Hey Marriane,

Welcome to the group. Glad you found it too!!!

Girl, to be so young and have to deal with all that, I am soooo sorry. And as

for the friends that don't understand....well, they aren't true friends or maybe

they just have no concept whatsoever. Slowly, but surely I'm learning this

lesson myself. I know how much it hurts when they don't understand though...it

has caused me a great deal of emotional pain.

I always felt like I was giving excuses too but finally realized that explaining

how you feel is NOT an excuse. Compassionate people would say " I'm sorry your

are feeling badly, is there anything I can do? " Selfish people will say " well,

that sucks, so you can't go with me? " . Sound familiar?

I have to go right now, but just wanted to welcome you and say hello. BTW, I'm

35 and married and have a 4 yr. old. I have Fibro, cysts in shoulders, DDD,

arthritis in back,ankle, leg and knees, as well as 4 protruding discs in my back

that cause chronic pain. I have constant muscle spasms in my left shoulder and

trap muscle. Just to name a few of my aches and pains. LOL!!

Take care,

Caitlin
