A gentle place to begin if you’re new to fibromyalgia — or new to Versus Fibro.
Living with fibro can feel confusing, lonely, and overwhelming. This page gives you a calm starting point, whether you’re newly diagnosed, struggling mentally, or just looking for real‑life support.
A little About Me & Versus Fibro:
Living with fibromyalgia has shaped every part of my life — the good, the hard, and the parts I’m still learning to understand. For years I felt lost inside symptoms I couldn’t explain and emotions I didn’t have the tools to untangle. Versus Fibro grew out of that experience: a place where I could share what I’ve learned, speak honestly about the realities of fibro, and offer the kind of gentle support I wish I’d had at the beginning.
My values here are simple: be real, be kind, and never overwhelm. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I do believe in sharing lived experience, practical tools, and small moments of hope. A big part of my own healing has come through IPT therapy — learning how my emotions, relationships, and symptoms connect, and slowly rebuilding a sense of myself within all of this.
If you’re here, you’re already doing something brave. And I’m glad to walk a little of this path with you.
Versus Fibro is built to be a gentle, honest space — somewhere you can land on the hard days and feel a little less alone. Everything here is designed to be simple to navigate, easy to read, and supportive of both your body and your mind.
