My names Kara, I'm a woman in my early 20's living with fibromialgia, ibs, a bleeding disorder, and other occassional issues.
A lot of the accounts of people with fibro are scary. I remember sitting at my computer one day and reading post after post on a medical site all of them simarly sounding like what a lot of people think country songs are like: "my spouse left me, my kids hate me, my dog died, and I haven't gotten out of bed in a week." almost all of them said "this disease ruined my life."
I don't plan on letting it ruin my life, and I have a very supportive family to help me. Along with them, I have several doctors I see regurally. More so now that my combination of ailments has currently made me disabled. I miss work so much, and I hope to go back soon.
I also hope to be a sorce of hope and though fibro and ibs are hard to deal with, there are things in this world worth fighting for- even if you can see them sometimes.
Hooray upbeat posting! Good luck... also, good luck spelling "regularly" right someday... I totally believe in you! You already do a whole lot to try and not let this disease get you down and medical advancements are being made daily. Don't let yourself get too down, if possible. *HUGS*
