About Me

I am 19 years old, married, with a 2 1/2 year old son.  I am currently dealing with quite a few problems.  I have been experiencing unexpected weight gain for the past 2 years.  I have gone form 130lbs to 200lbs.  It just doesn't seem to stay the same.  I had my gallbladder removed about a year ago and just recently came off my depo, thinking it was the reason for my weight gain.  NO!!  The doctors have given up on me and no where to turn.  I don't know what else to do.  So, I was just recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia at age 19!!  I have terrible inflammations in my joints.  I was recently diagnosed with SLE Lupus.  I really don't know much about it yet and am willing to hear anything from those who have experience.   I'm just trying to look for some answers that I am not getting from my doctors.  I will be graduating from Utica School of Commerce in May with my Associates Degree in Administration.

Fibro and Lupus

I was just wondering if there is any one out there that suffers from Firbomyalgia and SLE Lupus.  I am a 19 year old mother and was recently diagnosed with Lupus.  I am finishing up my final semester in college.  I had been recently working on a project for the Student Association which involved typing (which I absolutly love to do)  and about an hour into the project, I was dying.  It got me wondering......

Lilangelmama, I hope you are feeling well today. I said a prayer for you as I know wiht all the snow and weather changes It makes our fibromyalgia to peak in pain levels.  It will be fun spending Christmas with a 2 yr old.  I know when we are with children somehow we find the strength we need. I spent a couple of days wiht only grandbaby who is now 6 months old. i could tell me muscles were seemingly weak htat day it was hard to just hold him for a short time. It is frustrating, I love him so much. I think he was sensing something was not quite right, Have A Merry Christmas you and your family, Enjoy the little ones they grow up way to fast,

Hope you do find a doctor that will listen and care about you. There must be other doctors in your area that will listen. Hope you gradiate and get your Master's Degree in Administration. Sounds like you need to see a pain management doctor. Don't buy that line of bull that they say "you're too young to be hurting like thatl". that's what I think it is a line of bull! I have several working on me that do care! Let me know. Kathy

Sorry to hear you have Fibromyalgia at such a young age. I really wish the reasearchers could find a cause

for this devasting disease. I was told by one Doctor that people with enourmous amounts of stress that is on going for a long time seems to be the patients they see most often with this diagnosis. But I am like you only older. And yes, sometimes I forget the everyday simplest things. I also have hypothyroid (It causes memory loss, weight gain, dry skin, and hair falling out, If it is not kept regulated. This is another common factor I have found in  people with Fibromyalgia they also have a thyroid disorder, I  encourage to have yours checked soon. About hte sleep study, I haven't had an opportunity to do this. I work, to keep insurance, since my husband died at the age of 43, (I was only 37 at the time) I have to make myself get out of bed every morning. I haven't gotten up the nerve to go to the DR. again,or can I afford the many Dr. appointments. I have to give myself a pep talk to just get through another day, Sometimes it feels like I only can get through the day with hopes the next day will have to be better, To know you have Fibro.. with a active 2 yr old is scarry but a challenge for you. It is hard to deal with and I can't imagine doing it with a 2 yr. old.  I take b12 or a b complex vitamin for energy and it is working.  Stay in touch,  What state do you live in?
