I had the Asian flu when I was 2 yrs old.Then all the childhood illnesses at 7yrs.Diagnosed with grand mal epilepsy at age 11 yrs.Though I've had to cope with various health issues practically all my life,I've pretty well managed to keep a postive outlook due to being active with friends and being helpful and being a spiritual person.I do find Fibromyalgia to be rather confusing,as it seems to 'cover' so much.Not only muscle aches,but even neurological symptoms.For awhile I couldn't understand why it was said Fibro doesn't progress....since mine obviously has!
