pieface here my fibromyalgia has been bad i feel like my soul is going to come out of body.At times i wish i could just go back in time and stop fibro from intering my body i feel like i am 90 yrs old i am 52 i take alot of meds that help but wow whan i get stressed out nothing helps. Why dont thease doctors give us meds to help with the pain and scary feeling like i am dying

Pieface here again i forgot to let all know that my doc said it was in my muscles and my nerves my legs feel like jello at times they ache so bad that when my husband hugs me it hurts.  Just one little touch sends pain through me.  My faith is strong i know Jesus will take care of me does anyone else feel like jello and rubbery

Pieface, I added your 2nd post to your 1st and deleted the new thread you started (since they were on the same subject.)  Hope you don't mind - it's just easier to not have multiple threads going on the same subject at the same time.

Debbie

Hi, pieface. Welcome.

Fibro sure can be scary at first, but it can be managed to be far less life-changing. Take a look at Fibro 101, our first thread. It has ALL kinds of great threads, from symptoms to what helps.

I am 58 and yes, I often feel like I'm 90, too!

pieface: Welcome to the forum! I feel the same way as you do. We just have to take things slowly, I guess, and we'll get there, little by little. I'm glad your faith is strong. I agree--and I know Jesus will see me through this.

Hope you have a good day and God bless.

Welcome to this group, we all know what you're going through. I'm 60, look 80, feel 90 and

wish I could I could take this fibro and shove it!


I don't think anyone understands everyday pain, unless you live with it constantly.

Please feel free to vent, give advice, ask questions or just chat about what's on your mind.


Gentle hugs to you.

Hi PiePie,

Welcome to the fibromyalgia forum. I just wanted to add that we have a fantastic thread called "fibro 101". It is the first thread on the forum. It is very informative and I thought you might enjoy reading on it.

Your name got my attention. I use to have this dog named "Chance". For some reason I started calling her "chance Pants pie". I got that from a movie. Eventually I called her PiePie... I had her for 14 years. I rescued her from a neglective home. I sure do miss her. When I saw your name, it got my interest. lol...

You have a fantastic day!!!

Hugs, Karen

Oh yes, we can all relate to what you are going through. I hope that you feel better soon...

Hi, Pieface, and welcome. Yes, what you are feeling is pretty normal with fibro. Fibro affects the muscles, tendons, and ligaments and we also get weird nerve things, too. We are very sensitive to touch. My kids would give me a playful swat and I felt like they hit me with a rubber hammer and was sure I would get a bruise. That never happened.

The rubbery legs can be an issue, too. It is important to keep moving with fibro. If you sit or lay too much, you will be stiff as a board and have more pain. Because we hurt we might think resting it best but that doesn't work great for fibro. I walk daily as a gentle form of exercise. I swim in the good weather, too. The exercise can help a little with the rubbery legs, too. You are keeping your legs strong.

Also, pacing yourself helps a lot. Everything gets done but in a different time frame.

Please read Fibro 101...the first thread on the forum. There are good links about fibro and you will learn a lot there. The very first link helps explain what doctors think is happening to us. Other good links to start with are called Symptoms, What Else Could It Be, and A Thorough Explanation of Fibromyalgia. You just might see yourself there.

Your strong faith will help you a lot. It has helped me...along with a positive attitude. These help me almost as much as medication.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. Don't hesitate to ask questions because we are here to help you. Hope to hear more from you soon.
