College Students and Fibromyalgia...
Finding teens/ College aged folks with Fibromyalgia has got to be the hardest thing in the world!
I have been depending and living through posts on the internet to tell the story that I've been living for years. Trying to talk to family members and friends about it usually fails because they refuse to believe that what I tell them is true. They've all pretty much told me that it is in my head and that there is nothing medically wrong...
I spend countless hours online searching for support groups on the internet and support groups that meet, Fibromyalgia forums, and chronic illness forums and support groups.
They relieve some of the stress that I deal with from the lack of those around who understand.
Many times I've laugh at the comments/stories told, not because they are necessarily funny but because it fits me 100%

30 Things About My Invisible Illness You May Not Know
2. I was diagnosed in the year: 2011!
3. But I had symptoms since: as long as I can remember. Since I was 12 years old.
4. The biggest adjustment I’ve had to make is: YEAH BED AT 9:30 WHAT’S UP WITH THE COOL KID OVER HERE WUT WUT
5. Most people assume: that their fucking mother or their fucking sister is going through the same thing I am with THEIR fibro! And everyone’s fibro is different, people without fibro don’t get that, I think.

21. If I could have one day of feeling normal again I would: Go jogging, or exercize in some way, and I’d stay up as late as I could and go out until like 5 AM!!
22. My illness has taught me: People are wussies, pain is all about mind over matter, especially with fibro, and DRY COLD WEATHER IS A CHODE.
24. But I love it when people: TREAT ME LIKE A NORMAL PERSON WHEN I SAY “HEY NOT THE HIPS PLZ” which my friends are very good at!
26. When someone is diagnosed I’d like to tell them: “Dude, listen, you still feel as shitty as you did before, but now it has a name and you get drugs to make it better. So cheer the fuck up.”
27. Something that has surprised me about living with an illness is: People give you so much pity n shit when really, at least for me, I’m the only one that can really help myself.
29. I’m involved with Invisible Illness Week because: I have fibromyalgia, no one in the medical community gives a fuck, and I feel the same pain someone with like fuckin’ lupus has every day. I should be given a fair chance in the medical community.

HELLO!!!
I was constantly debating on whether I should create a blog seeing how many lovely blogs are often surpassed. However I was triggered to create a blog after searching and searching and doing even more searching, but failing, to find support groups about Fibromyalgia. It was especially hard to find any young adults in person and online that suffer from Fibromyaglia. So I figured WHY NOT ME? :)
This blog will not only be about Fibromyaglia, however. It will also feature many talks and pictures about Dreadlocs/ Dreadlocks, piercings, music, school and my beautiful hometown of Milwaukee!
