Hi everyone!! I havent been here in quite awhile, just wanted to drop in and update everyone. I guess you could say its been a bad couple of months. I do have my good days, but they just dont come frequent enough. I work as a 911 dispatcher and I work 12 hour shifts, which is prety hard for me sometimes. I love my job more then anything and I would never want to give it up, but it's hard knowing that my off days are used for recovery time. Im usuallly so tired and out of it on those days off, that I end up staying in bed and getting nothing accomplished, which is the worst feeling. Its hard for me to even get the energy up to get to the grocery store. Guess Ive been feeling down in dumps, and sad lately. I miss just getting up and going where I need to go. I miss spending time with my friends. I know I should take it one day at a time, but thats been hard for me to do. Anyway, I'm alive and well ( if you can say that LOL) and I'll be on more frequently now. Hope you all are well, and just know, you all have a friend here in Michigan!!!

Hi Carri, I don't know how you do it either. I can't sit for very long before I have to get up and change positions. God Bless. I take my hat off to you. Just try to do what you can and let the rest go. Working 12 hour shifts would be hard on a healthy person let alone a person with Fibro.

Soft & gentle hugs to you.
