Merfy5 I was going to name my dog Chesney, but it didn't fit her. I like the Z instead of the S...only us die hard Chesney fans can understand! lol...
Missy, I just saw your myspace....I'm a huge Kenny Chesney fan too!! Are you the Missy from the fanclub?...
Hi K9! You will be in my prayers. My Dad used to get really sick after surgeries and these days he's fine afterwards. Best wishes to you!! {{{HUGS}}}...
Wow... this is the answer I got from the massage therapist regarding her experience with fibro patients: Hi. Yes, I have several clients suffering from fibromyalgia. Have you had massage before? Are...
Thank all of you. I do massage what I can get to for myself, but the sound of someone else doing it sounds much better and more relaxing. OMG Rebecca....owie, how awful to have that happen!! I can...
I couldn't help but to ask about massage after reading several posts that mention them. I just cannot fathom the thought of getting a massage, especially when having a flare up. Sometimes I can't...
I've been taking the generic version, Tramadol, for a few years now. I have 50mg tablets that I can take up to 6 times a day. I find when combined with tylenol it works well for everyday aches and...
Hi, I've never used the Bag Baum on myself, but you can find it in the pet departments as well. I have it for my dogs pads when they get cracked in the winter. It works great on them. I use the...
Danielle, My Wheaten Terrier, Bella, will do anything I ask her. The white and brown dog, Sophie, doesn't like any kind of dressing up - especially on her head!! I had to get Bella situated first and...
Hmmm... mine didn't show up as direct links... you'll have to copy and paste... Sorry...
I'll play along. I don't have too many pics of myself as I am the one that is usually behind the camera. But here ya go: Me and my dog swimming http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p2/fibrotina/146.jpg...
Thanks Danielle and Dagger. I can't wait to be a mom!! I know no matter what the road ahead is that nothing would get in my way of being a great mom. I have a lot of support and now I have you...
I'm at the age where my clock is ticking loudly and constantly. I'm 36. My BF and I want to get pregnant this spring/summer. I've heard some stories of how fibro actually "went away" with pregnancy...
I never had any issues with menstrual pain, cramps, fatigue etc. prior to my fibro. A week before my cycle I get bad pains in my lower abdomen, about 2 finger widths in from my hip bone. It lasts...
Hi 3eyesofwisdom! My normal temp runs at 96, and my blood pressure is 90/60 sometimes lower. I don't know if they are related or not. I'm usually colder than the normal person. I LOVE hot weather....
Hello Kitty, {{{{hugs}}}} Sounds like your friend is taking advantage of you and you need to put her in her place. Tell her, nicely, what is on your mind. If she can't at least help you out around...
What's this placard you talk of???...
How Sweet of you Patsie!! Thank you!...
OMG... The Power Nap Capsule is $25,000.00!!...
Hi Donna, I never heard of that company before so I searched it and went to the site. I got a good laugh at some of the items, but wonder if The Six Hour Cordless Heat Therapy Shoulder Wrap really...
Well I called the GI doctor yesterday and they said they haven't gotten anything from my primary doctor, so they know nothing about it. My doctor was not in the office yesterday, but Monday morning I...
Hi Orlo.... Yes the blood was bright red...looked like a clot in it too! You said you talked to 3 doctors... did you ever get any where with them? Did they do any tests?...
Hi everyone, I haven't been on the site in the past few days because I had some health issues. I was, and still am, having stomach pain and rectal bleeding. Sorry, I know it's not the best thing to...
I had to give up my job. My biggest - I've given up taking things for granted. The worst part is being given up on by people who you thought were your friends. Fibro has taught me a lot. It's taken...
Just like all of you, I can go from zero pain to extreme pain in a matter of seconds. I'll have to include a post with my story and how I got diagnosed with fibro, but for the last 10 years I have...
I LOVE pilates!! It took me a little while before I could do the entire DVD. I love Denise Austin. Her voice is soothing, yet she motivates me. I also have the pilates performer machine. I LOVE it. I...
Wow... I am so glad for this topic!! I always complain that I just "don't look the same" as I did before the Fibro. I use to glow and look pretty...without makeup. Now I look dull and plain. Right...
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it! Tina...
I can't remember where I got this, but I have always like it, so I'm sharing it with the rest of you. Hope you like it too. Me and My Shadow The Shadow came knocking at my door a few years ago now....
Hi Margie, Thank you for sharing that with us. I've never heard it before. I plan on making copies and giving one to every family member, friend, and email buddy I have. I have one that stuck with...
I had to put my shoe shopping on hold. Got up today to temps in the teens, snow and hard blowing winds. It's taken it's toll on my body. The fog is very thick upstairs today lol. So today I shall...
I have a pair of crocs too, but my doctor said they weren't good for my feet. I love them though. Wore them a lot last summer. I searched "the athlete's foot" store and found it's in Australia and...
GamJill, The only thing I had issues with, when taking the Lyrica, was they way it made me not be able to actually speak. I kind of had a stutter and my tongue froze. I knew what I wanted to say, but...
Welcome Willie Will!! I am new here too, but not new to Fibromyalgia. I joined the forum yesterday and have already met so many nice and helpful people! There is a ton of information here. {{{hugs}}}...
Ivy, I've never heard of such a thing!! I will have to do some searching, and hopefully if not one here, then one in the city. That would be fantastic!! Is that found in a podiatrists office or who...
Hi WyldOrchid ~ I am having the exact same thing going on in both of my feet!!! I just went to my doctor today and he suggested new walking shoes and gave me, ugh, another pain med. May I ask you...
Ok, so tomorrow I am going shoe shopping. Aimee gave me advice and I plan on checking into all of them....if I can find them in my tiny neck of the woods. My friend works where they sell MBT and...
Aimee...or anyone else.... Ever try the MBT Chapa GTX Fitness Walking Shoe?? What are your thoughts on these shoes?...
Jenna, Aimee and Sherrine, Thank you all for the warm welcome!! I have been taking advantage of the prior posts and the Spoons Theory...wow... that made me cry while reading it. I've done a lot of...
