Hi my name is Sheila and I am 43 living with fibromyalgia for the past 17 years an not to many people am I able to talk to whom understand what it is that I live through day through day. People with out fibromyalgia have NO idea what it is like nor do they understand. I would really like to be able to talk to and make friends that do understand it would really be nice to talk to and have friends that know what I am talking about.
I am new to this group as well but have found that I really enjoy the people here. It is a great group and you have come to the right place.

Hi Sheila
Welcome. I am fairly new also. I was just diagnosed this past October after suffering for 8 years. It is such a struggle but I think you will find much needed information and support here. I know I have. Glad you are here.

Thank you for the warm welcome 's
It is so nice to join a group with such welcomes I look forward to getting to know you
Hi Sheila,
It’s always nice to see when someone takes a chance to get on here.
For me, it took courage. I was so discouraged from those I loved and cared
about because they didn’t get it.
And now I was going to talk to strangers? !!!
I didn’t whind up on here by accident. There were times I believe it saved my life.
There was a time I didn’t want to go on. I had no support just those in my life constantly
Expecting their high expectations of me to be met. I am grateful for those that were
There for me on here. I would love to be friends so I will send you a friend request.
I have been Having Trouble with insomnia so sorry if this is a late time to send this to you.
Hope to talk to you soon! Loveandfaith

Hope to talk to you soon. Take care and very gentle hugs.
