Sorry for the typos, my IPad tends to change words on it's own....
The house is mine, I have lived here since my first husband and I bought it when I was 19 years old. The company my husband works for does not provide insurance, and he has type II diabetes and has a...
I never had a problem with depression. When I was younger, people used to ask me why I was always happy. Now I am almost 59, I have fibromyalgia and I have been on tramadol, 50 mgs. 2 pills three...
Your office sounds just like mine. I have been working for the same office for over 14 years. We were a bit smaller when I started, and when we had doctors appointments back then we would just go,...
I am always checking in here to see what you ladies are saying and I always leave with some wise information from you ladies. Usually I am at work and I cannot always post, I just sneak a peek....
So much of your post sounds like me. I have osteo and Fibro. I work full time and there are times I don't know how much more I can do it although with the economy I have to continue on. I am 57 and...
I am dealing with arms and hands going numb and tingling right now. Headaches, chest pains, face feels hot, breasts burn, plus moderate osteoarthritis. I am almost 57, and I rarely post here, I just...
Wow that is great to know about the gloves, I was in Walgreens last night and thinking about getting a pair of those arthritis gloves, so I may look into those. Is that why I am hurting so badly...
Hi, I am Debbie or also know as Miss Magnolia; I have been posting in Fibro but I have arthritis also. My husband and daughter have me on B-12 vitamans and I can say I have felt better lately but I...
XOXO Deb...
I have a good friend with Reynaud's and it's not like that. It's really scary to see her fingers turn white and she will put them under warm water. She doesn't get it as badly as you do. I am so...
I love using my crock pot especially since I still work full time. Here is a couple: http://www.crock-pot.ca/recipecategorygroup/main-dishes.aspx http://www.goodhousekeepi...k&list=gdf&kw=ist ...
I went to my Rheumy last week and he wants to test the nerves in my hands. They go numb and are really painful. I think he is testing me for Carpel Tunnel, but in my Fibro book, (which I must have...
Nice to be checking back in, I had to post when yall asked for Southern Ladies....
Just two days ago, I opened my freezer and sitting there was a huge jar of peanut butter, frozen solid and the first thing I thought was that my husband must be losing his mind. He happened to be in...
I was having lunch with a friend of mine once, who was like a little brother to me, in a nice restaurant and I got up to go to the bathroom and I came back, sat at the booth, started talking and when...
You are my kind of ladies. I am forever pulling goofs too. Thanks for the giggle!...
I have never posted in this forum, I have fibromyalgia and at first was thought to have lupus. I decided to check this out. I have been on numerous anti-depressants over the years, Paxil,...
I haven't posted on here in awhile as my rheumy first said I had lupus then said I didn't, that I have Fibromyalgia. He is now out on what was supposed to be a 3 month medical leave, which has been...
Thanks ladies for replying. Patti, the nurse paralegal told me to just keep an eye on things and take the Lyrica and see what happens. And thanks Rosie, I am going going to check the internet to see...
I went to my Rheumy twice and when I went in for the results for blood test, his exact words were " you tested positive for lupus". I am looking at my test results right now and it says ANA Hep 2...
I am so glad you found the money. I have gone through the brain fog too and it so hard to explain to someone unless you know what it is. I will forget words, the simplest words. Your not alone hon,...
I am new here but I just read your posts and my heart goes out to you. Your son is in my prayers as are you. You are a Mother, and you don't stop being a Mother or worrying about your children once...
I am so sorry about you Aunt, and her death may have effected you more than you realize. Years ago, I was stung by a catapillar and it gave me fever. I don't know about the wasp. Sorry. Is the...
Welcome, and I am new here also and this place is a God send. I am so happy about your daughter, you sound like a very loving Mother. I too have much to learn, I am not on any meds to SLE yet as I...
I have a very sensitive stomach, when I had a hysterectomy 4 years ago the doctor sent me home with pain meds that made me feel like I had a knife in my stomach. I was not able to take them and in...
I live in Kenner. And I am going to Dr. William Davis at Ochsner. The nurse/paralegal where I work recommended him. Well you sure are close enough! My niece (who has rheumatoid arthritis) lives in...
Thank you so much for the kind welcome. I finally don't feel so alone. I have no idea what to expect and I am totally open to learning from others. I am so happy to have found you guys!...
I will be 55 in a few weeks, I am married with one daughter and two grandchildren. I work full time in a Law Office in the suburbs of New Orleans, and yes, working is getting harder by the day. And...
