Hey everyone,

Finally after 2.5 years I have got a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. I do believe I have been suffering with it alot longer though. I am here to find out more and how me and my family can deal with it all better. I have 2 young children who don't quite understand what's going on.

Sadly due to my health has gone rapidly down hill and I have not been able to socialise as much as I want to, so instead of helping through the process and keeping my spirits high, my so called friends have walked away from me. So I am pretty lonely and looking to make new friends. I am that lonely and bored of my own company I joined the old of Tik Tok, I don't do many videos as I have no confidence but I love watching others make a fool of themselves.

Thanks for reading my essay. Hope to speak to some soon.
