Hello

PixieBells

Hello everyone. Hope you are all having s good Friday. I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia 3yrs ago now but am waiting for a blood test for arthritis as my dad had arthritis. I'm a mum to 2 children and many fur babies (2 dogs and 1 rabbit) and scaly babies (3 lizards). I have been with my partner for 15yrs and we have a loving home and I love to do diamond painting, card crafting, making frames as well as colouring, drawing and spending time with my kids and partner (when he is not working!). I live in Swindon and have family living nearby. Where I have recently moved to this area, I'm slowly making new friends x

So you were diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 3 years ago but you are currently waiting on a blood test to see if you also have arthritis like your dad.

Ive added some information about fibromyalgia on here. It may well be information you are already aware of.
