Close Fibromyalgia

I was diagnosed with FM nine years ago. I had a high profile position in Higher Education, I was married (still!) with 2 grown sons. My life changed over night. Beside dealing with all the painful components of FM...I seemed to spend most of my time defending myself. FM was not respected or accepted and neither was I. I have spent the last nine years....working diligently on emotional and physical issues. I refused to be a victim. It's been really hard work,and I am proud of myself.
