I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2020. But even before that I had to quit my job that I loved in 2018. I started forgetting simple things. Would get “shocks” in my legs hands and head on a daily basis. I was not sure what was happening to me. I was always so active, went on hikes, went to the gym, loved being outdoors. But after a back surgery all of that changed. I ended up with some nerve damage. And my whole world changed. So first was finally being diagnosed a few years after everything happened. Feeling like no one believed me. I know my body and when there is something wrong. Then a few years later in 2022; my husband and I decided to look into fostering. It would give me something else to focus on and we both wanted to be able to help the kids that needed the help.
We have been a licensed foster home since 2023. We have had some amazing kids come through our home. We have also had some very tough situations to deal with, but wouldn't change any of it.
This blog will talk about the struggles of both fostering and me having fibromyalgia.
