I can't do this anymore. I can't feel this way. I've had flares but this is worse then anything I've ever experienced. It's been going on for the past 3 weeks and does not feel like it's getting any...
Aw, I'm sorry you're feeling so bad. Trust me, I understand. I've had those days at work too. You feel so horrible, then the tears come which makes you feel worse and embarassed which makes it harder...
Hey Telula...if you change your mind and do need anything that I can provide, please let me know. On some level, I do understand what you're saying. I haven't been able to apply for disability (I...
LMAO...Donna that was great! The fact that I was sitting here, nodding and laughing while I was reading it attests to how true that post is! It's funny but it's so sad that that's really our reality!...
Thanks, SeraSmiles! I would love to hear your thoughts on Social Work since you have Fibro too. I get worried that it will impact my ability to help people......
OMG...I cannot believe the way you were treated not once, but multiple times! That's insane! I do customer service for a job and yes, it's not fun getting calls because lets face it, the only time...
Wow, SeraSmiles...I'm so glad I read this post. I had been going to school for Social Work and have wanted to go back. I'm such a nerd that even though I've been out of school since 2002, I still...
acscr9 - OMG I ADORE One Tree Hill!!! I had Season One and got seasons 2, 3 & 4 for Christmas. I am so in love with Lucas and just want him to end up with Brooke so bad! I can't stand Peyton!!! Yeah...
I LOVE American Idol! I have watched since Season 1! I think all Reality TV makes us feel better because our drama can't compare with theirs :-)...
Ugh I am with you guys! It's SO COLD!!! I know it was below zero when I left for work this morning, and that's not even with the wind chill! I scraped off my car (always fun) and by the time I was...
Karen -- We're going to have an early Spring? God, I hope so. I am not looking forward to the snow they say we are going to be getting. There was a little this morning, but I keep hearing more and...
Lol thank you so much! I'm so sorry you had to go through abuse. It does make me feel a lot better to know that there's someone who understands. Thank you :-)...
Hey Wyld...actually, I live in the suburbs of Detroit, so it's funny you mention that lol. I'm in Farmington Hills, if you know where that is. I'm going to let my boyfriend know tonight about the...
LOL @ Wyld...thanks I needed that :-) Yeah I"m not to fond of the PPO idea either...him just getting served with it will enrage him, for sure. It seems like any thing I do other then arming myself...
Wyld, your post made me tear up! Thank you for everything you said :-) I do need to tell my boyfriend...I just don't want him to worry unnecessarily about me, you know? I'm 99% sure my ex wouldn't do...
Thank you so much...I'm praying he won't actually move back. He says I'm the reason he moved away -- that he had nothing left to stay here for. I"m just terrified he'll come back and try to get in...
/community/emoticons/cry.gif I NEED to find a forum like this where people are always posting and reading and responding. I need to find one for domestic violence. Not because my current bf has done...
You guys are all so great on here. Now I really need your help (not fibro related). /community/emoticons/cry.gif I NEED to find a forum like this where people are always posting and reading and...
I used to be the same way. Honor roll, dean's list, etc. When my ex and I broke up when I was 23, I had to go back to living at home...ugh!!! My mom did the same thing. She made me feel bad for...
I have that CONSTANTLY, it feels like. I'm actually in PT because of it...they say that because of the endometriosis I have (I notice you do as well), that my pelvic floor muscles are tightening up....
Twice baked potatoes??? Oooh, I second that one!...
/community/emoticons/yeah.gif Congratulations Kelly!!! /community/emoticons/yeah.gif I'm so happy for you! I lived with my parents when my ex and I broke up - 1 month and I was so out of there lol....
Awww that's how I am with my kitty! What kind of dog do you have?...
I would be up and on the computer doing that too lol. My family refers to me as the "Google Queen". Anytime I feel anything weird, I'm googling it. Then I'm sure I have whatever it is lol...
Oh that reminds me! I got my ribbon in the mail the other day! Thank you so much for sending it :-) Kathy :-)...
Thank you! I will try that for sure! This stupid Fibro...I never know what's part of it or when to see a doctor or anything!...
My face hurts! It feels kind of like when you stand in the cold for too long and your face starts freezing and just aching....except I'm at work and have been for 4 hours and I'm warm (which is...
I'm so sorry for your bad weekend! If Santa does decide not to come next year, you could always ship those gifts on over here! I'll say thank you for sure! lol...
Oh I am so sorry for you, Kelly. I understand your frustration. My great grandmother fell in her senior apartment complex...she fell in between the toilet and the bathtub and couldn't get up and she...
Hi Karen...yes, I see you on the Fibro board....hello :-) That's the thing...it seems like most people have PTSD that stems from their childhood, but mine is more recent. Mine happened about 6 years...
Hi there.... I'm pretty new to this forum, though I post on the Fibromyalgia forum often. I haven't really posted here because I didn't know how many people were in the same boat as me. If you all...
Yes, I would assume he's referring to a laparoscopy....
Hey there :-) Just because the ultrasound comes up clean, does not mean you don't have endo. The u/s will mostly show if you have cysts or something like that. Endo MUST be diagnosed via laparoscopy....
I have this and I LOVE it! My insurance covered all of it!!! I was shocked because my insurance is pretty crappy - I have a $40 copay every time I go to the doctor, which will be raised to $45 next...
Yes, there is a correlation between endometriosis and fibromyalgia. And I have both, lucky me lol. I know that if you have endometriosis, your risk of having fibromyalgia or CFS doubles or...
I'm trying so hard right now to just not think and wow is that hard. its so weird because i know i have no reason to feel this way but knowing that mentally isn't changing the physical part. i wish i...
I need some help please. I'm sitting at work feeling like I'm in the beginning stages of a panic/anxiety attack. Normally when I get these, it strikes me in my hands and feet first. I start feeling...
How cool that you guys are so close! That really makes this all feel so much more personal rather then just anonymous people on the internet. That's nice :-) I'm with you guys...Florida,...
Hey Danielle :-) Where in Michigan are you at? I'd be psyched to be someplace that doesn't get snow!!!...
Oh how funny! I probably know your son...I used to know pretty much everyone up there! My best friend works at Botsford too! I'm not sure exactly what she does there. Something office-y, I think. Her...
Hey tootie, oh that's so weird! I think it's cool to find someone on here who lives so close. Wow that really makes me feel like I'm not alone with my pain and all of that fun stuff. I just moved to...
Hey Tootiebug...I"m in Oakland county too!!! I'm in Farmington Hills...you? Oh man, I was hoping to do some grocery shopping after work today but if it's that cold already...I don't know. I'm stuck...
I know, there's so much that's coming! Last night they said that it was actually snowing in Vegas! :-O...
I hear you guys! I'm in Michigan and tonight the forecaster said we were having a "Winter Advisory Warning"...whatever the crap that means. All I know is it's cold and windy and wretched here!!! I...
Aw, Kelly I feel horrible for you! I don't know how your relationship was with your mom before the dx, but I would be devastated if my mom said something like that. That's just not right. Are you...
Don't give up. I always knew there was something else wrong with me other then the endometriosis and for so long I was given the "Hypochondriac" label by friends, family, partners, employers, etc....
Oh I hope it's not too bad for you! I understand where you're coming from. I live in Michigan and tomorrow it's going to be a whopping 25 degrees out.....and snow. Yay.......
I called my insurance company to see if it was covered because the physical therapist wanted to give it to me because I'm in therapy for twisted/spasmy pelvic floor muscles that mis-aligned my hips...
I had the exact same thing. Excruciating lower back pain that radiated thru my hips and down thru my legs. I ended up finding out that it was not due to my fibro but actually due to my pelvic muscles...
How did I do it? How did I live without this wonderful TENS unit? Oh lord...I just got one today and this thing is a freakin' god send! Question though...is there anything bad that can happen if you...
