Hello Molly (?) @molly45, and welcome to the community. It is good to have you with us.
I've done a very quick search for you and found a conversation https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/38313/fibromyalgia you may be interested in. It is posted under the forum 'Dealing with chronic pain" for which the link is in the list lower down the page, but you can use this one: https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/chronicpain
I know that we have a lot of fibromyalgia sufferers among our members and am sure you will find many to talk to, as well as specialists who may be able to offer advice.
You have found a safe place here and are among friends, so please don't be shy of telling us about yourself or of asking any questions. The better we get to know each other, the easier we may find ways to be of use to you.
Hope this helps.
Warmest best wishes to you,

Hi @molly45, and welcome!
As Richard says, we have many members with fibromyalgia. Our chronic pain categories linked above may be of interest, but Fibromyalgia Action UK are a great organisation and have lots of info and support on their website.
