    • About Me

      i am a 43 y/o christian woman that has had fibro for 4 years, i am on disability, i also have high blood pressure osteoarthritis, agoraphobia, panic disorder, severe anxiety disorder, and major depression. i am married to a wonderful man who is understanding, i have 4 children one who is 22 who lives out of the home, and a 19 year son who is here and in college, and 17 year old girl, and a 6 year old baby girl, my family is so important to me, and that is why i hate fibro so bad, i used to be a full time rn, working in home health, i loved it and then maintained my home, i loved to cook and sew and quilt , crochet, and take care of my family, and now i can barely take care of myself, and my personal needs, it was a shock to my family and me, and my family is understanding, the only one having problems accepting the changes is me, i always do too much when i feel a little bit good, and then i have to pay for it, looks like after 4 years i would be used to it my now, but i usually feel is quilt, i hope that i will be better in accepting it without letting it stop me completley, i need this site to talk to others who understand, because i don't care how much people think they understand, unless they have it, they can't understand it, it is like i have lost myself and don't even know who i am anymore, but we all have to stick together to make it,

    • Prayer

      From pilgrimVon Saturday

      Sending up a prayer for you Ruby, I know you can do this if you want.. another idea is join the addiction to nicotine group on here or the smoking group... can't remember what it is called. go online often on chat and talk to people, keep your hands busy, take up your sewing again. just keep your hands busy and mind on other things... it will work
      i have left a comment on your journal of the 17th.; hugs

    • Good Luck

      I will be praying for you to quit smoking. I quit several years ago!! My advise is to NEVER stop quitting and not let the enemy tell you differently!!
