Hi

Thats interesting my Gran was diagnosed with Fibrositis in 1950s and

my Aunt had FMS. My Gran might have had dyspraxia, my aunt didn't,

but she was a little hyperactive (at nearly 60). I'm 24. Dyspraxia

and ADD have a lot in common with FMS.

Trust me on this one life is dull!! Its not bad besides that. I

don't work and my course is a correspondance. In the UK we have The

Open University which is great, you get lots of support. You have a

local tutor.

I'm lucky I've still got mum looking after me. Although I moved out

of home for the second time last August.

Thats me for now, what about you and your daughters?

So you are in the UK. My daughters are Amber (15) in grade 10 with 2 more

years

in high school, manages to be on the honor roll despite lots

of absences due to FM. Next is Amy (20) in college taking Entertainment

Admin

and also getting honors, she has chronic headaches but just keeps pushing

on, she and her boyfriend Adam, share an apt. about 1 1/2 hours drive from

us.

The moderator of this list and our oldest daughter is (22) who is

married

to and they have a dog named Bear. My very own grand-dog .LOL

took journalism in school but unfortunately has not been able to

work in that field yet. She has both FM and CFS as well as a fainting

disorder which

took three years to get a diagnosis. But if you want to talk to someone

with a zest for life, it is . She also lives in the same area as her

sister. We are a very

close family and spend almost every weekend together. Oh, yes how can I

forget their Dad is Bruce and he is both a truck driver and a professional

clown.

Yes, you read that right.LOL We are doing a three day show this weekend so

I am trying to get everything organized. We will do animal balloons for the

kids and

Amber does face painting as a part time job.

It looks like there is a genetic link with your family as well as ours, my

two sisters

have it. That makes three in my generation and three in the next

generation. Yet

medical community are still deciding if there is a genetic link. I have no

doubt, do you ?

Better go and do my clown asst. duties or I might be fired.LOL Can you get

fired from a non-paying job ????????

Hugs

to you
