Hey! Just introducing myself! |
Lead | ||
|
My name is Mary and I'm 19. I was diagnosed when I was thirteen, but my family can trace it back to about seven months old. I graduated from high school in
'06. I was on partial homebound throughout high school and then full homebound during my senior year. I went on to college directly after my senior year,
despite that I was bedbound. I withdrew one semster later. I now go to a community college where I study web design. I live with my parents and its wonderful
because I only have to worry about school, feeding my animals, and taking care of myself. My parents take of everything else, so that has really worked out
nicely. I posted a message here because I have very little contact with people my age that also have CFS.

Hello Mary,
I hope you don't mind an "oldie" being the first one to welcome you. It's just that this forum is rather quiet and not very active at
the moment, and there is another young lady of your age who posts in our Smalltalk forum with some very
interesting topics and posts, and you are so welcome to join us there. It is a busy forum with lots going on on most days.
We also have a Daily Post each day in SmallTalk where we can all get to know each other and post a little bit about what is going on in our day. And then there is our Coping Forum, for if you feel in need of some support or perhaps are looking for information on CFS. You have achieved so much despite having CFS from such a very young age, I admire your courage and determination in actively going to college to study Web Design. That must be so interesting and creative at the same time. I'm so glad you have good support at home, it means everything to have parents who understand. I'm jilly from the UK and I also have CFS. Looking forward to seeing you soon in SmallTalk or Coping. Hugs to you

Hello Mary and welocme to the board!
Sorry you have to deal with such a disabling illness in your age. I hope you'll come join us in the other forums. If I will say it myself, we're not a bad bunch even of quite a few of us qualifies as "oldies".
You can read more about who we are in our Presentation thread >>> in Smalltalk. You're welcome to post a bit about yourself too, if you like.
Looking forward getting to know you.

Hi Mary,
I'm Amanda and it's nice to see you here. I have CFS as well, and Fibro. I don't get a chance to get on here much since I moved and began college, but my path with the illness is slightly similar to yours. I was homebound my senior year, and I know how difficult that is, so I must say congrats on your graduation! Good luck on college, it's really nice to have parents support. Even though I'm on my own now, I still go home quite a bit because it's nice to be taken care of. I hope I get a chance to get to know you a bit better and do take a gander at the other forums. They are a bit busier than here. Take care~ Amanda |
