Hello Jessa, I'm so sorry this happened to you! :( How sad that you want so much to work and they won't let you! Recently, I read an article in a magazine at a doctor's office and found this listed...
Thanks everyone. I appreciate your responses. I KNOW I didn't injur it. It does seem to be getting better. I'm limping a little, but I can get around now. It's very strange. It is now intermittent...
Hello Everyone, I hope you had a wonderful holiday! Did you enjoy your day? I am having a major problem with my left ankle area today. It must be Fibro, because I didn't injur it and there is no...
Oh, Fmmom, I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope it's not Fibro. :( My growing pains as a child were only in my legs. I'm not sure if it's normal to have them in the chest & shoulders. A couple of...
Robin, I'm glad to hear you got much needed sleep. I am sorry that your flare is persisting, however. I hope it calms soon. I think those who posted about the weather may be right. Each year, my...
Hello All, Well, I can see from your responses that I'm certainly not alone. It sounds like you've all experienced new and different pain after having this for a while. Thank you for responding; I'm...
Hello Everyone, After having this thing for two years, I thought I knew the range of pain that Fibro could throw at me. I thought the pain I'd experienced during flares was as bad as it was going to...
Thank you all so much for your feedback. I really do appreciate it. I guess, deep down, I didn't really trust that it would be the answer we've all been searching for. There was a little part of me...
Hello, I hope you are all doing well today! I was wondering if anyone here has, or knows someone who has, gone to one of these centers for treatment? If so, was it worth the effort / money? I found...
Great article, Jokat, thank you!...
Hi Hope4, I've felt like that on a regular basis since day 1 of Fibro. Often, I feel like I am right in the middle of the 80th rep of lifting a weight.......
Welcome, Reenie! /community/emoticons/smilewinkgrin.gif ...
Since I am flaring at the moment, I can answer this one... For me, a flare is a lot like what Marlee described. It feels like a combination of a) the way you feel after a really hard workout, when...
Austin, I LOVED that! Thank you so much for sharing, what a wonderful quote! /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
Wow, Statgeek, I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. Your reaction to your enormous amout of stress is understandable!! I am also sorry that your children have been unable to see how much you...
Welcome Ladygkp! I haven't noticed any difference in my symptoms by eating more of, or refraining from, any particular food. I do know that Jokat swears that cheeseburgers & Diet Coke are...
Thank you again, everyone. You all helped me very much. :) We've been talking quite a bit since. Last night, we both finally opened up about things that have been bothering us over the last several...
Oooh, yes, Upbeat, I get the chills something awful! It is one of my least favorite symptoms of this disorder. I get them so bad, I have little choice but to curl up under about 8 tons of blankets...
Hello Everyone, Thank you again. You are all such amazing people!! I am so lucky to have found this place. My husband has been trying to be very sweet, since the incident. He has told me he loves me...
KGood, thank you for your response. You really helped me. It is nice to know that I'm not alone. Mamanan - thank you for your post; I guess you are right, it could have happened to anyone. My husband...
Coach, I wanted to drop in and say "Hi". I am so glad that you came here for friendship. I have to say, I am so glad that I have this place to come to. There are some really amazing people on here. I...
Mamanan, I really liked your post! Thank you so much for sharing. :)...
Thank you for your responses. I really do appreciate it. My husband has since apologized for yelling so much. He found me in the bedroom sobbing. I kept crying and could not stop. He held me for a...
Hi, I am usually cheery when I post here, but I am unbelievably sad, depressed and sick to my stomach at the moment. I wasn't sure where else to go, so I decided to post here. My son started a new...
P.S. I also want to say, Sherrine, that you are a wonderful moderator and you have helped so many - including me! I look forward to reading your responses to everyone's posts, including my own. :)...
Robin, I, for one, LOVE your positive posts!! They really help me, as do others' positive posts. It is what helps me make it through when I'm feeling down and in a lot of pain. :) Thank you....
I am SO sorry to hear that, Sherrine! I am sorry that you missed out on something you were really looking forward to. :( I know how hard Fibro-fog is and you are right - it DOES stink!! It causes me...
Ok, thanks Jokat, I'll try that. I have lots of problems w/ my wrists & hands getting fatigued - maybe that will help. dn527 - thanks for posting! That's ok that you had a lot to say. :) Mine started...
I swear, when I first started reading this, I thought you were suffering from Fibro-Fog & it was causing you to make errors...so it took me a while to get it! :-)...
Jokat, thanks for putting that Voodoo doll back up on the shelf....tell me, what curse caused pins and needles?? Or, were you just sticking pins in, willy nilly? LOL! Mamanan - that sounds scary!! I...
I'm so sorry you are sore, Sue, and for your fall! It is a pretty funny story, though, except for your pain. :)...
I am so glad to hear she is doing so well now, Sherrine. I'm very sorry it happened, but happy she is recovering quickly....
Thanks, everyone! :) I appreciate your concern and your responses. Jokat, you are too funny....super-coolness, LOL! I did see my doctor. He did not believe it was stroke related. He mentioned the...
I just called my doctor and he asked me a bunch of questions, then said that I can wait to come in until tomorrow...unless the other symptoms he mentioned start or the numbness gets worse, then I...
Are these Fibro symptoms? Last night, my right leg started to feel numb. It was numb all day today too, not so much that I couldn't walk, but enough to be annoying. No pins and needles. Then, a few...
Congratulations!!!! I am so happy for your new family. :)...
I just listened to the acoustic version on youtube... /community/emoticons/cry.gif ...
Oh, wow, was that sad in that context! I've heard the song, but never read the lyrics before. Thank you for sharing what this song makes you think of, Jokat. I know Rob Thomas's mother had cancer; I...
Nana Monster, I really like you!! You have that sarcastic wit that I find endearing!! :)...
Hara, I'm glad you are feeling better too. I am ok now. I snapped out of it a little while after I posted. I reminded myself that fibro-fog errors do not mean that I am incompitent or a failure. I am...
Thanks, everyone. :) I'm ok now; I'm feeling better....
Sounds like a great invention!...
Thanks, everyone! /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
Nana Monster, you certainly paint a clear picture of what your flares feel like!! To this day, I cannot describe what my flares feel like. It's almost as if a billion parasites are invading my body...
I am so sorry your doctor was that insensitive. /community/emoticons/mad.gif I hope you are able to find a better doctor soon who is more caring. Take care........
How wonderful! I love upbeat posts like this. /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
Hello Everyone, I work in an industry where being correct is paramount. Down the smallest detail, everything needs to be correct. When I'm flaring, I tend to make errors with these small details, or...
Donnaeil, I'm a 36 year old mom & work full time...so no work study. :) But, they did give me a grant for part time. :)...
Donna, you are too funny! LOL My flares are unpredictable as well. They usually last quite a while, but not all the time....
I'm so sorry to hear that, Chutz!! :( I will definately pray for Dori and her baby. My heart goes out to all of you!!...
