Hi, I'm Melissa, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a couple of years ago and just went through the two day fibro program at Mayo. I also have bipolar disorder so am joining the mental health group as well, but I find that there is a lot of overlap between the behavioral aspects of treatment for the two illnesses - mindfulness, relaxation, stress management, exercise, diet, social support, moderation (yikes - that's not a strength area!)

Hi, Melissa, welcome! I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1990. I feel like my issues began long before that date, however. I have also had severe depression all my life. Both are fine now. Medication, mindfulness, supplements, activity and much more help so much. Until next time,
Mamacita
