I am new and am trying to get help

Post a new topicby 381 on Tue Mar 10, 2009 3:13 pm

I was just told by my doc. I have fibromyalgia like my sister. I am very active but hurt all the time, and if I set down I will fall a sleep. I am trying to find out as much as I can because my sister has it and is disabled and can't work now. Can anyone help me out. 381
