Hi, I am christineK and I have fibromyalgia, scoliosis, deteriorated disk and arthritics (back and fingers). Looking for others who deal with pain on a constant basis. So glad I found this site. First diagnosed with FMS 24 years ago.

@christinek Well, if you want to talk about your aches and pains, this is the place. Welcome. It's nice to have a connection with people who understand, and when they ask how you're doing, it's ok to say something beside "fine". It's also a great place to learn, and to see that you're not alone.

Hello @christinek, I would like to add my welcome to @jimhd's.

You mentioned a few medical conditions that have conversations happening elsewhere on Connect. You can check them out here:

- Fibromyalgia pain, http://mayocl.in/2hgUGcv
- Searching for Adults living with scoliosis, thoracic stenosis, http://mayocl.in/2jA1y63 (brief but could use your input)

@christinek, would you mind explaining FMS is? In my own search I could only find functional movement systems, but that is a screening tool used by medical providers. I look forward to seeing your posts in other discussions christinek.

That is great to hear! I tried another site and it was very depressing reading others posts.

@JustinMcClanahan I have had the medical community document Fibromyalgia as FMS, Fibromyalgia Syndrome. I'd like to hear from @christinek to see if she is referring to this acronym.
