I'm 21. I was diagnosed formally four years ago, though I've had symptoms for about nine. I am so glad I finally have a name to what I deal with- and know people are dealing successfully with the same things. I always try to remember my blessings and hang out with friends and family who "understand" (can you if you don't have fibro.? I'm not sure). They are the only ones who help me keep me going sometimes. So Yay for support!
