    Hi Nickaleen, I am glad you reached out.
     This is a wonderful, supportive and understanding community and I hope you get much value out of it.
     I too am diagnosed with and suffering Fibromyalgia and understand the complexities, loneliness and frustrations, especially when it comes to the lack of support from GPs and the invisible nature of it. It takes a lot of energy so well done for your persistence and for reaching out for support!

    Hi @Nickaleen. Welcome to Scope's forum. It is great to see you have joined us. Nothing to add to what everyone else has already said but if you need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

    Thanks for sharing your positive experiences here @ResilientNeighbour07. It is always lovely to hear you find it a wonderful, supportive and understanding community. I can empathise with your difficulties with fibromyalgia and systems too as I also have fibromyalgia. One thing we can all take away from here is that none of us is ever alone  :)
