Hello,
My name is Kasey, diagnosed with FM last year after my immune system started attacking my body after a virus and I almost died. I have been having a very hard time dealing with it as I was a very active mom with two daughters, I was training for a marathon when this happened and now I have trouble with daily functions. I am grateful for the things that I can do though. Initially I was on a lot of meds, finally got off all meds and trying to do this without them. The meds made me so zombie like and made my fibrofog so much worse. I have been wanting to join a support group but the only one near me meets at 10 am, I am still trying to work so I can't make that one. I am hoping that this forum helps me come to terms with my illness. Thankfully I have a Dr. that is very aware of fibromyalgia and is supportive but he says I am being a difficult patient because I am not following his plan, he always wants to give me meds but is understanding that I don't want to take them, he just doesn't have much other options for me that I haven't already tried. He always tells me to manage my stress, but that is not easy. Thank you for having this forum and allowing me to rant, I hope to meet others with FM so that we can embark on a healing journey together. I am in a flare now which seems to be happening more and more frequently.
