Thank you for making this video. Diagnosis 1996, female, just turned 40.😮
Denise, it's crazy how similar we were. I was 40 as well.
Jen Frost you are amazing, in so many ways! The thought and organization of this video is much like one of your beautiful quilts. Well done!
Jessica, thank you for your sweet words! Fibro is a doozie, and making this quilted blanket was extra special for me.
I love that neuron fabric too! This was so informative - thank you!
Amy, thank you! The neuron fabric is my favorite, too; the contrast of the tones is even nicer in person :)
Thank you for sharing- great video!!
Thank you so much; I'm glad you enjoyed it! Happy sewing to you.
Thank you so much for sharing. I have acute fibromyalgia and was diagnosed in 1992. I also suffer from psoriatic arthritis and autoimmune disease. I’m 56 now, and my Faith in God has helped me through and kept me sane. When I was diagnosed back then, no one Understood. Please let me know if possible the FB group for Fibromyalgia. God Bless You, and thank you so much for sharing your story and making this video for a weighted blanket.
Carolyn, sending you gentle hugs! You've been on quite the journey having been diagnosed at such a young age.
The Facebook group that I'm in is called "Fibromyalgia Solutions and Support" :) You can go to Facebook > Groups and then search for the name there. I'm so glad you like the blanket and fabrics!
@@FaithandFabric thank you so much, God has taught me to be still & patient so that he may teach me and mold me like clay. It took a long time for me to understand that he uses all challenges for good. Nothing is wasted. God also blesses my husband and I abundantly.
