Hi, This is my first post

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am Deborah, I am 48 and I have had FMS since 1994, the first

time I was diagniosed with FMS. Since then as the disease has

progressed...Ibs, oh that is FMS...Chronic headaches, oh thats

FMS...Don't go into the deepest part of Sleep thats FMS. So I have

been diagniosed and re-diagiosed many times with FMS. I like others

was maintaining pretty good on vitamins and natural remedies till I

got a staff infection after a surgery. It lasted seven months and as

it progressed so did my Fibro. Went from full-time work to part-time

to homebody. I have been getting better over the last two years with

some drug cocktails. I like others was diagniosed with bi-polar two

years ago, but have been real lucky, the drugs have intermeshed. I

have a dream team of doctors, good insurance as well as VA benefits

and a supportive husband. I realize how blessed I am, others have had

it so hard. Even during my 3 month slug period when I could only lay

around with pillows tucked every where to ease the pressure, I was

cared for by my family. But what I don't have now is contact with the

outside world, I am feeling social but not going back out there and

work with all that stress. I hope I can meet others this way (now

that I have high speed internet,LOL) and learn and give support as

well as recieve. Nice to meet you all, Deborah
