    • Close Fibromyalgia

      Hi my name is Lori. I have a long story but I will make it shorter. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1985. That is when it was called Fibrositis. I had it a few yrs before then for sure. It took them about 5 yrs to diagnose. I also suffer from Chronic Fatigue, Migraines, Hypothryoidism,Depression,DDD and IBS. I seem to have more days of feeling down and not as many feeling up. Looking forward to chatting with others. My family is not as supportive as they need to be for me.
