So I’ve managed to mix up my various sites meaning this post is out of order, it was supposed to be my first post.

A little bit about me, I’ve been living with fibromyalgia for about ten years now, with all of the ups and downs that comes with. I have definitely had my moments of frustration when I couldn’t do something I was able to do easily before fibro. I remember feeling ecstatic that I did something and then felt pathetic because I remember being able to do so much more.

In addition to fibro I’ve been living with PCOS all of my adult life. The weight gain, and the inability to lose it has had me crying into my pillow, my partner’s shoulder and my dogs more times then I care to count. I keep thinking that I want to be healthy, but what’s the point if I can’t lose the weight to be healthy.

Last and certainly not least, I’ve been living with PTSD for about ten years. The flashbacks, the sudden emotional swings and not knowing why are real for me.

My hope with this blog is to give inspiration, and help people starting the journey of living with any of these chronic illnesses. While they do change what you can do, and what’s a triumph and what’s not, there are plenty of positive moments. For me I have a lot of memories spent just enjoying life with my family and I’ve come to realize that I’m content with my life now.
