So, I have been reading a book called “Fibromyalgia: a comprehensive approach” by: Miryam Ehrlich Williamson it states: "Primary FM shows up early in life, with signs and symptoms emerging as early as four or five years of age. Children with primary FM usually complain of random pains and aching legs. …such complains often dismissed as “growing pains” should not be ignored".

My good friend Alisha popped to mind when I read this, her son has had "growing pains quit severely for some time now, so I called her up and told her about it, and later she sent me this site:

So I thought I would post it here because of how unknown it is in general! And thought I would do my part in spreading awareness!

If anyone is interested in how my FM (Fibromyalgia) is doing, its ok. I have good days, bad days, and REALLY bad days! hehe
I have found that if I sit down for a while to relax that I am suddenly overtaken with tiredness that completely over takes me! I feel incapable of doing anything, even keeping my eyes open is a struggle! Yesterday was Terrible as far as fatigue goes! So I got to bed early, and woke a bit early too.
(sleeping was not so pleasant last night, its never great, I always hurt, but last night more so then lately)
Then I took my girls for a walk at 7:30 am. We got home and I started “keeping moving”. Doing dishes, laundry, other misc cleaning. Then I sat down for a little while to read the book I mentioned at the start of this blog, and I felt that fatigue start hitting me. So I JUMPED up and ran downstairs, did more laundry and then just haven’t sat down for more then a few minutes since.

So I am learning what I need to do as far as keeping that in check. Exersize, I have found, helps my pain level as well, so I have several reasons to keep physically active!

Thanks to EVERYONE for being such a HUGE support to me through all this! Its wonderful to get a call during the day, and an encouraging word! You are all wonderful
Thanks!
