I’m new to this group as I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia just yesterday.

I’m actually pretty happy to be diagnosed. The reason for that is because I’ve have the symptoms for about half a year now and the only answer I had was “there’s inflammation somewhere”

I’m very lucky to have a doctor who respects and believes me and does what she can to help me through things. It will be hard telling myself that resting is okay and that I’m not lazy. It’s so good to finally have answers at long last. For me, a diagnosis means I wasn’t making it up and even if it’s a life long thing like fibromyalgia and painful bladder syndrome, there’s ways to manage it.
