Hi-- My First Time Here

Hi--

I'm a forty seven year old male who has Lyme Disease which has now been diagnosed as FM. I'm in constant pain and never have a let up in it.
Meds help, but it's only enough to keeps me moving and functioning.
It's been a long road and now I have to live with FM.

I just wanted to introduce myself before I post or respond to posts.

peace,
Ed

Thanks for the warm welcome, Linda. It's really nice to find a group of caring and supportive people. I had joined another message board for Fibromyalgia, but all there was to be found was alot of infighting. It was so off topic, I'm glad I landed here.

peace,
Ed

Re: Hi-- My First Time Here

Welcome to our world. We appreciate having a man drop in and keep us in line. You are right this is a great place to post as it is a smaller group. I have tried posting on other fibro sites also and some of them are too overly religious or too big and one gets lost in the shuffle. On top at left there is a box that says New Thread. Also, look on bottom on posting rules when you answer to see if it says you may post new threads. I was lost for awhile also on starting a new thread -- well, to be perfectly honest I am lost a lot of times! The people here are all real friendly and there have only been a couple of times when their opinions on treatment were crammed down your throat repeatedly or negative somewhat hostile replies, but you always have a few who are just surfing, drop in to stir up the pot and not add anything positive. We do have a sense of humor also which is a requirement to survival after being diagnosed with fibro, etc., and trying to seek efficient treatment. How long ago were you diagnosed with fibro? What type of doctor gave you diagnosis? What type of meds are you on? Checking you out to see if male gets better treatment than us poor females who doctors seem to thrive on making us run around in circles. (TT)
