in response to holly's email

April 5, 2006

i messed up and couldn't get my message out to holly, don't ask me what i did.

LOL

but here goes my response

hey holly!

after 12 yrs of complaining someone has finally put a name to all of my

ailments and wrapped them tightly into a ball and wrote fibromyalgia & CFS on it

and threw it at me and hit me over the head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank God! I

knew i wasn't going insane and wasn't making all of these things up. started

out with headaches and it was right after i had just had my 1st child at the age

of 19, 9 lbs and 8 ozs...she was so big! she tore me but i had her

naturally...She is definitely a God-Sent Child! she cooks for us, she cleans

for us, she helps the youngest with her homework, she does the

clothes...etcetcetc. SHe knows when i should stop, just like your husband

knows. They have been living with us for the last couple of years. They see us

at our lowest! My youngest who is 6 shaved her mamas legs and underarms because

her mama just couldn't do it. Anyway, what i am trying to get at in all this

mumbo jumbo is that we as fibro/cfs victims have to learn who we are

after the fibro. I do not let the fibro run my life but it has definitely put

a wrench in the plans. I know that if i work fulltime, then i am not going to

be able to do alot around the house. guess who does it? my girls. I know that

if i want to take them to a b-day party, that i must make sure thats the only

plans and go home and rest after the party, instead of going home and washing

the dog or cleaning out the fridge....because if i do those things, i'm going to

pay for it the next day laid up in the bed in agony. so work on you!!!! if

people get angry/upset about your limitations then thats there problem, not

yours! take care of numero uno! i think i'm done. billie

Smile Jesus Loves You!
