I am the mom of three wonderful kids. One is a teen-aged daughter, and my two sons are autistic. I have had fibromyalgia for about five years, but I finally was diagnosed about two years ago. I have declined at a rapid pace, and I finally had to stop working at a job that I really loved with a boss that was kind enough to educate herself on my condition and try to accommodate my needs. Unfortunately, it became too much. The daily pain is horrible, and I have to be so careful with medications to avoid dependency and addiction. I try a lot of diet and holistic treatments, but I have faced the fact that I will deal with this for the rest of my life. I am currently filing for disability, but I know the issues that are commonly faced during that process, so I am also researching programs that will help me to keep the family home. I hate to think of accepting charity, but I know that if I were in a position to give, I would gladly do so. I pray for everyone who is need, right now, and I hope that we are all able to help each other find the assistance that will be best for us. May you all be blessed!
