I have been having some dental work done. Dentist has been pushing me for years to get a night (bite) guard due to the damage I continue to cause my teeth. I can't tell you how many times I have...
This is an odd question but it has been bugging me for years. As a teen and into my early 20's I had beautiful handwriting. Printing or cursive I would always get compliments on how "neat" it was. As...
I've been getting in the shower with socks on lately. It has been in the 90's so much this summer and I have been wearing flip flops a lot but when I come inside the AC freezes my toes, hence putting...
Best wishes to your hubby and to you as well....
I used to post here years ago but had a hard drive miss-hap and lost my way! Couldn't for the life of me remember the name of the forum site. Typical fibrofog. For some reason today it just came to...
It took 10 years for me to get diagnosed (about 10 years ago) and I was a hair designer for all of those years. I was told countless times to find a new profession. Standing behind the chair was...
My DH has RLS although he doesn't notice any symptoms.....it was ME who told his doctor about what HE was putting me through at night! I have a hard enough time sleeping without him kicking all night...
I have these as well. My massage therapist and I refer to them as "crunchies". When she is working on me and applying pressure to them we can literally hear them "crunch" under my skin. In layman's...
I bump into things ALL THE TIME. Sometimes I think I am providing free entertainment for my hubby since he constantly comments on it. He will hear a thump or boom followed by me saying "ouch" (or...
I waited until Sunday while grocery shopping to buy the Halloween candy thinking that it was close enough to beggars night (Fri) to be safe! I ate 5 of the small candy bars on Sunday night! I ate...
We all have triggers. Some of them we know and others remain a mystery. Some may bother us today and tomorrow they don't affect us at all. I know a few of my triggers. The weather is a BIGGIE for...
This would have come in handy this morning when the fog was so bad I swear I couldn't remember my own name! I am terribly bad at not breathing deeply. For me it hurts to take a deep breath. I feel...
"Alien under the skin"........ /community/emoticons/yeah.gif YES!!! this is it exactly. It is located directly in the center. Looking down between my breasts as soon as they stop and the abdomen...
The lump is the muscle not my intestines coming through. It's at the top or start of this muscle. Too high up and sits directly under the bottom of the breast bone. It moves (flips) tightens/hardens...
Forgive the length of my post. This is hard to explain....at least I haven't been able to make anyone understand so far! I have issues with a muscle. I don't know what is wrong with it but it is...
I know it is a problem for you and would be for most people but I am sooooo envious! I would love to sleep even one hour solid without waking up. Sure does sound like a sleep study is in order....
My DH went on short term disability last year for a month due to pancreatitis. He was in and out of two different ER's, numerous visits with various doctors etc.... It was HARD getting his disability...
I have Zanaflex. It was prescribed to take 2-3 per day to keep the muscles from getting so knotted and painful but it makes me too sleepy. I only take one in the evenings when I am especially sore or...
This happens to me a lot. My DH is out without me right now doing something that he enjoys and that I *usually* enjoy but my ribs are hurting so much tonight and I have been dealing with a pinched...
[b]I was getting ready to leave the house and had the TV on.... The Today Show was on and I just sat and watched. I had no idea what was going on. I didn't suspect terrorism at all. When the 2nd...
I spent over 23 years as a hair designer. about 10 years in I had to cut my hours to part-time. The pain was so intense and nothing helped. A few years into the part-time reduction I figured that I...
Vent all you want! When others vent it makes me not feel so bad to do so when the need strikes. :) My Boxer is doing well despite having cancer, heart issues and some other things. We are waiting to...
Thanks for the well wishes everyone. Another day another symptom. The skin thing is gone for the most part EXCEPT it all congregated in my left arm and down the left side of my back and side. I swear...
Today my skin has been EXTRA sensitive. Even my clothes lying against my skin is painful. What is WEIRD is that if I touch anywhere on my body lightly it can make me gasp in pain HOWEVER if I push...
Since far more woman than men are affected I personally feel (and I am not very scientific)....that it has something to do with hormones, estrogen to be exact. Men of course have estrogen...
WARNING**** Squick alert ! I've been stressed to the max and DH thinks that is the reason for what happened to me last night and continues today. I was feeling anxious and stressed out yesterday...
I was warned about the spotting and break through bleeding. It was never very heavy for me and only happened on the 2nd pack of pills. By the start of the third it was over and hasn't happened again....
Weird that this came up!! I just bought a new Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have never driven an SUV as my primary vehicle. I have always driven something sporty (Firebird, Camaro, etc..). I never noticed...
I'm 41 and have been on the pill non-stop since I was 17. I had a bout with fibroids (surgery) when I was 33. At that time I was put on Seasonale. I haven't had a period since. I go back and forth...
I didn't mean to scare anyone. The normal mammogram is fine. Not painful persay, more slighlty uncomfortable and more "odd" since someone else is handling your breasts like a sack of potatoes. It was...
I had a mammogram last week and told the nurse about having Fibro. She was gentle with me.....I was sore over the weekend but nothing that some Advil wouldn't take care of. I had a call back this...
Normal for me is PAIN. Every moment of every day. I have learned to "live" with the pain and function despite it. I just do things differently than a "normal" person might do them (pace myself...
I keep thinking of quiting also and then "something" happens and I find myself using them as my one true crutch (besides Diet Pepsi). I've started to pray about it. If anyone (or anything) can help...
Hoping that you are feeling better!! I have volunteered with an Ohio Boxer rescue for many years. A "legitimate" rescue will NOT take in a dog with a bite history. The liability is one that they...
I smoke. I used to say that I liked to smoke and I really think that I did. I have made some progress, (baby steps) and have reached the conclusion that I don't like it anymore however I am addicted....
I know all about how ones career can be overly painful for some of us. I was a hair designer for over 20 years when I finally realized that standing behind the chair day in and day out was killing...
Hubby bought this for his elbows. He has tendonitis so bad that he needs surgery and refuses. Didn't do a thing for his pain. Hopefully it will offer you some relief....
