HI AND WELCOME EVERYONE!
My name is Dayna and I am 23 years old. I have been diagnosed with FMS, HMS, & CFS/M.E and so has my sister Dee who is 20. I decided to put together a web site firstly to help myself understand what I had, and now to also help others share their experiences with people that DO understand. As I`m sure you know there aren`t many understanding people around. Luckily I have my sister who is going through the same thing and I have understanding parents. Yet I still go in search of other peoples stories so I can familiarise and identify with them. As with all these conditions little is known, my site`s aim is to offer help, information & shared support (H.I.S.S) to sufferers, the newly diagnosed and carers alike to ensure they do not have to struggle alone with this chronic, life-altering illness. I hope you find this website usefull and I have also put together an online email based support group for sufferers which you can join below.
This support group is mainly to help others share their experiences and problems with people that DO understand and know what it is like to suffer with FMS and/or HMS or/and CFS(ME). The good thing about email & online support groups is that you can communicate non face to face, and you will get support and advice from others who may be going through similar to you. UNFORTUNATELY WE ALL HAVE THESE DEBILITATING CONDITIONS IN COMMON. As a member(which is obviously free to join)you will recieve emails form all other members, and you can send emails yourself(which will automatically go to all members) You may want to ask questions, offer others advise, talk about treatments, diagnosis's, people who don't understand e.t.c, or just to let off some steam, remember that YOU CAN and you will probably feel better afterwards for doing so. As a member you can also read members own bio's and submit a bit about youself in the files menu, invite members to join, promote this site on your own website, create or take part in polls(mini-surveys), upload and share files and photos, chat online(a smiley face by the members name indicates that they are online which means that you can invite them to chat), add and share related dates & events on the online calendar. Only members have access to all these features, so things are kept private as Members are only people who have FMS, and/or HMS, and/or CFS. JOIN MY fmshmscfs EMAIL GROUP BELOW!!!!

I`m sure you`ve all been through every emotion there is whilst dealing and trying to cope with your condition(s).
 
including the vicious pain cycle. I'm sure you've circled it a few times. (see diagram above)
That is why it is important to get support form others. Those who may be going through the same as you. This way you will see that you are not suffering alone. Below you can enter my live FMS HMS & CFS chat room anytime of the day or visit my message board to read or post messages to others. Also in the chat room there is scheduled chat to enable more people in there at once. It is really easy to use, its completely free of charge, you dont have to register and bother with passwords and it loads really quickly. But please remember the people in these chatrooms are genuine sufferers or families and friends of sufferers of these conditions. So NO ABUSE or OFFENSIVE behaviour will be tolerated. If you do experience any please contact me straight the way.
SCHEDULED CHAT:- (this way there will be others in the chat room) MONDAYS 10pm-midnight (uk time) THURSDAYS 3pm-5pm (uk time)
