Chronic Disease and Chronic Condition Support Community
Live groups available daily.
Fibromyalgia hurts all over, and being doubted can hurt as much as the pain. ShareWell has free online support groups for people living with long-term illness and pain, where you do not need to prove anything.
Understanding fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia causes pain all over the body, fatigue, trouble sleeping and trouble concentrating, often called fibro fog. No single test confirms it, so getting a diagnosis can take visits to several doctors, and many people feel doubted along the way.
How peer support helps with fibromyalgia
Peer support can help with fibromyalgia because validation matters when tests come back normal. Hearing others describe the same pain and fog confirms that what you feel is real.
What fibromyalgia groups often cover
- Pain all over the body that is worse on some days
- Fibro fog and forgetting words
- Sleep that does not restore you
- Doctors, family or employers who doubt you
ShareWell groups are peer support and do not give medical advice, so please keep working with your care team on anything about diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Who these groups may help
- People diagnosed with fibromyalgia
- People whose pain has no clear explanation yet
- Anyone who has been told it is all in their head
