Nope. David! You should be here. I don't know why some of us have many things physically wrong with us but life is still good. I have many things wrong, too, but have still had a full and enjoyable life.

Having a positive outlook has helped me immensely. I don't dwell on all of my health problems. I just make plans and reachable goals for myself daily and enjoy my life the best that I can. This has worked great for me for decades. I started with health problems as a toddler and am nearly 69 years old now. I've done things that I never thought I could do but I tried them and was successful! I never say never.

Be sure to read Fibro 101... The first thread on the forum. I assume you have fibro since you are here. There are links about fibro and you will learn a lot there. There also is a good link on how to maintain a positive attitude when you have chronic pain. This helps me a lot and could help you too.

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.


For over one hour I have poured out my life in replying to you. It just disappeared. I had to log back in and it was gone.
I am so disappointed and will not try again.

My pet peeve is wasting my time.
God bless you. You are a good person. Bye.

Well, Sherrine, I click on envelope and it indicated that we have different default emails and therefore it will not work.
I would certainly like to email you though.

I wrote you.

I had no chance of not being diabetic as both grandmother were. In addition to how diabetes can effect my neutricin (sp) intake my birth surgery does this too.........scare tissue, intestines still ALITTLE twisted and perhaps my hiatal hernia. I went to the stomach surgeon today and it's still not worth the risk for an operation. In 2004 when I had 20 foot of scare tissue removed around my intestines I was sick for a month after having iliac... something or other. I remember throwing up green stuff and going through a lot of pain at the hospital. I don't want to go through that again. Anyway, the doc said all my scare tissue is back and a small cyst in my spleen, a small tare near my left groin. My life is so fun, LOL.   
I take 2 1000 mg of Janumet per day and 38 unites of Leveme by pen daily. I was DX in 2000.I hope to stop taking the second pill per day after I get over my blunder of trying to stop Janumet altogether...dumb.
I MIGHT have to have shoulder surgery AGIAN if the physical therapy does not help after awhile. I see my ortho Doctor Tuesday and I will find out more. I take 3 Neurontin's now instead of two. It helps. I am concerned though about the condition of my body that is coved by medicine...the pain maybe gone but the source of the pain marches on,. Right?
My neck really hurts despite of a drug compound of 6 different pain meds that I rub on. I have a CT scan  of my neck Monday.
Next week I see my Endo to have a yearly CT of my stomach to see if my benign Adrenal tumors have grown

I was thinking about the Fibro sub site. I will go from now on to chronic pain. My pain is from many different reasons.
 
It's a good Idea about washing off olives and pickles before you eat them...to get rid of the sodium. Wife and I went to the store and got a veggies for my snack. I used to love that as a snack, but I got to get use to it again. Besides, my wife has to prepare them and she worked hard enough through the years with her first husband and all. She loves to do for me. 
I must be ok as far as hydration as my urine is not very yellow. Sometimes it is ALMOST  clear.
