Hello @lesley12 and a very warm welcome to you. Moan away - we're here to listen and most of our members will have done their fare share of moaning in the past. It's not as if there's a lot else we can do a lot of the time, is it
However, you might like to have a look at our "Dealing with chronic pain" resource and at the conversations and advice within it. I think fibro figures in there quite a lot and it will help you be in contact with others with similar issues.
Otherwise bear with us, other members will be in touch to welcome you. There's a great bunch of people here.
Warmest best wishes to you,
