Please don't feel pressured to talk about your fibro .. I just like to hear of other people's experiences

Hi Cat .. you have comment moderation like I do so I know you don't have to publish comments before they are read .. helps with the spam eh ? I wouldn't be Canadian if I didn't say 'EH!" haha
7 years ago is about the time I was diagnosed too .. it started with Hashimoto's Thyroid'itis" type deal .. pressure in my throat driving me mad .. internal goiter(so it doesn't look apparent thankfully) but weight gain and feeling drained .. immune system badly battered, but I take a load of supplements to help).. this lead to the fibro being diagnosed .. heart murmur .. tinnitus .. all sorts of little goodies in the 'prize package"
What brought it on .. a mix of things .. back door opened with (sorry for the pun) back surgery .. blew a lower disc in my back .. disc fusion with screws and bone graft). Then tremendous stress .. a posting to Holland which was a wonderful experience but great stress with teenage son and husband who is a Gulf War vet. He had PTSD which began to crack while there .. he had been in communications and was with the combat engineers that went there to clean up land mines, and munitions .. they were there the minute war was halted .. saw such death and devastation .. John witnessed some horrific events .. in shot it just about finished him, but PTSD doesn't surface for a while .. so we stayed in Holland for 4 years .. then came home to here .. then all hell broke loose .. between my son and my husband I was bombarded with stress, tension, grief .. you name it.
I'm so sorry about your husband's death .. and the accidents are a huge indicator in fibro .. and I have learned it is NEVER just fibro .. there are so many tag along conditions .. flood gates seem to open.
So .. for now .. husband took early medical retirement from army .. son still home at 28 but working and doing his best that he can .. I'm fairly stable but still have some wicked, days, weeks etc .. you know how it goes ..
I think I over did my story a bit ? Too much information syndrome with me .. haha.
But it is nice to talk to some one else that has this and knows what it is like. My husband and I are each other's support system really. But talking to another woman who has this is nice : )

I keep wondering when you're going to run out of tea cups to share with us, your collection is astounding! And LARGE!

I bought some organic caffeine free blueberry tea yesterday, you have inspired me to drink it out of one of my real tea cups. They're nothing special like yours but they're better than my old crappy mugs.
