Hi, my name is karenhollands!

Hello Karen @karenhollands and a(nother) warm welcome to the community. Very glad to hear from you.
You'll find any number of people here who have fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and similar conditions, so you are far from alone here. And even those of us who don't have the same conditions are here in your corner, wanting to help.
A lot of members with fibro and osteoarthritis post in the Dealing with chronic pain thread. Perhaps you could have a look at some of the conversations, say hello and get to meet some new people.
Don't hesitate to ask any questions or to tell us more about yourself - the better we get to know you the more easily we may find ways of being of use to you.
Warmest best wishes to you,
Richard
