Hi Pat,
We all understand about your pain. That is why we are all here...for each other. I never knew who to talk to about my Fibromyalgia before because unless you experience chronic pain you really can't understand it. I have bipolar too so I jump back and forth between this site and the BipolarConnection one and I tell ya, they are a God send. This is the one place you can express how you are feeling and get feedback from people who understand. I just happened to stumble upon this site because I was looking for info on both bipolar and fibromyalgia and I am so happy these sites popped up. I am so sorry that you are going through so much but please know that we are all hear for you if you need advice, look for support, or just want to vent. It's a learning experience for all of us. Take care and keep in touch.
