I'm a paralegal, initally laid off in '07 then re-hired part time (I believe due to my problems). Fortunately, I married a understanding & patient man in December of 2006 that helps keep me going. A 3 year old grandson I can't keep overnite yet due to not knowing what reaction I'll be having to meds, pain & fatigue. His other grandmother has severe fibro as well. I get frustrated when my coordination & speech begin "acting up". My family & friends are beginning to understand what happens when I have a "fibro day" and are all very supportive and encouraging.
