Hi Everyone,

I just joined yesterday and I finally have a moment to sit down and

say hello. My name is and I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 7

years ago at the age of 19. It came on while I was away at

college. Let me tell you, college is not condusive to learning to

live with illness. I was lucky that I was diagnosed within 2 months

but it took me almost 4 years to really get to a good place.

I was able to stay in school fulltime even though my grades suffered

at first. I was able to use my psychology classes to really delve

into research on the illness and also use my creative writing

classes to express myself (those are my degrees). My now finace has

been with me thru it all and although he doesn't always get it he

does his best to help me out.

I am able to work fulltime which is not always the case with this

illness. I have to take full advantage of sick days and can't

afford to waste them if I'm only having a minor flare up which can

be hard.

One of the biggest things I am grateful for is that God has given me

the attitude that I was glad to have a name for what I was feeling

and said, " okay now what... " as in what can I do to feel better. I

try not to dwell on it and I am very greatful my symptoms have been

mild. I do have my days of aw d@mn!

So now that I've rambled on and said hi and probably told you more

than you wanted to know I hope to be able to come on here if not

daily at least a couple of times a week. Life is busy with work and

planning my wedding in October but that just means when I flare I'm

going to need more support than usual!

Thank you for being in this group!
