My name is April jo. I am a happily married wife and mom to two homeschooled boys. I have been diagnosed with Fibro and recently with early menopause. My MAIN problem is I have these "mini panic attacks." They aren't severe, but I never know when thay are going to show up. So I wanted a place to come a chat with other people who understand!

My name is Rich. It's really good to meet you! I'm happy you found this place, and hope that you really do like it. I suffer with fibro too, and also from those "mini" panic attacks. Boy, they sure don't seem so mini when they are happening though, do they? They may not last real long, but it feels like hours sometimes.

I hope you meet a lot of nice people here, which is almost a sure thing if you talk to anyone. They're all a bunch of nice people. And I look forward to maybe getting to know you better, and seeing you around. Good luck and God bless you!

Hi April Jo, welcome to NT! I'm very glad you found us, although saddened that you have a reason to be here at all.

Here's a link to the Fibro forum: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12

I'm sure you'll find all the data you need there. It's also a great way to get and give the emotional support that is so very important. It also feels great to be giving back, as a lot of here are in the same boat as you, mainly housebound. (I have different diseases than you, but have the same lack of socialization, lol)

Hi April Jo. I have fibro as well and completely understand what you are going through. I see that you've been directed to the fibro forum but it sounds like you may want to visit the anxiety disorders forum as well. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=50

I'm glad you found us. Welcome to NeuroTalk.
