Hello, everyone. I am Marie. I'm 27 years old, and a single mother of a 5 year old girl, and 12 month old boy/girl twins. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2003, but had symptoms since 1997. I also have chronic fatigue. It's rough and most days (especially during the winter) I just want to scream...but thank the Lord for these kids being in my life, because they force me to realize there is a hope, and a chance of happiness even through the agonizing pain. I accept the disorder finally...took me years! And now I fight the fight and won't let up. I went to the rheumatologist 2 weeks ago and they diagnosed me with 14-15/18 tender points inflamed. I am like a 90 year old woman when I first get out of bed in the mornings...stumbling around, and dropping things, as though I don't know where my hands are! (*giggle*). It is so hard to not be able to just be a normal 27 year old, jump out of bed, feed the kids, shower, and get going. I have to take my tramadol, make a coffee, and sit down, worried I may drop a child if I try to attempt to do a diaper change, feed them, etc....so I patiently sit and wait for the medicine to kick in before attempting to be super mom. Other than those things, I guess my life is really good. I make the most out of everything...I guess I sort of have to with this battle... Well, what about all of you? If you made it this far through my biography, please tell me about yourselves. It is really nice to meet you and I am glad to be part of a group that focuses on Fibromyalgia. (((((((((((((((HUGE HUGS))))))))))))) Post edited by: MarieJune, at: 02/17/2008 10:20 |
"MDJunction to me has been the helping friends of understanding that I have needed. I feel now as if someone else it the world understands the things that I am going through. I feel less alone and happier. Here I can let out all my emotions and get support from many people who have been in similar situations. It really has been a life saver for me!" (Amanda78)
