I'm a mom and my kids were 2 & 4 when I got sick: Now they are 10 & 12. They do not know the "real" me. They don't remember how I was. I had to stop carrying my two year old around back then and that is hard for a baby girl. I could no longer hold her. I am sad that the mom they got is this sick lady. I try really hard not to show that I am sick and I think I've done a pretty good job at that, really. BUT, I am not the mom I wanted to be and that makes me sad.
I am hopeful that there will be a cure for fibromyalgia. I hope it everyday. Hope is what keeps me going. It's too weird that so many people are sick with this and so very sad that young people are also being diagnosed. I am a strong believer that our food chain is responsible and I eat as healthy as possible, though it is very expensive. I take no drugs and manage my symptoms through diet. No GMOs, no gluten, no dairy, all organic. It doesn't seem right that in order to get healthy food you have to try so hard.
I have done incredible amounts of research and the best thing that I can share today is that gluten is a problem, and a healthy gut is a must. Without healing your gut, you will heal nothing, so start there.
I have so much locked inside me about this illness and I am here to get it off my chest. The biggest being my sadness over my kids getting a sick mom. It would be good for me to come back and share some more.
Thanks for listening and for this site!
