I am Avril from Fife I am 38yrs and was diagnosed with Fibrom last year and still finding it hard to cope and adapt to a different life. Everytime I get a flare up the pain seems worse and they are also looking into the fact that I may have Irritable bowel/bladder. I have high blood presure also and depression and not coping at all. I am a council carer and looking after people that are in better health and on less tablets than myself.
Anyone want a chat, be nice to get some support.

I do hope you get your results soon on the irritable bowl syndrome. Sometimes it helps to know what you are up against.
Have a look around the site and join in anytime they are a friendly lot on here.
If you want to ask any questions post on the Living with Arthritis forum. The helpline team is very helpful if you want to ring them between Mondays and Fridays.

Hi Avril,
Nice to meet you but not under the circumstances that brings us to this site. I have fibro too! aswell as OA, it is hard isnt it. I was diagnosed in june with fibro but realise i had had it for 2 years. Irritable bowel and depression are part of the symptoms of fibro have you been given any leaflets about it?
There are other fibro sufferers with more experience who will be along soon. We are a very friendly bunch on here and we do understand the pain and what you are going through. Feel free to ask me anything i will do my best to help.
Sorry to hear your in this and i hope things are not too bad at the mo.
((((hugs))))

Hello, it's nice to meet you and I am sure that you will find the support you need from fellow fibro people. I don't have it (yet) but there are many on here that do. You will find them on the LWA forum, if you post there I am sure you will get some replies - not so many people look in on here. I wish you well. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0
