Let’s get started!

When I was first diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, it was suggested to me that I get in touch with support groups (there are plenty online on social media sites). I’ll admit I was feeling very sorry for myself and thinking this was my life… sat on the sofa not able to carry out more than one task a day.. ‘should I shower or load the dishwasher today’ are an example of the things I had to choose between. I was unable to brush my own hair and could barely keep my eyes open for more than five minutes, not to mention the constant pain, aching and horrendous headaches. So I visited the support groups; I was on there for a short while and just found everyone in the same boat, feeling sorry for them self. Some had been in a similar state for plus fifteen years… then I thought there is no way I’m going to still be sat here in fifteen years watching my life fly by. All of this while my son had been diagnosed not long before with severe ADHD.. you can imagine the fun I’ve had!
