Fibro Chat: Friendships & Having a Social Life When Living with Fibromyalgia

Date: March 17, 2026 @ 12 pm, EDT

Theme: Friendships & Having a Social Life When Living with Fibromyalgia

The Fibromyalgia Association Canada (FAC) invites you to join us on March 17 for a meaningful Fibro Chat with Trudy and Lynn, centered on the theme “Having Friendships and a Social Life When Living with Fibromyalgia.”

Living with fibromyalgia can make it challenging to maintain social connections. Fluctuating symptoms, fatigue, and pain can impact the ability to make plans, keep commitments, or engage in activities the way one once did. These challenges can sometimes lead to feelings of isolation, misunderstanding, or even loss of friendships.

This Fibro Chat offers a safe, welcoming space to explore these experiences openly. Together, we will reflect on the realities of navigating friendships while living with a chronic condition, share personal insights, and discuss ways to foster meaningful connections that are understanding, flexible, and supportive.

Whether you are looking to rebuild your social circle, strengthen existing relationships, or simply feel less alone in your experiences, this conversation is an opportunity to connect with others who truly understand. Through shared stories and supportive dialogue, we aim to highlight that while fibromyalgia can change how we socialize, it does not take away the importance—or possibility—of friendship and connection.

Join Trudy (Chair of FAC) https://fibrocanada.ca/ and Lynn Power Over Pain https://poweroverpain.ca/ for an honest and compassionate discussion where every voice is valued and every experience matters.
