Hi Everyone! Just Wanted to introduce myself properly. I am 26, turning 27 on the 31st. I am married, I work full time as a purchasing assistant and am taking night classes about logistics at night. I stumbled across this site when my ears buzzed..hence "buzz girl". My real name is Martha. I am the type of person who always ends up doing more than she can handle. The fibro symptoms come and go. Sometimes they are at their worst and I have migraines, pain, anxiety...all at once. Other times its just a lot of fatigue. One Saturday I remember waking up at 9am (after 10 hrs of sleep) and then sleeping again from noon to 5 pm. I am very hard working and my family has always expected the best from me so to admit to having any type of illness or disease is seen like a weakness in my family. Or an exaggeration. Nonetheless, I plan on becoming better informed through various resources (this site, a doctor, and the book "the Fibromyalgia Advocate" which i just got in the mail). I don't like to take pills and will probably bear it and take advil with a lot of Ben-gay when worse comes to worse. But I hope to find ways to improve this with diet change and some exercise. Finally, I want to thank everyone here for sharing their stories and themselves as it is always great to be able to talk to someone who knows what you've been through. Also, a thank you to the two people who hugged me! You guys are so sweet!! I look forward to getting to know everyone better.  -Martha |
