Dear Bonnie,
Welcome to the Group, I'm sure you will find a bunch of nice people here.
I'm so sorry for your losses, you must have been through so much
Stress. No wonder your Costo is flaring.
Remember we're all here for you,

Good afternoon everyone,

I just joined this group and thought I would introduce myself. My name
is Bonnie and I have had Costo and fibromyalgia for many years. I am
going through a severe costo flareup right now. I think I finally got
to sleep about 5 or 6 this morning.

I was married but my husband died in July of liver cancer. He was the
light of my life and we really, really miss him. I have one daughter
who has 2 teenagers.

I also lost my brother in May and my bil in July, too. So, all of this
stress is the cause of my flareup or I think it is since that is when
all of the pain started.

I hope to learn some new things about this disease and how to cope with
it.

Bonnie
