Hello Everyone

[Guest guest]

I am new here, so I thought I'd just pop in and introduce myself.

I am an almost 40, happily married wife and a Mother to 2 of the

most awesome kids a parent could hope for. Both Daughters. I love

to brag about them, so just tell me to knock it off if I go on to

long, I promise not to be offended.

My husband is my best friend and the best support system I could

ever hope for. If it weren't for the Fibromyalgia, I wouldn't have

anything to complain about ever.

I am determined not to let this monster affect me as deeply as it

trys to do. I still hold a full time job (this is where the awesome

hubby comes in.)Husband knows how important working is to me and my

positive attitude about the Fibromyalgia, so he takes care of the

housework so that I can save all my energy to go to work.

I have a great job, I work for Walmart. They have also been a

tremendous blessing, I have worked there almost 3 years, about 6

months after I started there I was finally diagnosed with the

Monster. in those 3 years, my store manager has helped me change

jobs 3 times to adjust what I am able to do so that I can continue

working.

Since I have been diagnosed, I have done so much research and found

out that I have quite possibly had Fibromyalgia since I was 13-14,

that's when the symptoms started showing up that no one ever knew

what to do with.

I was relieved to finally have a diagnosis, people were starting to

make me believe I really was imaging all of this pain.

I hope to make many new friends in here, and maybe even pass along

some of my " upbeat " attitude. It really helps to get through the

days.

Have a Pain Free Day and thanks for having me.

Penny
