    Hi @lauree

    Welcome! :)

    You are not alone as many members of the community suffer with fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis and I am sure they will be more than happy to offer you support and a hand of friendship :)

    Please forgive me as I have not heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis, would you mind explaining what the condition is? If not, not to worry :)

    Ami :)
