Thanks for the welcome everyone

I haven't started any meds yet, in fact my reumy said Fibromyalgia can be controlled with diet and losing weight would help, felt disheartened as I've been fat for 20 years and tried every diet under the sun!!!

Been absolutely wiped out this week with a 4 year old son, house to run and two jobs I am barely keeping on top of things, my OH is fabulous, I'd be lost without him, but I am EXHAUSTED all the time, in fact I am tired of saying I am tired, no one is listening any more...lol

I ache all over and have awful pains in my arms and actual shoulders, where my arm and shoulder meet, it's very painful and I can't lift my arms, especially my left one..

O.K. moan over.. better go and organise dinner.

Thanks for listening xx

Sarah you have to take care of yourself pushing too much is just going to make your condition worse and you more tired than ever diet and weight loss dont IMO control FM they just lead to a healthier lifestyle which of course is what we all would like in a perfect world I have also tried every diet going and am still overweight

But please try to find some balance so you aren't racing around and then crashing
