Hi @JFR - welcome to the online community!

I see you've recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and as a result you're looking to get more involved in this online community. I am very happy to welcome you here 😊

As you've recently been diagnosed we have some information on Fibromyalgia which may be useful to you here:

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/conditions/fibromyalgia/

There are also a couple of personal stories from people with Fibromyalgia which could be interesting as well.

https://www.versusarthritis.org/news/2021/december/i-m-very-open-about-talking-about-my-fibromyalgia/

We also have a couple of older discussions here on the community which you may wish to look at:

• Fibromyalgia — Versus Arthritis
• Fibromyalgia — Versus Arthritis

(They're different discussions, I promise!)

Please do feel free to look around the community and join in any discussion which looks interesting or fun. Any questions are always fine, don't worry about asking anything. We are always here for you.

It's lovely to meet you!
