    hi Faymess

    i have had fm for 16 years and suffer the same it is so embarrassing, i totally sympathize !

    unfortunately I have tried everything and nothing seems to work.

    I was told recently there maybe a surgical procedure but i have other health problems that might make this impossible for me, but im yet to talk to my doctor as my surgery has a one thing per appointment ! and they are like gold dust !!

    will keep uyou updated and will follow you to see if anyone else has and better news for you than me 😊xx

      Hi Mannie,

      I have been suffering the same. My Dr. says I have fibromyalgia, But I think it is menopause. How are you finally diagnosed with menopause. I am really interested in it. Thanks

      Hi LucyI haven't had a period in 3yrs and my doctor told me 2yrs ago I was going through the menopause. You can get a testing kit,just like a pregnancy test stick you can buy,do it a couple of times tho as hormone levels change all the time hope this helps,pus ask your doc for a blood test👍😊
