I was told at Christmas that I had fibro.It took me a few weeks to come to terms with living with it for ever.
I was in the hairdressers one day when a lady heard me talking about it. She said remember not to give every thing up and pace yourself.
Also listen to your body and rest when you can.god bless you .Take care ♥

Welcome to the Fibro folk forum and to the club nobody wants to be in. Fibro is very individual and can change from day to day. Treatment is also very individual. I could not take the drugs as the side effects were too great a trade off but I have gone down the alternative therapy route and take various supplements to help me together with a careful diet. No junk food, no gluten and completely refined sugar free. Cooking everything from scratch is a chore but the freezer can come in helpful. Also I eat lots of raw veg and fruit. Seems to help me and I certainly know about it if I eat something I shouldn't. May be worth keeping a diary to see what symptoms present when and whether there is a link to diet or exercise etc. You may find a pattern. Most important is trying to keep a positive mental attitude - hard I know.
