Support for a teen with Fibromyalgia!!


Question Posted Tuesday December 14 2004, 3:35 pm

hey, i am a 16 year old female and im really upset and i dont know where else to go. my mother has Fibromyalgia and borderline Lopus. ok thas not the thing tho. she has always told me that children coudlnt get it and that it wasnt something that she could pass onto me. ive been really sick over the last 2 years and they havent been able to figure out what with. i have been to it seems every dr. possible. well then today i went to a rheumatologist and he told me that i need to go see a specialist who specializes in Fibromyalgia cause he thinks that i have it or that i could have lopus. OMG im just like freaking out now. im soo upset cause ive seen how its taken over my mom's life. and with me- i have had to give up cheerleading, work, driving and socializing in general. i am in the 11th grade and its an important year.. the problem is that i only make it to school once a week if im lucky. i just want to get better. now ive heard that if they find it early enough they can prevent me from having it all my life. does anyone know if thats true? or have any thing that they can tell me about it or anything for support? im just so upset and i want to get better!

Additional info, added Tuesday December 14 2004, 10:20 pm:
Fibromyalgia and Lopus are autoimmune diseases.. which means that the body fights itself. Fibromyalgia is moreso pain in the joints, muscles, and what not along with being really weak, tired and just not feeling good. Lopus is the same thing, however its more serious. it actually breaks down the body and you can die from it..
