Ginger,

Glad to meet you. We sound somewhat similar. I can't write much now

because it's my nap time. I hope to get to get to know you more in the

future.

Hi everyone,I'm Ginger. I just wanted to introduce myself and tell

you a little about me. I'm 43 and live in Western North Carolina.

I'm divorced and have a son 20 and a daughter 15 that live with me.

I love animals,especially dogs.I breed and raise a few just for my

pleasure and to help with my income.They are my furbabies and are

what helps me get through my days.

I've had Fibro and Chronic Fatigue for a little over 15 yrs. I was

diagnoised with Depression about 9 yrs ago and I've since gotten my

SSI and Disablity.Just this past year I was diagnosed as being bi-

polar.

I also have pernicious anemia (can't absorb B12),knots in my

thyroid,an anuerism in my renal artery,and possibly Epstein Barr

Virus. I have chills,body aches,fevers (basically flu like symptoms)

etc with mine. I've met a few people with Fibro that have these

symptoms but I know not everyone does. My Doctor put me on Lyrica

about 4 months ago,and I'm on a lot of anti-depressants. I can't tell

that the Lyrica is doing a whole lot for me - as an anti-depressant

or for the Fibro.

Well I guess that's about it! I'm glad that I've found a group of

people that can and will understand the problems of living daily with

Fibro. So many people don't understand because we look " normal " to

them! Everyone have as good a day as possible and take care...
