If you take a few minutes to read the article below from The Durango Herald, you will understand the title of this post. Liz Harrison's life story from 13 years of age forward sounds very much like my daughter's and probably will sound very much like any teenager who is finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
In the article, Liz's Mom talks about owning your disease and then managing it. She makes a very important point. Anyone with fibro should be working with specialists in the field, talking to others with the condition and learning as much as possible so that they are informed, current and have the ability to make good decisions regarding their lives.
We can all learn from each other and encouraging stories from fibromyalgia patients can only give hope and provide a goal for others to work toward.
Enjoy the article and never forget that the path someone else is on does not have to be the path you follow.
In fact, it probably shouldn't be.
