Young or active fibromite

[Guest guest]

I am hoping to get in touch with a young and/or active fibromite. I

do feel very welcomed here, but I have trouble relating to many of

the issues, like kids, spouse or having a career. I got fibro last

year, my senior year in high school. I tried to go to college, but I

am now home on medical leave because the fibro is so bad. I am a

dependent on my parents and have no clue how I am going to create

sustainable independence (go to college, get a career, actually get

hired somewhere, and pay all the doctor's bills on top of that) with

this dang-blasted fibro. I noticed in the member profiles there were

quite a few 21-28 year olds, so I was hoping one of them might want

to talk.

I also read that there have been people with fibro who are marathon

runners and still active - they just have to be really careful. I

have always been active (triathlete) and I want to find out how I

might manage the fibro, and still be active. Right now I am getting

injuries up the wazzo and I feel so awful I have to force myself to

workout everyday, just to losen my muscle spasms and give me a

little energy (then I go home and sleep).

Thanks,

Kim
