Fibromyalgia and A Truckload of Other Illnesses

Quite a few years ago, before Fibro was even remotely accepted or understood as a disease, I was beginning to have symptoms that were interrupting life in a major way.  It was a long, hard road to find out why there were pains that traveled from one spot to another.  It didn't help to have various other illnesses poke their little heads into the picture just for good measure.  It has been my experience that having one illness is just not something that is common among people.  What amazes me is how many illnesses or diseases one person can have and still function in a normal society.  I have a list of things that have caused some major problems over the years and, yes, I do have my moments when I simply cannot stand one more minute.  But in talking to others, I am constantly reminded that things could be worse.

This site has already helped me in so many ways.  As I read through the various posts and blogs, I find my heart overwhelmed by love and compassion for all of you who are experiencing so much pain and discomfort in your lives.  It is an inspiration to me to keep going and be thankful that I have been so blessed.  Thank you for the courage and inspiration you have shown to me.  You never know whose life you will touch or in what way you will affect that life for good.  So many of you have touched my life positively, even in the short time since I found Disaboom.  And I am very thankful for having found Disaboom.  I can already see that it is going to be a great help.  Thank you, again.                               pzldone
