Hey Am New Here
Hey everyone I’m new here. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about nine years ago. I still struggle a lot everyday. Today I’ve been so tired and does anyone get worse with upcoming periods at all?
I am 31 and really struggle with dealing with chronic pain. I also have anxiety which I struggle a lot with. So it can feel like a heavy weight sitting on my shoulders.
