I loved working in TV news and thrived on the stress that would eventually bring on the worst of my symptoms. While it broke my heart to leave, I had so little energy that it was all going to my job, and my family was suffering. Once the decision was made and I was home with my children, I actually became grateful—while fibromyalgia had taken away the career I loved, it had given me all this time to spend with my kids while they're still young enough to like hanging out with mom. I've also been able to focus on my health and become functional once again. The journalist in me has driven me to share my own experience and the knowledge I've gained with other people facing the pain, fear and frustration of these conditions in the hope that I can make a difference.<ref name=":0" /></blockquote> == Online presence == *[https://www.verywell.com/fibromyalgia-and-chronic-fatigue-4014724 Verywell FMS/CFS Website] *[https://www.facebook.com/About-Fibromyalgia-Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome-270250616343765/ Facebook] *[https://plus.google.com/116645576967314568679 Google+] ==See also== == Learn more == == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:People with ME, CFS, and/or FMS]] [[Category:Advocates or allies]] [[Category:American advocates or allies]] [[Category:Authors]]
