I am so thankful for this support group. I think one of the hardest things about fibromyalgia is how debilitating it feels. With not sleeping, the pain, the foginess, everything makes you feel so isolated. I am so thankful I found this group though, everyone has been nothing but supportive and helpful especially when it is most needed. I just wanted to take a second to write this post and be grateful, there really is light in the midst of the darkness of this disease. Love and blessings to all!
I was just thinking the same thing. It’s so nice to have a whole community of people who care and understand when it feels like no one does! I’m so thankful to have found this.
Hi Ahava!
Hope you are having a good day!
This site has been such a haven to us all! Ben and Scott have done such good work to give us a place where we can be understood and welcome!
We are very glad to have you, all of you!
Wising you well,
SK
I totally agree with you. Knowing we aren’t getting the looks behind our backs and that we all know how most of our days are filled, it’s reassuring knowing we have a place to come. I am so thankful that there we two very compassionate men who knew we needed a voice and a gentle hug now and then.
that means so much. thank you. Special thanks to the volunteer moderators who make this community work. They are incredibly special people.
Hi Ahava, you are so right !!! The lack of sleep, pain & fog does make us feel so isolated… And just knowing that we are not alone & so many others do understand, makes a world of difference !
I feel so blessed to be apart of such a caring, compassionate community 
reading others posted discussions, joining groups, building awesome friendships and having support when your at your wits end, has been such a blessing for me…
Thank you for taking the time to say what I know so many feel
Hugs

Hi Ahava - Welcome aboard!! So glad to have you here. We all care and understand all you go through and you will get all the support you need - it's the best! Hugs! Laurie
I agree! It is so nice to have a group to talk to and that we can all relate to what is ailing us with this darn Fibro controlling our lives. I do appreciate everyone who has welcomed me into this group as I am a newbee - At first I was not sure about a support group but now I am glad that I joined and have support from people who do not judge. By the way, nurses such as me need support as well. Thank you!
It is most definitely a blessing to have somewhere to feel safe to discuss fibromyalgia. No one else understands the way this syndrome seems to takes over your life.
It is a wonderful outlet for me to get rid of a lot of feelings that I have been holding in as you can tell from my long posts. I do isolate myself and did not know I had so much to say.
Thank you Ben and Scott, moderators and all the members of this site for allowing me to express myself!!!
This really is an amazing group that Ben and Scott started, and I'm so grateful to be a part of it. It's been a blessing in so many different ways!

Ahava, thank you for being part of our group too. We couldn't exist without our members. And I agree, it's so nice to know that someone else out there knows what we're going through. I agree, I'm thankful too.
I too want to express how grateful I am to have found this wonderful online support group and all the courageous women and men who share their experiences so that we can all learn from one another. It truly is a blessing and many thank's to Ben and Scott for their insightfulness to create such a great forum for communication and support for all of us who suffer from many different illnesses. Now I can't even imagine what I would do without all of you and the kind moderators who lend their experience and time! Thank you as I never feel alone now!
