Hello, I’m not sure how to begin being a member of a support team. I have lived 30 years with severe lower back pain,, I had failed back surgery and every procedure in the medical books, Nithing helped. I also have knee arthritis which is causing me to be homebound and I have overall body pain which Drs say is fibromyalgia. I really need support. I have no life, I’m so tired of all this pain.. hard to take shower, get dressed, wash dishes etc. Feels like a nightmare, I wish I cd wake up from. I have more to share. First want to learn how I begin

Please guide me.

@christinadv23 Hello and welcome to the club 😉. Although it may not be the club you want to join, we are all here experiencing many of the same and different issues. I follow several of the Support groups here because I have several strange issues. I find it comforting that there are people from all over the country, sharing their stories of their symptoms their problems what works what doesn’t and I find lots of helpful information. There is no owners manual necessary to be part of a Support group. I’m sorry to hear your daily suffering for so long, but I do understand. I have fibromyalgia also. The never-ending body pain and the fatigue does become very tiring and wearing on you. One question I have without knowing much is how is the support of your physician team? Don’t give up and keep searching for answers and relief. Have you checked into alternative medicines and therapies? Where you live may limit what’s available to you as well. Somehow, you find your way here 😊.
