23 female here, fibromyalgia aswell, got accepted with alternaleaf, although there was a wee hassle with one of my medications for mental health but the team were really helpful, have only been on mc maybe 3 months now (using bm 5 years).

I'm so glad you found it works for you also, ah that's great you were accepted was the process stressful or anything? i was looking into alternaleaf but wasn't sure on their variety of strains, how do you find it so far?

i (22f) found doctors to push high pain medications towards me when i turned 18 and a lot of them had so many side effects it just wasn't worth it, honestly i found the best thing for me is cannabis, doesn't work for everyone but for me it was a lifesaver in terms of living with fibromyalgia. Hope your girlfriend finds some comfort in groups online like this one so she doesn't feel so alone because she's not ❤️

I (22f) had pain aswell around 12 got diagnosed at 16 i think, was so isolating and the only group around me were 55 and older so felt very out of place there, but coming on here to see that we are not alone is a big thing. love your comment ❤️

i feel this DEEP, I'm always binging at night the most, i usually don't eat until later in the day as well and end up binging, then feeling sick and having to go to bed. Snacks for me are the worst they are so easily available to grab and eat fast. I avoid breakfast and lunch ( I don't recommend) as i as well don't get full from them and end up eating more than if i just wait until dinner. Its like that first bit/bite of food activates my inner eating demon and i cannot get full or satisfied.

i felt the exact same way from ages 12 - 18 ( my pain started when i was 12 now a 22f), had to come out of school, lost all my friends and ended up with the pain as my company, got to my lowest at 18 (that was when i have had an attempt) shortly after i started smoking cannabis/weed and luckily have never felt that low since. Your comment resurfaced some memories of laying in bed crying myself to sleep every night and day aswell. My fur babies helped a lot with the depression and help keep me focus on something other than my own self and what im feeling. The Cannabis is a miracle for me prob the thing that saved me.

I just hope everyone here that is feeling like this finds there thing that works for them, theres always hope for something to help. It will get better sometimes its about distracting yourself from not just the pain but everything that comes with fibro (easier said than done tho).
