LOUP
i am loup
I am 36 and I have had Fibromyalgia for over 7 years now. Diagnosed 4.5 years ago. With it comes a lot of other useless bits and baubles I could do without.
I don't act my age, some days I don't even look sick. So what is a girl to do.
Fibro takes every ounce of energy you use on a Monday and doesn't give you any back even after a week of rest. I have been doing just about nothing for a week and I am still worn out from the travel and the rally.
(Jumping on stage with the PianoMan did me in I think.)
Anyhow - just wondered if there were any others here that also had Fibro, CFS, or any of the other "invisible illnesses".
Also - not a vet myself but Daddy was Marine in Viet Nam, Army (Ret 1SG) and hubby (Linuxkidd) was 6 years in the USN on a Fast Attack Submarine ... he was almost never home. We BOTH earned our dolphins!!
My Uncle John was post Korean War Seabee, my uncles Ron, George, and Tommy were Viet Nam vets (2 Marine, 1 Army). My great-Uncle Jim was POW in WW2. My grandfather was pre-WW2 USAF vet and there is even a Coast Guard vet in there too -- but I won't mention him by name. Might embarass the little fella. = )
