Mary's Story

JavaChic24@aol.com

HI there! My name is Mary, and I'm a 19 year old college student in Denver,
Colorado. After going through 2 weeks of unexpected severe pain (it hurt to
walk, sleep, and move any of my joints), I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.
I have a history of rheumatoid arthritis in my family, but I never expected
to have something like this. I just want to feel "normal" again... but it
doesn't look like that is going to happen. I also, at 19, never thought it
could happen to me at such a young age. I'm trying some different therapies
including massage, chiropractic, and acupuncture -- I'll let you guys know if
anything really works!! Until then, you just got to hang in there and be
strong!! If there's anyone else out there like me, I'd love to chat!
