Do you feel like fibromyalgia has changed who you are?

Hi everyone 💙

How are you doing today, truly?

Living with fibromyalgia is more than just managing pain or fatigue. It can quietly reshape how you move through the world. Some members feel like they’ve lost parts of themselves that they once knew well, like their energy, independence, or spontaneity. Others discover strengths they didn’t know they had: resilience, empathy, or a new way of listening to their bodies.

• Do you ever feel like fibro has changed you, not just physically, but emotionally or mentally?
• Has it shifted your identity, your relationships, your sense of purpose… or how you show up in the world?
• What has surprised you most about the person you’re becoming through this journey?

There’s no right or wrong way to feel. Your story, just as it is, might help someone else feel a little less alone today.
