Fibromyalgia, CFS/M.E., Chronic Mono fighter. Age 36 Started getting sick in 1996, much worse in 1998..Was diagnosed with FM and CFS finally in 2007 but I kept going..and working and trying until my body gave out on me in 2008 - passed out while driving. Since then I've been unable to work, and it has now been 5.5 years of doctoring. my husband left me in Jan 2010 after almost 10 years of marriage. We were also dealing with infertility on top of all this, so it was a huge stress. He wanted a big family, 6 kids... never even had 1...never even got pregnant. We tried on our own, and we tried for 3 years with a fertility specialist, but it didn't happen... and 2 weeks before our next fertility doc appt he just never came home. I had been so sick a few months before that with Swine flu.. I think he just had it.. I can't say I blame him for walking away. IF I COULD WALK AWAY FROM MY OWN ILLNESS I WOULD! But it hurts to be left..to be abandoned. I had already lost my job/career/work friends.. and then to lose my husband who I thought would stand by me forever..and along with that lost all his family too.. I've built a new support system since then and have some very close friends..and I just keep going..one day at a time, and it's definitely not easy.
