Introduction

I am Aria (nickname) or Kiristie (legal name). I am mom of 4, diagnosed with Fibro within the last 6 mo but have known I have had it for the last 5+ yrs. Dealing with a variety of issues that come along with Fibro.

Tell us when were you diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Maybe you are new to it, or you've had it for years.

I have been finally diagnosed within the last 6 mo, but have been dealing with it for over the last 5+ yrs.

Tell us how fibromyalgia has impacted your life. Try to think of at least one thing positive .For example, having fibro has caused me to slow down and not rush through life.

One thing that Fibro has done, is allow me to learn to ask for help. Since I can not safely carry items if my arms are having a "spasm" day... I have to ask for help from other adults and my children to get things done. I am not beating myself up nearly as much for not getting to everything I used to do. Limitations do Include some days: getting up, Distance I walk, how much I lift, or pick up. And my mood.

Tell us what you would like to do to get involved with this group. For example, you can respond to Message Board threads, you can submit Meetup Ideas, you can help host a Meetup, you can post greetings on FibroFriends members' profile pages, etc.

:) I am friendly and don't mind getting involved. I am willing to do what I can when I can. Right now my schedule is a bit full, but I am going to be 'navigating' what is on my schedule in the coming weeks.

Tell us how often you can attend Meetups: once a month, once a week, more often, less often.

I can usually attend meetups once a month sometimes twice a month. It varies due to how I am feeling, and what my children's schedules look like.

    Aria, I'm sorry you had to miss the last luncheon. We all know what it is like to plan something, then wake up that morning and say, "Ooooh, I can't do anything today." If you find that you can't make it, if possible, take a moment to change your RSVP so I know who to look for. Thanks.
