Irene, FMS/CFS the life thief. 15 year olds...

[Guest guest]

It seems that in my 20s and early 30s, when I should've been most active,

the FMS was taking away bits of my life. Now, sometimes grocery shopping is

even too much, getting out of bed is difficult. I don't know if I don't

have the will to fight it anymore, or the FMS has gotten worse over the

years. If I wrote down on a notepad everything I loved to do, I could see

myself crossing them off one thing at a time, due to the FMS...it really

does steal your life.

I have a very responsible 13 year old daughter, and I often wish I could

alter her birth certificate so that she can get her drivers license a few

years early as driving is very hard on me also! She somehow managed to talk

me into chaperoning a field trip to the Toledo zoo with her classmates, it

is about a 2 hour drive and I am so afraid that this trip will send me into

a bad flare! Although, I really want to go, the FMS is always in the back

of my mind and i'm always afraid it will rear it's ugly head!

It is in the 30's here today and raining and gloomy, just awful weather for

the osteoarthritis stiffness.
