    Hey @ravenstar123

    Welcome to Scope's forum. It is great to see you have joined us. How are you today? I also have fibromyalgia so I can understand some of the difficulties you may face with it.

    Would you like to tell us more about how you are currently finding your fibromyalgia? or what helps you to manage your fibromyalgia?  :)

    Im sorry to hear that, have you tried heat, such as warming pads, to help?

    Hey @ravenstar123

    Thanks for continuing to reach out for support. I always appreciate how much courage it must take to reach out for support.

    Have you got anyone who can share the childcare with you? And have you spoken to your GP about your chronic pain and fatigue? It must be a really tough time for you and I am sorry to hear that.

    Please know we are always here for you and listening to you  :)
