    Stephanie...  Thank you for making this, for the photographs, the music -  your story breaks my heart but I know you have a greater purpose than to fulfill your original dreams.  The good thing about FM is that the heart of an FMer seems to grow, not break.  The soul of the FMer gets stronger, while the body weakens. 

    I think we can all picture our story the way you've portrayed it in your video.  Photographs of our well, younger selves.  We have songs that inspire us and remind us of the past.  I hope one day I can make a video of my life like this. 

    Thank you for sharing your story with the world.  Only when we tell others the truth about what we experience can they learn to accept and understand it.

    Gentle hugs...

    Stephanie, I can't thank you enough for making this video and sharing it with us. You are such a courageous, determined and beautiful young lady. I applaude your tenacity and drive! I was 37 when I was diagnosed and had suffered with fibro since my early 20s. I thought that was so young. You have given me a reason to look back at my youth and be grateful for the years I had that were "fibro free".

    THANK YOU! Stephanie you are so special!

    This is not my story. I found this on youtube and was really inspired by it! It is not about me, although I relate to it. Sorry for the confusion, but I am glad that this story touched you!

    Hey Stephanie this video inspired me and reminded me of a lot of my teen years when I was growing up. I have been sick with Ulcerative Colotis since I was 13 years old and I had a terrible stiff neck that I had to be hospitalized with when I was 8years old. Just keep the sprit and your head up and make your life remarkable that is the way I have always tried to live my life has well and my mom has always been there for me even now and she is my hero for always teaching me that my life is not over because I have to deal with 3 chronic illnesess and my son keeps my life in tack, so we are all here anytime you want to talk and thank for this inspiring video and I loved the music.

    Lizzie, i just watched the video again, and sure enough, i got weepy.  I hate that you are so young and having to deal with this.  I was 22 when diagnosed but have had the symptoms for years.  I lam now 11 days shy of 30....YIKES!!! 

    Keep you head help high.....anything is possible.  =)
