diagnosed with fibromyalgia

Hi. I’ve just today been diagnosed with fibromyalgia after many years of going to the doctor with many symptoms. I’m feeling a little bit overwhelmed and don’t know what I should do.

Hi @gillandness and a warm welcome to the community!
We do have a lot of members with fibromyalgia on the online community so hopefully they will be able to offer some support and personal experiences about how they manage their pain and ways they have found to cope.
I have just edited the title of your post to make it a bit easier for the community members to find and offer support. Hope that's okay!
We are a friendly bunch here on the community so if there is anything you need, please reach out and we will do our best to support you!1 -
