Guest guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hello everyone, My name is . I am a single mom of two and I have been dealing with Fibromyalgia for about 9 years now. The root cause of my Fibro was being hit by a car in 1995, along with other traumatic events in the few years following. It is great to find a group of people who understand and can offer support. I also hope to offer as much support as I can. I look forward to getting to know you all. L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 You were hit by a car? Yikes! Being a single mom with fibro must be so hard. How bad is your fibro? Jill New Member...

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 , Thanks for the welcome, and welcome to you too! :-) I think it is great that you are here to support your gf and learn more about this dreadful illness. I wish more loved ones would do the same. It would be so helpful to those of us who have to struggle with this on a daily basis, and don't have many people in our lives who " get it " . > > Welcome to the group, I am new also..

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Jill, Yes, I was hit by a car crossing the street when this idiot who wasn't paying attention made a left turn (on a red light) right into me and my son! My son was 3 at the time and luckily he was walking on my right (I was hit on my left and fell on him). Being a single mom with fibro, who also works at home, studies and homeschools my kids (triple yikes!) can be extremely hard. I sometimes don't know how I get through some days, but I do. My fibro is not as bad as it was a few years ago, when I didn't know what it was; but I generally have all-over pain, in varying degrees, every day of my life. I can't think of one day in the last 9 years that I did not have pain. I also suffer from migraines (for 29 years), Arthritis in my left hand and Carpal Tunnel in my right, Sciatica, IBS, severe allergies and skin sensitivity. So, to reiterate my previous statement...I don't know how I do it! > > You were hit by a car? Yikes! Being a single mom with fibro must be so hard.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 ... a BIG welcome! It is almost like when we find this site, we have finally found someone in this world that understands what we go through. Things no one else can ever understand and things I cannot discuss with most people in my life..... I can vent them here. We are all in the same boat. It seems common that some kind of trauma, physical or emotional, has occured in our lives and set this beast into motion. I don't think we will ever know why. hugs to ya, Debra V.
