My Ribbon

	Purple Ribbon	04/21/2008	I wear this ribbon as a sign of support to myself and others who have put up with non-believers and those who've told you your pain isn't real.

Hi Fibrogirly, Read my bio on Irish 13. I would be happy to talk to you about my experiences. Started when I had my 2nd child at 36 and now I'm 53. Have been down just about every road there is. Write me back.

Hi Fibrogirly thanks for the hug. I go about my busy days by drawing support from my kids. I carry a picture of them around with me and always tell myself I have to take care of them and be a good role model. My oldest son is 7 and I just did a charity event which exhausted me by the way, but I was telling him that charity is good for your soul and he said that I must have a very good soul since I always do for others, even when I'm sick. It made me cry but made me gain strength to keep going and set a good example for them. Sometimes I just get angry and get a case of the why me's :) that will give me that extra push as well. You can do this, you have been doing this, don't let it take over your life. Take care, lean on me whenever you need too.
