A little about me: I am 35 years old, been married for 16 yrs to an over the road truck driver. I have 2 teenagers, my son is 15 and my daughter is 14. I was diagnosed with fibro August 22, 2006. This has been the longest 14 months of my life. I had to quit working and after 4 months of not working after working since I was 15, i started back to school and now i only have 6 months left until i graduate from college.
My family is having a hard time accepting the fibro and how it affects me, some family members say I am lazy and just dont want to work anymore. I think my hubby thinks the same thing but he doesnt say it to my face.
I would just life to find a group of women to talk to and that knows what i am going through with this painful disease.

Wow!! I am so inspired by you. I don't know how you are making it through college. I am glad I made it through college before all of this fibro. fun hit! How could anyone think you are lazy? Go GIRL!! Unfortunately, others can't see what we go through, therefore it seems unreal to them. But we all know how you feel!! You are not alone! I'm new here and already feel welcome. I also lived in Ohio when I was growing up. Some of my family still live there in Medina. Hope you are having a good day!!

My Diary
Diary Description: Doctor's appointment today.
My doctor says he thinks i am depressed so he started me on Cymbalta 30 mg for 14 days then 60 mg after that. I asked him about filing for disability and he said he doesnt know yet if i am disabled, he said it is hard to get it on fibro which i already knew but he said he would not discourage me from filing but he recommends i file on depression and bipolar instead of fibro.
He says he doesnt think there is diabetes but he says i look like i have polycystic ovarian syndrome and i said oh no i had a hysterectomy, he said thats ok you can still have PCOS. (That i did not know).
He told me i can be treated, there may be no cure for depression, bipolar and fibro but he thinks i can be treated.
I go back to see him in 2 weeks.
