Recently Diagnosed and New to The Group

August 12, 2002

Hi Everyone,

My name is Jim, 45 years of age and I live in Southern California. I

was diagnosed with Fibro/CFS roughly 2 months ago, I cried like a

baby! In the several years prior to the diagnoses I couldn't even

tell you the number of doctors that I went through complaining of the

same issues and each one said that I was either to stressed out or

very depressed. What was stressing and depressing me was all

these " so called " doctors who gladly accepted my insurance payments

but offered me nothing more in return. I truly believed that I was

losing my mind for a few years there and that can really wear you

down. I am on a track now that seems to be much more appropriate,

but I still do not understand all do' and don'ts of Fibro.

Would some of you share how you feel on most days and just are the

symptoms? I would be so appreciative to all of you. I am trying to

learn as much about this as I can, because I truly believe the more

that I know, the more I can fight it.

Thanks to you all for letting me share.

Jim
