Guest guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I agree that we are not fibro, but we have fibro which is a monster that is bigger than all of us. I'm trying to live with fibro in my life. It has taken so much from me, but at the same time as morphed me into someone else. someone different. I can't go out like I used to and my former friends don't get it, so I've decided to " give back " . Since I'm homebound a lot, I make afghans for babies and give them to my health center for babies and moms who are needy. Having fibro has totally changed my outlook on life. instead of taking, I give. So many people have given to me and I feel the need to do it for others. I had lost my sense of purpose when I lost my job and was told that I might not ever be able to work again. You are right, I AM NOT fibro, but it lives with me and makes it's presence known.

I know I went thru that period where I was convinced that if I was suppose to live like this for the rest of my life, what was the point. Today I don't feel that way, at least it is rare. I have said this before, I am not Fibro, I have a disease called Fibro and I will not let it totally win over my life. It does dictate my life unfortunately but that is just the way it is. Remeber, tomorrow is another day and we might feel better, you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
