thanks so much to all that have wished me a warm welcome. i havent felt this welcomed since when i first started police work which was 1999. unfortunately due to fibro unable to keep the career i worked so hard to earn. i was diagnosed back in jan 2005. and finally realized i wasnt strong enough anymore nor had enough energy to continue it after 5 years. i was devastated and it took me quite a long time to talk about the fibromyalgia. 3 years later i'm no longer embarassed to discuss it and have moved on to work w/ mental hrealth clients which is more relaxed so to say. anyhow my poor husband proposed to me a month before i got sick not realizing that i was going to have a chronic illness. poor guy has been put through hell w/ me. it took him quite some time and realizes how fibro effects my daily living. he has been wonderful. along w/ the fibro i have ibs,tmj,overactive bladder,interstitial cystitis,esophogytis and day to day pain that changes spots. i am so glad to be in this forum. i look forward to learning new info and talking to those who underdstand.my rhematologist had reccomended finding a support froup to find out about others w/ fibro.

Hi Dee, It's so important to have a place where we can be understood. Because no one will understand...how could they? I'm the one feeling crappy and I'm not so sure I understand!!
