Introduction
I joined this group because I want to meet YOU!
Tell us when were you diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Maybe you are new to it, or you've had it for years.
I was diagnosed in 1996, but I had been having symptoms for a couple of years before that. Fortunately, I had to go to only 2 doctors before getting my dx.
Tell us how fibromyalgia has impacted your life. Try to think of at least one thing positive .For example, having fibro has caused me to slow down and not rush through life.
Mostly, I tend to see fibro as negative, e.g., decreased self esteem, constant pain and fatigue. There are times, though, when I appreciate having to slow down. Also, people whom I have met who have fibro tend to be the nicest, most caring people.
Tell us what you would like to do to get involved with this group. For example, you can respond to Message Board threads, you can submit Meetup Ideas, you can help host a Meetup, you can post greetings on FibroFriends members' profile pages, etc.
Obviously I will be very involved since I'm the organizer. I'm not real good with greeting new members, but I try.
Tell us how often you can attend Meetups: once a month, once a week, more often, less often.
I would love to come once a week, but that may not always be possible.
What Anna is saying about this Meetup Group
People with fibromyalgia need a reason to get out. Meeting with others who know what it feels like to get out and still be in pain and fatigue helps smooth the awkwardness of having to explain how you feel.

Hi Anna and other Fibrofriends,
Ididn't know you weren't well, Hope you are better. I got yo Weck's about 12:20-12:30 and no one was there from our group. I was getting ready to leave, when Laura arrived. The teo os us had a nice lunch and chat. Bobbie, it is unfortunate we missed you. See you all next time -
Anna-I hope you're feeling better. I was at Wecks from 10:45 to 12:15 waiting in front & no one came. By that time I wasn't even hungry so I just left.

Anna, No one showed ip for the July or August meetups at Borders. Since they're closing the store, the location needs to be changed if we want to see if anyone comes in September. What are you're thoughts?

Hi Anna!! :)
I'm so excited to actually get out and meet some new people! Depression and being bed bound... BE GONE! Wooo hooo! :D

Hi, Landra from the Satellite meetup. The gym I was referring to is off of Coors on Los Volcones. I think it is just for Seniors. They have classes as well as equipment.

Hi! Anna,
I received your last message with your phone number included in it, but must have missed the first one. When the message is from Meetup, it is difficult to sift through all of them... Feel free to write me at: [masked]. I hope this finds you doing well! I'm on my way to Ojo Caliente to get a massage, sun, and wonderful mineral waters on my body. It's the best place to relax that I know.
If the "rapture" doesn't take us away, I look forward to seeing you soon! Flo -
Thanks for the card, Anna. I appreciate your offer. I'm gradually feeling better, but still taking more pain meds than I'd like. I'm adding more activities to my days. I'm going on my monthly walk with a few women Monday morning, so can't do the coffee, but will make the butterflies for sure!
