Lately I've been scared of the future. I feel that something has progressed, not for the good. On Easter weekend something happened. My rheumatologist says I don't fit the puzzle because of my tremors or shaking.

Members connected over shared fears about disease progression, with many describing how symptoms like tremors, shaking, weakness, and pain have worsened over time, leaving them anxious about what the future holds. Several members offered practical coping strategies, including focusing on one day at a time, staying active even during difficult days, journaling to combat negative self-talk, reviewing medications for interactions, and leaning on faith for strength and peace. A recurring theme was finding hope through community support, acknowledging fear without letting it take over, and choosing to adapt and keep fighting rather than give up, even when the path forward feels uncertain.

I think we all wonder what the future holds for us with this disease. I try not to go deep into it though because I may be worrying over nothing if a cure is found in my lifetime. So I really try and just focus on the day at hand that God has given me and have faith that he'll be with me in the days to come . Maybe that's how I've learned to deal with tomorrow...through my faith. Blessings and courage to carry us all through until there's a cure !

We have to adapt to it because your not going to get rid of it by living in denial...just ask me I tried ! Once I admitted it to myself, I started trying to figure out how to climb the wall called fibromyalgia. I knew it wouldn't keep me down,to me it became another challenge, I like challenges. We now co-exist, I don't like it and it doesn't like me so the battle goes on ..... Who's going to give in first ?

I look back to this time last year , I was head technician at our workshop ,I played badmington twice a week ,life was just perfect , the fibro started to show its face ,and over the coming months stole my strength my ability to move , my ability to think for myself plunging me deeper into a state of depression , I to am afraid of what the future brings , but I am here to talk about it and if this is how my life is to be then so be it , I will adapt to suit just for my family if nothing else lets hope the future is ro sy for all of use with fibro
