well I think I finally found a group for me. My name is Lisa, I am 38, I think, yeah 38 :) and have been disabled since 1994. I have fibro also and all kinds of muskoskeletal, joint, bone troubles. I also suffer from seizures and severe migraines. It seems harder when you are diagnosed young, I look ok on the outside, so alot of people don't believe how sick you really are. And of course, Fibro was just being discussed, so no one believed that either. Here is some info that you might find helpful. Also, for those of you trying for disability, 95% of the time they ALWAYS reject you the first time. I guess they feel if you really need it you will appeal, and you better, so dont get too discouraged. Nice to meet you guys :)
