I suffer from Fibromyalgia, IBS and Diverticular disease plus like many others as a consequence I have mental illness as well. I always believed that would never be me. Well obviously it is now. That being the case, I finally took my head out of the sand and decided that I really need to chat with other like minded people. That's the reason I joined. Thank you for having me.

Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself and your experiences. We have many members with fibromyalgia, IBS, diverticular disease, and mental health problems, so you're certainly not alone.
Did you have anything specific in mind that you'd like to chat about to start with? There's no pressure to, but you're more than welcome to post a question or conversation topic any time you want.
