Hi there - just diagnosed after 18 months of doctors etc etc etc. Just found this site, and will probably be sitting here all night reading the posts.

Just wondered if there are any Aussies here? I'm in Victoria and would love to here from any?

Cheers
Julie.

Hi Julie

Yes another Victorian. I live in the bush about 3 hours out of Melbourne. It would be nice to share resources and information. Cheers

Hi
I am in the same boat but in Sydney, just been diagnosed and just found this forum. I emailed arthritis nsw and the me association in nsw and they still havent got back to me! It seems that each state has an arthritis group which have some links with Fibro info, may be worth checking out the one in Vic and hopefully they'll get back to you! Good luck!

Filipa - I am based in Sydney also and can't seem to find any support groups - how did you go. Maybe we could chat?

I've just been diagnosed with FMS. I've just purchased a book entitled "The Fibromyalgia Handbook - A 7-Step Program to Halt and Even Reverse Fibromyalgia" by Harris H. McIlwain MD and Debra Fulghum Bruce, Ph.D, which I've found very interesting.
