Thirteen years ago, Linda Horton was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Linda enjoys being out in nature and she cross-stitches whenever she is able. With her family’s support, she maintains a positive attitude and faith in God. She believes that people with FM must educate themselves and accept the fact that they have a chronic illness.

“I’ve changed the way I do things and I don’t feel guilty about not mopping the floor three times a week. It is okay.”

Linda believes in taking it one day at a time.
