I have responded to you as well as others have..

Everyone with Fibro handles it diffrently.. REGAURDLESS of our age..

Just because I am older than you does not mean I do not understand what you are going through..

I was a very attractive. very active 31 yr old with a great job great income so on and so on.. Now I am 36 can hardly get out of bed. I no longer fix my hair put on make up so on and so on..

I know there is others here that go to school raise family's ect.

I still try and stay as active as I can especialy in the spring.. I love to garden..I have learned to pace my self..

If you want to talk I would be happy to talk to you.. I am not as young as you.. But I still know the challenges you are facing.. we all do..

Take Care

Well I didn't respond because 1) I'm not young, I'm 40 and 2) I don't

fit your definition of active. My being " active " consists of working a

full time job, working a part time job one weekend a month (helping a

friend with her catering business), taking care of a home and the

yard, raising two kids, being a girl scout leader and participating in

the band booster club. I hope you do manage to find some people your

age to correspond with though.
