I am new here and thought the support may be helpful at this point so here it goes. A little background, I was diagnosed in 97 after the birth of my second child. I was in so much general pain I could barely get off the couch, unlike me. Prior and even again after diagnosis I was a 24/7 go person, typical type A personality-wanted to be the best, helped everyone, gave 110%, never said no, until October 2008 when my body shut me down. I awoke at 3:15 to complete blackness and my left side of my body useless. Stroke? Nope. MS? Nope. Lyme? Nope. Lupus? Nope....the list goes on. 12 specialist and doctor's later still Fibro. I am now disabled but my sight loss was only momentary. My left side is still greatly affected but I have good days and bad like everyone else. My memory is my biggest loss, but I have an amazing spouse, 3 awesome children-2 all grown up, 1 at home who is almost 11, 2 great dogs and 2 cats, and I am breathing- Life is good! Look forward to getting to talk to you all.
