How I Fought My Illness
Quote From: bison89erI have been battling fibro for 8 years. Right now I'm in the middle of a major flare up and am more problems than ever before. I am having an CT on Thursday as doctors can't figure out why the legs in my left leg are acting so strangely. Living in Georgia has really been tough on these muscles the last three years. I have three boys to keep up with and a part time job. Hubby just lost his job on Wednesday and we are facing a cross country move. It's a situation I would rather not be in right now. My biggest adjustment besides the pain and all the meds was learning to say NO. I was one who did everything for everybody. I had to learn the house didn't have to be spotless and that some things could wait. I would love to hear details on how you are overcoming this disease that is so difficult to explain to anyone who hasn't lived it.
God bless each of you and praying strength to get through today! I am 42 y.o. and have fibromyalgia, arthritis, Crohn's disease, an ileostomy, 3 herniated discs in back, and much more. My 22 y.o. daughter recently found out she also h as fibromyalgia and is really suffering. Thank God her husband is in the Air Force, she has excellent insurance! Unfortunately, I can only work every other weekend, (I'm a nurse), so I have no insurance and little money. I applied for disability, and my hearing will be in another YEAR!!! Pray for me, please!
