Re: I'm new here Jeanne

[Guest guest]

I do know that lack of sleep now is affecting me As for stress..let's see

having a child with Down syndrome AND autism, having her dad leave me with both

kids 7 years ago, putting myself through college as a single parent, trying to

fit in therapies for daughter, activities for both kids, plus work fulltime

plus. I'm thinking that might be the part where stress comes in!!

If I only had family near or had someone to help out on " those " days, I truly

think it would help.

After reading a few of the posts, it seems like I might have a lot milder

symptoms?? Or is this more or less a progressive thing? I'm terrified that it

will get worse...

Hi Sue,

Some say fibro isn't a progressive disease. I'm not sure about that. From what

I've heard on this list it seems like some do get worse. Remember, everyone is

different so don't despair!!! You are a hero in my book, and I sure hope your

fibro doesn't get any worse.

Hugs,

Oh pooh pooh to that idea. I so KNOW it is a progressive disease. I am much

worse today than I was 5 years ago. I hurt more and for longer periods of time.

BUT that said - I think I had it for many years before it got much worse if that

makes sense?

hugs
