Most feel very alone at the beginning. You've done the smart thing by searching for a group of people who are living with fibromyalgia. I've had it since 1991 and am chock full of stories, advice and assorted bullsh*t! But if you don't like what I have to say, there is a community of wonderful people here that may be more in tune with what you need. What I can tell you is that I understand and everyone on this site understands what it is like to be newly diagnosed and the issues that brings up.
Let me share with you the fact that after working from home for two years after my FM started (this was back in the days when health care professionals knew virtually nothing about FM and how to treat/live with it), I went back to work...despite the FM. I commuted between an hour and eighty minutes each way to work where I rose through the ranks and eventually became VP of Sales and Marketing in charge of six departments. All of this happened while I was actively dealing with fibromyalgia. My point is that people with FM can do anything. It may not feel that way now, but once you understand the parameters of this condition and do the things necessary to effectively deal with FM (move even when you feel you cannot, maintain a good weight through diet and exercise, get treated by a rheumatologist, learn about FM through study and maintain contact with a group of people who will help guide you through the FM experience, etc), you will find that you are caable of much more than you currently think you are.
Let me again provide you with affirmation - YOU ARE NOT ALONE! WE ARE HERE FOR YOU! USE US! And welcome.
If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. I wish you the very best of luck, Hannah.

Hi Hannah
Welcome to the group. The settings tab will help you manage emails. I hope you have a supportive family. Any time you have questions please ask.
Hi Hannah.. glad you joined here. I have met so many wonderful., friendly, compassionate and supportive people. There is also a chat room that people are in and out of and that is nice too. Just keep in mind that when you enter the chat room you may notice to the left of the page it shows 'members online'. These folks could be somewhere on the site but not necessarily in the chat room. Please say hello and see if anyone is 'home'.. LOL..I am often in and out since i stay home alot.. I send you all the best plus HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGS

Welcome, Hannah! I have been with this site for several months now. I was diagnosed just over a year ago with Fibromyalgia. I have several other things that I deal with - osteoarthritis, migraines, allergies, being overweight, constant exhaustion, etc. I have found some great people who help so much just by "listening" and blogging so we can read those and garner support. I think one of the coolest things is you are in Canada and I am in Ohio and yet we can connect and get to know and support one another. I wish you a day as pain-free as possible!
I want to say thank you to everyone for such a warm welcome , i find this whole thing new , scary and overwhelming . With such amazing people such as ur selves for support i think the life style change will be a bit easier THANK YOU ALL
Hi again, I wanted to let you know there is a group for younger people with Fibro you might be interested in. Just go to the group tab and you can search it. Just fyi. Hugs
