Welcome to KickAS Stacey.
I can't add much to what the others have already said. I'm new to this disease as well, dxed just over a year ago. I've had symptoms for 30 some years. It's a bit of a relief to know that it isn't just in my head. I was begining to think I was nuts. You're lucky that you were dxed now rather than years and years from now. Let the treatment begin. Life can be pretty normal if you take care of yourself.
Posture, exercise (I swim alot), stretching and this website are great starters for pain relief. If you have a good doctor he or she will handle the rest.
Welcome to the family.
