Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 HI ! Im glad you shared your story. Sounds like you have been through it all. Its amazing how much hearing that we have a chronic condition can throw us for a loop. Sounds to me like you have made a healthy adjustment though. You havent given up ! It was wonderful to hear from you. deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hi & welcome to the group. This is a great group & we are here for you. We all have to get our support somewhere & there's no better place than with a "group family" that shares the same problems. Hugs, -- Hello new friends Hi my name is and I have had Fibro for about 15 years....I have pretty much lost my entire family and many friends over it...I have just only in the last few years learned to live with the illness with a little more grace. Before it had just completely taken over my mind and my body...I had given up for sure...In and out of different meds, doctors, You know the whole ( "it in your head thing ") The stress had overtaken any normal thinking I could try to come up with....It was bad but I don't even have to say that here I am sure as you ALL know what I am talking about....My family pretty much disowned me because I was just a lazy winey person...I bet a few of you have heard that before!!!Anyway today I live alone in a one bedroom apt. I have few friends as I don't get out much..I do not at this time get any disablity and only pay my bills be a few houses that I clean. I get by its tight alot of the times, but I am just thankful to GOd that I can do as much as I can..I said earller that I lived with the fibro with more grace now...I just mean I guess I have eccepted it more, realized that it is not going anywhere so at some point I needed to figure out how to live a more happier life...It first took finding the right doctor, and meds. although I have to say I am on less meds now then I used to be and seem to be doing better...I also have therpy now ( from childhood issues ) but still find the stress has lifted so much....I have a few close friends on the net that makes me smiles daily and well today is just another day and trying to push through....I am not use to being able to share my pain, stress, fatigue, etc as I was known for so long as the winer in the family, so I have learned to be quite, and try to act as normal as possiable....I have never been with a support group although I have thought it would be good. So here I am .....I look forward to finding out just what you do here....I just blogged on fibro a couple of days ago and the friends I have never had any idea what we live with each and everyday...They where truly thankful for my entry on fibro...If anyone is on 360 and would like to join my list you are so welcome.......Well until next time....P.S. Please forgive the typeo's and the spelling...between the brain fog and the blonde I don't have a chance....hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
