Hi @kerrie81 and welcome to the community

Hi @kerrie81 - Welcome to this friendly & supportive community. We have a lot of people here that have fibro unfortunately. I have the hypermobile type of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, & I've read that the pain many of us suffer is most similar to fibro. My disorder caused early onset of OA, & again, many of us here have that too. So, you're in good company.

I hope you enjoy being part of this community, & thank you for joining.
