Delboy, I'm sorry to hear that most of the doctors in your country do not recognize fibromayalgia. It is a very painful disorder. I know several people who have it and it took a lot of testing to finally pinpoint the disorder, but they are on medication and living day to day w/it.
I can relate to looking at photos taken years ago. It's like you are looking at a pictures that belong to someone else or were taken centuries ago. It's called indifference. Yes, they sure do change in their appearance as they navigate mlc. I know exactly what you are talking about when you described Dawn's previous appearance and the way she looks now. It's sad.
If you think that posting some of her thoughts from her diaries would help the people here, I would do it. We have so many new posters and even us "older" posters would like to read the inner most thoughts of someone going through the crisis. People don't realize that what is going on within the mlcer is turmoil and so much pain because there are no cuts or bruises or broken bones for us to see on the outside.
Delboy, please take care of yourself.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
