If you drink coffee, tea, soda, or eat much chocolate you need to stop for a while and see if that helps you sleep also....
There are many SS lawyers out there. One of them would surely listen to you and give you a clue as to whether you have a chance or not and will take the case for a percentage of the proceeds you get...

Myjoy...I used to be a long haul driver. I teamed with my husband but had to quit this year and now I find I am very leary of driving myself anywhere. Part of it is my blood sugar but alot of it is...
LOL Sherrine! Gotta say that's one we ALL understand!! Thanks for the laugh!...

This year there will just be four of us at the table..but we're planning on having a festival Thanksgiving. Trying a couple of new vegetable recipes that I think will be good. Tried my hand at making...
I let my body decide this for me. If it wants to relax at night I let it...if it's morning then that's when it happens for me ;)...
I take 300 mg twice a day and take it during the day also...am going to get it upped to 600 twice a day though if I can. I had a hard time staying awake at first but soon my body got used to...
Me too Crazykitty...I would put up all the pretty garlands and decorate our home with a huge tree. I made fudge for all my friends and plenty for home and family for the holidays. I'd buy pretty...
Aren't those the ones made out of brown paper???? I see men using them on the city streets sometimes. I think it's an "as seen on tv" item... :D...
I for one will be asking my doctor to be tested for this. What is one more blood test? And if it helps..wow!...
Not only can I not open jars, it also hurts just to touch things. It seems like they are getting worse to me also. Doc says it's the fibro....
I love to sing in Karaoke! But dont do that anymore....
When I first came down with this I couldnt even use a blanket at night I hurt so bad with it on me. I'd take a hot hot bath just so I could get to sleep and it helped but found I was taking so many...
Patsie...you can buy the stands that hold a blow dryer in place. Or if it's a bonnet type flexible dryer I noticed one in a catalogue just recently. They also had the "salon style" dryers that you...
I'm from CA..Northern part. All we had in winter was the rain. I love a rainy afternoon with thunder rolling across the skies and wind blowing! But in MO it does concern me because now I live in...
Don't be frightened hon. We've all been through the med thing. If it seems to aggravate you in any way just see your doctor or call him and tell him about it and he will try something else. Some meds...
I use memory foam and a soft cushiony mattress pad...without either I couldnt sleep in my bed...
Marriage is like a warm fuzzy blanket...
From what I've read here the answer is yes we do qualify if your doctor will approve it. But others I'm sure would have the definitive answer....
I have a pumpkin pie story...one year I made a delicious looking pumpkin pie...it looked and smelled just yummy. My nephew who was a teenager at the time took the first piece. He made such a face! I...
Gee Vestabula...if I ever need to torture someone I'll come to you :D...
It's happened to me too. Last couple of nights I was kept awake by it..each time I started to drift off it would happen again. Had to get up and wait till I was good and tired before I could finally...

Yes...stabbing pains here also...my feet mostly...and I yelp like a whipped puppy......
Chutz...could you have an alergy that comes this time of year and causes the headaches? I know just what you mean about that arm pain...mine is from my elbow to the tips of my fingers. It hurts so...
Not just you. My fingers are so sore lately that I cant stand to use my hands for anything. Just touching the keys lightly on this keyboard hurts right now....
I understand exactly how you feel about the meat. And although my previous statement may have come across as though I eat healthy, I would just as soon have a batch of pancakes with a cup of syrup...
Tyno I feel the same at times. I sometimes gag at the thought of meat for supper. I can eat vegetables and cereal, as you said. If meat is in spaghetti I'll eat it. But the thought of a chop or just...
Akron...
Any childhood year but it would have to be at Thanksgiving time. When all our family got together and ate and laughed. If I could relive one of those I would be very happy indeed....

I have fibro but not ms...on the other hand my sister in law has ms and not fibro. We often find that our pains are very similar. The only way she knows the difference is that she has her doctor tell...
Treebo I like the idea of taking pics as you walk and downloading them. And I agree that we are entering a new stage of our lives. There are meals on wheels for those who cant feed themselves. and...

No hon...you're certainly not the only one. It took me a year and a half and at least 4 doctors to find out. The last doctor treated me for every ailment except what I had gone in there for and...
It might be time for a second opinion?? A rheumatologist perhaps?...
/community/emoticons/smile.gif Thank you everyone for your replies! I agree..it must have been the low sugar that caused the accident but the spacing out thing is still worrying me. It's happened so...
