A very warm welcome to the community @marylouise! Do you want to tell us anything else about yourself?

Chloe_Alumni

Hi @marylouise and welcome to the community! I don't have fibromyalgia but I do have chronic pain and amplified musculoskeletal pain syndrome. How are you doing today?

marylouise

Not too bad today, how about you Chloe??

Chloe_Alumni

Glad you're not too bad! I'm doing good thank you, this warmer weather certainly helps!!! Is there anything I can help you with?

marylouise

No not at the moment, other than I feel a bit down at present, can't think why?

Chloe_Alumni

That's okay! Sorry you are feeling a bit down! You might find our coffee lounge or reasons to be cheerful board interesting to look through

Hi Marylouise  the trouble with Fibro is that this messes with your brain and can cause bouts of depression or feeling low  :

Hi Barberanna I suffer with Fibromyalgia and it’s the pits because it’s an invisible illness nobody truly understands how much or what your pain is unless they are fellow warriors that battle this nasty illness themselves  . Keep your chin up we are here if you need us, do you follow fibromyalgia group on faceBook there are a couple of chat and help groups 

marylouise

I am in one facebook group & they're very supportive

It’s always it’s always nice to know you are not alone @marylouise
