Yes I am new here.I am alone.I have a son 17yrs old autistic and a daughter 4yrs old... full of life.I have a husband 18 yrs now.
I love them and they love me.Yet I am alone.My thoughts,pain and frustration
of Fibromyalgia is taking its toll on me!
Spinal arthritis also pains me,herniated disks...nerve compression etc....
I could go on.Yet it would not prove a point.Except to convey my misery.

Yrs of frustration and knowing "something" was not right .I plugged along pushing myself.I had to be responsible.High Expectations were expected.
I played the part as long as I could.Then I just gave into "me"!
"ME" the real ME..who I am...how I feel. Accepting my situation,my limitations without guilt.
After almost 4yrs of neuros,neurosurgeons orthopedic drs....
2 yrs evaluated at a M.S clinic...
More back drs....
Finally a Rheumy...intelligent to see the obivious.Fibro and arthritis of the spine..knees etc...

I am not alone...at least I hope. Izzy
