Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hello everyone - My name is a and although diagnosed just last year, I've probably had this since I was in my teens. That was a whole lot of years ago. 2007 was a very stressful year for me and I think that threw me over the edge - I reached a point where I couldn't deal with the pain anymore. My internal medicine doc tried a few years ago to talk about the possibility of all my 'issues' being fibromyalgia, but I wouldn't consider it. I work in the medical field and believe that if you can't show me a test result that proves I have this, then it isn't real. right. Part of me feels that I should toughen up and quit whining...that's the part in total denial of the diagnosis. The other part hurts so badly, is so scared and desperately needs others likewise afflicted to talk to! The other day, my sister asked me how I was feeling and I told her that I didn't know because I don't 'check in' with myself too often. When I do, I realize how badly I hurt. Then I wonder why I'm so tired all the time! My 3 children are grown - 2 are married. I have one adorable 2 1/2 yr old grandson that is the light of my life. Another grandchild will be born in August. Being a grandma is so awesome! I've been reading posts to the group and so much is familiar. I'll attempt to add my '2 cents' to threads and hope to do so appropriately. Reading that this group is like a family is so comforting! I look forward to 'talking' with people who actually know what I'm going through!! take care! a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
