Fibromyalgia shouldn't have to stop you from achieving your goals. What do you wish to achieve, despite your disease?
Yes, it did stop me from doing a lot of things. I couldn't work because of all the time I missed feeling so bad. One good thing now is people with Fibro are entitled to a 'Disability Cheque'. Thank God, and now you can look ahead, instead of looking back. Get your own place and live.
