I am sorry that I have not been around recently. I have tried to post, but, for some reason, it would not let me. It would go through the motions of posting and then not show up. So, I apologize that...
Hello everyone. I went to my new doctor today. He is so wonderful. He is so understand, knowledgeable, and he really listens, which is a big deal. He is doing all that he can to make dealing with my...
I was diagnosed with Fibro about 8 months ago, but I was told by my rheumetologist that I have likely had it all my life. Traumatic experiences usually trigger Fibro out of remission. I am sorry to...
My main pain is from my lower back all the way up into my neck and shoulders. Pretty much all the other pains I can ignore, but when my meds wear off, the pain in those areas are so bad that I am...
My main pain is my lower back all the way into my shoulder and neck. Other pains I can pretty much put into the back of my mind, but when my meds wear off, those places just kill me. I sometimes cry...
I wish you the best of luck with this situation. I really hope it all turns out for the best. I would consider going to the doctor with her and discussing all of this with him/her. I think that might...
I wouldn't discredit her claims of not getting enough sleep. I can sometimes take naps during the day and be out like a light, but then, at night, I won't sleep much at all, and when I do sleep, it...
Last night, I offered to take half my normal dose of Trazodone so that I might be of more use to him, but he insisted I take the full dose. He knows that I am miserable if I don't get the kind of...
In my home, it is just me, my husband, and our 18 month old son. I usually feel miserable, but some days are better than others. What do you all do when someone else in your family/household is not...
I see my new doc on the 29th, so I will ask him for an anti-inflammatory. I know that I need one, so I am going to ask for one. I love take hot baths, but the problem is that our bathtub has a...
Thank you all for your suggestions. I am a very slow mover in the mornings usually. I get up, go to the BR, go smoke, then come back in the house and eat a small breakfast. I don't like to do much...
I have been having a lot of morning stiffness and pain recently. I take Trazodone, so I am out of it all night, so I don't know if it could be the way that I am sleeping or not. But does anyone have...
This reminds me of the huge fight my sister and I had and are still not speaking from. She had told me that if I didn't take so many drugs then I would remember things. Sure, medications can cause...
I take a book into the bathtub with me constantly. I do it almost everyday. It is my little getaway. But, sometimes, I need a little more than that. I will google that site you mentioned, see if I...
I need a vacation. I just feel so overwhelmed by the littlest things right now. My house needs some more cleaning, and I feel overwhelmed about that. I feel like I never have any alone time. Of...
It hasn't been easy. I am slightly OCD, so things tend to bother me when they aren't the way that I want them to be. It has been even harder since the fibro flared up. My husband is helpful with our...
I really don't know the reason behind why I started smoking. But, when I was with my ex, I smoked a lot. He was very abusive, and I always felt better when I was smoking, even though it really ticked...
At first, before I was officially diagnoses, I was taking Tramadol, but it didn't do anything for me. Now, I take Lortab 5s. This is all my insurance covers. They help, but because they are such a...
I have been doing a lot recently, taking care of my family, cooking, and cleaning. The pain has been really intense. It's so intense right now that I wish I could have some morphine to make it go...
I take Trazodone to help me sleep. Technically it is an anti-depressant, but it is very mild. It really helps me to sleep. It is a very amazing drug. And I have never had any bad side-effects from it....
I have smoked on and off since I was twelve. I quit smoking when I was pregnant with my son because it made me sick to even be around the smell, but I started smoking again after he was born. My...
I have been doing better the past two days. I think part of it is due to stress. But, I am going to mention it if it happens again. I may have a nervous stomach or something. I don't know. I go to...
You are more than welcome here. This is a support group not only for those with Fibro, but their families as well. So welcome to our little group. I know it is really hard to watch her suffer. My...
Hi everyone! I finally got my insurance back! Hooray! Now I can go to the doctor and the dentist, and I can get my ER bills resent through the insurance. I am just so excited about all of this! I...
I am anxious to get my medicaid back as well. I want to get to the doctor and the dentist. I want to take my son to his ear specialist. Plus, next month, he is due for his 18 month old shots. I am...
I had a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I talked to the medicaid people, and they processed our stuff and it is in the final stage, so we should have all our benefits back in a few days. How...
I just took a test, and I am not PG. I don't have insurance. There are no free clinics in my area. I owe $35 before I can see a doc again, and then I have to pay a little on that visit as well. We...
Hi everyone. As a lot of you know, I recently went through Xanax withdrawal. Well, I feel that has ended, but I am still not too well. I keep getting sick in the mornings. I am going to take a...
I just want all of you to know how much you all mean to me. I love you all. You are all just so very wonderful. Thank you so much for being here for me....
Wow. That's a mess. I have had people tell me that I just need to exercise more and that would cure me. Exercise is good, don't get me wrong, but it's not a cure. Isn't it amazing how people without...
This is interesting. I have been seriously considering applying for SSI. I know that I don't have enough work credits to qualify for disability, but I know that I meet the requirements for SSI. I...
Thank you Statgeek. That really means a lot to me. Whenever anyone prays for me and my family, it just means the world to me. It shows that people really do care. It is always a blessing to know that...
Health insurance is a big problem. It seems like people who need it the most are unable to get it. I just pray that everything will be fixed with mine shortly. My son needs his insurance too. Mine...
GamJill, You are absolutely right! It has been such a pain not having insurance. I just got my first ER bill, and it was close to $1500. Everything will be back-payed once I get my insurance, but I...
Glad to hear that he took it so well. Things like that happen. It is an easy fix, so you don't have to worry anymore. I really am glad to hear that he took it so well....
Thank you everyone for your wonderful support and advice. Today is a MUCH better day. I think I am finally over the withdrawal. Thank the Lord for that! You are all so wonderful. I am truly blessed...
It really is a simple fix. My husband knows what you need to do, so if you have any questions, just ask and I will talk to my husband and let you know what he says....
I went off my xanax because my insurance went away for a while and I couldn't get another script, so I had to go off of it cold turkey. And after all the crap I have been going through, I don't plan...
I am withdrawing from Xanax. I just got my first ER bill, and it is almost $1500. I am so upset about it. I need my insurance to kick in desperately. Please, for those of you who pray, please pray...
Hi everyone. I have been trying really hard to hang in there. My withdrawal symptoms are slowly getting better, which I am thankful for, but I still don't feel that great. I have been dealing with a...
My husband says this is easy to fix. All you need to do is get some wire caps and twist them back together. He says that those wires go to the thermostat. I would come clean to your husband about...
I just love spring as well. To me, it is the most friendly of seasons. Everything is coming back to life, and it's not too hot, but not too cold either. It is just such a great season. I am really...
Denise, Your prayers mean a lot. I know that the Bible talks about how when two or more people come into prayer together about something that God looks down with even more favor, or something like...
I feel down right now because I am not the only person that all of this has been hard on. My husband is having a really rough time with all of this as well, and I just don't know what to do for him....
Good luck Pinksilly! Sometimes walking helps with the pain, and sometimes it doesn't, but it is still important to do. Exercise is important, even when we don't feel like it. It helps keep our...
I really appreciate everyone here. I honestly don't know what I would do without you guys. You all seem to really understand me and what I am going through. It is just such a blessing to have some...
As I have said, my husband and I plan to quit together, so I hope we don't kill each other. I wish all the quitters the best of luck! Let's hope we all can do it. It may not be easy, but it will be...
I found out that the reason I have been ill is because I am going through withdraw from my xanax. Unfortunately, there is nothing to do but ride it out. I hope it ends quickly. I am tired of feeling...
I think just about everyone on here has at least one insensitive person in their family. I am sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with them. It is best just to ignore what they say....
I don't really have money to do something that I really enjoy. I may read a book in the bath tub. I don't know. The weather out isn't too bad. But anytime I go outside, I want to smoke, and I am...
