Been ill for a few years, but finally Monday i got the diagnosis.
Spent last night looking at the forums whilst my account was activated, you all seem live lovely people.

And omg reading the threads, was like reading about me, it was scarey i finally fit a slot, it is such a relief.
Anyhoo My name is Jill, single mum to Josh (14) been divorced 10 years, got a lovely caring partner now, who is slowly learning what bombshell has just dropped into my lap. and a year old fur ball called Perry, my lovely Jack Russell cross.
I have Uvitis http://www.uveitis.net/ had this about 5/6 years and was told then that having this auto immune disease i would most likely have something else, so being ill and having FM wasn't so much of a shock as i knew i would have something, we just never knew what it would be.
Having a spot of bother with work atm, so i am off sick, they put me on capability policy saying i wasn't up to scratch i kept forgetting to do things, i told them my memory was gone, and oh look its part of FM, big meeting Tuesday with them to see if they can help my return to work, unlikely to return now as i can't even leave my home without the usual pain etc etc.
So that is me, i expect i will be posting lots, having had time to have a read it's like coming home, from being lost it really is, so many threads that sound like me.
oo forgot to say i am also deaf in my right ear which happened around the same time as the uvitis, and still wondering if bits of me going wrong is part of the whole FM thing.
