New and confused...

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone!

My name is and I've had fibro for about ten years and possibly longer

than that. I am a 38 yo artist living in Washington state with my wonderfully

supportive boyfriend. I'm looking forward to being a part of this group but I

will admit I feel intimidated by the intro letters and such..warnings such as

" do not just leave us!! "

I'm always nervous in new situations and I'm sure once I see how things go in

here I won't be so scared LOL

I am also confused with some of the messages I've received so far...such as

the files sent..if that is the right word...there is nothing in them to click on

and open, nothing happens when I try to get to the information so I've just been

deleting them.

This past year has been pretty lousy for me healthwise...Prognosis for the

fibro? Don't have one. Prognosis for my diabetes is poor and have been told if

things don't greatly improve I may die in two or three years. As we all know the

pain we feel makes it hard to do things such as housework, let alone intentional

exercise!

I am also diagnosed with CFIDS, arthritis, facet arthropathy, migraines, sleep

apnea, high blood pressure and cholesterol.

I try to keep busy with pen pals, reading, movies, chatting online, taking

care of my pets, visiting my parents and shopping.

Please feel free to ask me anything, especially if I " m not making sense!

Looking forward to being here,

G

Hi . It sounds like you are in a lot of pain between the FM,

migraines, facet arthropathy (which I had to look up to know what it was)

and plain ol’ arthur keeping you down. I’m sure that it must be overwhelming

at times. Are you still able to do much of your art? Does it or did it help

keep your mind off the pain?

I really hope that you won’t feel intimidated here. We all have bad days and

good days. Unfortunately FM doesn’t wait around the a convenient time to

knock us down.

I’m glad that you found your way to the group.
