Guest guest Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia today, so I'm still trying to learn more about it. I also have osteoarthritis of the spine and in some of my other joints. I am 50 and have 2 adult aged children. I stopped working about 10 years ago so I could homeschool my autistic son and started having chronic pain problems about 5 years ago. By the time my son was able to do his own schooling (through a charter homeschool) I was already in a wheelchair. After two back surgeries, three series of epidural shots and having tried just about every pain medication on the planet, it became apparent that I wouldn't be going back into the work force. A real problem since my husband was layed off and is unemployed now. So now I'm considering a fourth stab at getting social security disability. I love to knit, sew, crochet, and play computer games (World of Warcraft and Sims are my favorites). I live in Southern California and just celebrated my 30th anniversary with my very supportive husband, Randy. We have 2 very hilarious cats and a dog that my doctor officially designated an emotional support dog. I look forward to meeting everyone and making some new friends.
