My name is Alyssa but like to be called Lyssie... I am 23 years old and was diagnosed with Scoliosis aged 10. To cut a very long story short I am mainly in chronic pain and have been for a few years now. I'm on a lot of pain medication. I have recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia as I have widespread chronic pain (back, legs and feet mainly) along with fatigue and unable to sleep (am on a sedating antidepressant). I have bladder problems where I am unable to empty fully so I self catheterise (ISC - Intermittent Self Catheterisation) I have 3 metal rods attached to my spine from 2 previous spinal fusion ops. I am due to have the posterior hardware out on the 22nd of *this* month eeek!

I am glad to have found this forum and would like to get to know other people with Fibromyalgia

I hope that's okay

Thank you for reading and lots of love x x x
