Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Welcome . The diagnosis is very confusing to many of us at first. You're so young, and then to find out you have this life-long chronic condition can be overwhelming(sp?). If you check out the files and links on the website, it will lead you to lots of excellent places to learn stuff. I hope by joining our group you realize that you are not alone in your suffering and confusion. We are here to help and support you. My 14 yr. old daughter also has FM. Take care.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hi yes I agree you are so young but then again I was younger once upon a time ago too when I first got Diagnosed. I was Diagnosed back in 98 and I am now today 42 yrs old. There is a lot to learn about Fibro on the net just go to your favorite search engine and look it up. But the best place to look is like the Fibromyalgia Network (Based out of Tucson AZ.) or like the National Fibromyalgia Association - these few places you will learn a lot of what you have. Do you have a support group in your area that you can attend too? They are always nice because you can get the support that you need there.Plus you get to meet people that have the same as you do or more. You should look into this - I have come to know that they do help offline and I have made many friends through this and we call each other a lot during the week to see how we are all doing. The Best thing about OUR support group at the end there is ALWAYS a HUG before you walk out that door. So try to look for one in your area.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 , first of all ((((((Hugs))))). Sorry you have this condition. My name is Tammi. I'm 36, married and stay at home mother of two teens. I was dxed at 31 but had chronic pain since 22 and symptoms since 18. I have a son who also has fibro. He's not as sever as most and is fairly " normal. " I had never heard of fibro until a couple weeks before dx. The internet is very helpful. I found this group only recently and they are very supportive and helpful with figuring out some of stuff that goes with this illness. I hope you are seeing a good doctor. Don't be afraid to ask the doctors about your condition. The more you know the better your care and treatment. Ask anyone here anything you want, they know so much about so much.
