New to Fibro and Board

[mistresshellcat]

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia last month after many years of pain and depression. I saw a new doctor that noticed my mother, my aunt, and my sister have it. It explained alot and now they are geting me on medicine to help with the symptoms. The thing I noticed is that I seem to not sleep or get a rested sleep. My fingers freeze in a position and I have move them. Mostly, I have noticed that my depression has gotten much worse. I would love to talk to others who are experiencing this. I feel very alone. I feel like no one understands.

I guess my major complaint right now is the way I perceive people. I feel like everyone is looking at me and saying "nothing is wrong with her." my husband has said that he doesn't understand why all of a sudden I am in pain. I tell him that I have been in pain for sometime. I am starting to think living in pain without knowing the cause was easier. Now that I have a name for my pain, I feel alone. I don't want you ro think that my husband and family are not supportive because they are. I think most if it is how I am percieving people's thoughts.
