[Guest guest]

HI ALINIA,

I AM GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU. FM IS FIBROMYALGIA, IT IS AN AUTO-

IMMUNE DISEASE, LIKE RA AND LUPUS AND ALL THE OTHERS. IT IS REAL

DEEP MUSCLE PAIN AND CHRONIC EXHAUSTING FATIGUE. IT IS AWFUL.

WHAT I DO WITH MY TIME NOW BEING THIS DISABLED IS A GOOD QUESTION.

I USED TO BE AN ARTIST, PLAYED A FLUTE, DROVE BIG TRACTORS AND DID

FIELD WORK FOR MY HUSBAND, LOADED SEMI'S WITH SEED IN THE MIDDLE OF

WINTER IN THE COLD, BIN PILED POTATOES 30' HIGH AT HARVEST INTO THE

WAREHOUSES, ETC.....PLUS, TAKE CARE OF FAMILY OF 5.

NOW I DO NOT KNOW WHAT MY LIFE IS GOING TO BE. I DID DO A FELT

MARKER POSTER FOR AGES 4 AND UP FOR A VERY, VERY DEAR NEW FRIEND OF

MINE WHOM I MET RIGHT HERE IN THIS SUPPORT GROUP. NOW WE E-MAIL AND

INSTANT MESSAGE AND TALK ON THE PHONE EVERY SINGLE DAY. I CAN DO A

FEW THINGS SOME DAYS AROUND THE HOUSE, LIKE LAUNDRY, NO COOKING

THOUGH, I STARTED 3 FIRES. I HAVE ALOT OF BRAIN FOG FROM ALL THE

DRUGS I HAVE TO TAKE AND FROM THE FM SO I AM VERY FORGETFUL. I EVEN

HAVE TROUBLE SPELLING AND I AM ALWAYS READING VORACIOUSLY SO THERE

IS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT REMEMBERING HOW TO SPELL. I CAN'T WRITE SO I

TYPE, BUT I ALSO WAS AN INVETERATE JOURNALER.

MY LIFE IS AT STARTING AND ACCEPTING POINT AND I HAVE BEEN HERE ON

THIS SITE CRYING AND NEEDING HELP A FEW TIMES. SO DON'T THINK TO PUT

ON A HAPPY FACE WHEN YOUR NOT. WE ALL KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE. AND

EVERYONE HERE WILL HELP YOU.
