I feel in control now...not my fibro

Since fibro has taken over my life over a year ago, today I did something and I feel I control of my life.

Tonight I got a butterfly tattoo, my first( the symbol of the fibromyalgia association) on my wrist, and for the first time I feel like I am in control. It was very exciting and freeing!

If this is my life from now on, it will be on MY terms :)

I will post a pic on my page in a few days as soon as it is healed, and to the stage it will be.

Thank you Trish and Eleanor. I am so glad I did it. My hubby thinks it was stupid, but he doesn't understand why I did it, and heck, I am not going to take the time to explain it to him LOL I hope you do it Renie! I have always thought of getting one, but I neve knew what to get and I agreed with my friends that you shouldn't get one unless it means something to you..and oh boy fibro means something to me and is here to stay LOL
