Just letting y'all know I haven't forgotten about you. It's been a very busy week. (((huggles to all))) Just thought I'd stop in & say hello before I head off to work. :smilewinkgrin:...
I have had a super busy day & only just now got online a little after 7PM. Sorry for getting this started so late. I had to go to a meeting today at work, which was pretty much just common sense...
I danced at practice tonight, and then I came home & walked on the treadmill for 40 minutes & did some stretching. I then enjoyed some beef & broccoli from the Chinese place down the street. mmmmm...
puppylover, thanks for that. I'd heard about an hour a day myself. Some days that's just not possible, though, but it is definitely something to work towards if you are able. I can do that 2 or 3...
I was just diagnosed a couple of weeks ago, but in all likelihood I've had it for many many years....
Just getting this thread started before I head off to bed. I'm really looking forward to tonight. Troupe practice starts up again. I'm so looking forward to getting together with everybody. A few of...
That can be a symptom of lupus. Have you been checked for that ? It can also just be stress related, or perhaps dietary....
Marlee, I'll send you a message in a sec. Now I'm curious just how close you are. :smilewinkgrin: I wound up being out & about most of the day, but I did set aside some time when I got home late...
OMG !!! Vesta, you have me cracking up. I can just picture you sitting there puffing out this white stuff with wide eyes freaking out :shocked: That's awesome, thanks for the laugh. :yeah:...
Hello all my brothers & sisters in Fibro. Here's hoping you have a wonderful day. I had a nice night last night. I did yoga (like I'd posted I would yesterday) at my mom's house (Leslie Sansone's...
You guys are doing great ! Keep moving, it's good for the spirit. (((huggles to all)))...
Whatever you can do is what you can do, sweetie. A stationary bike is nothing to sneeze at. Heck, if all you did was 5 minutes on that to warm up & 5 minutes of stretching that's still an...
Since I'm a 3rd shifter & I'm up right now, I figured since it's technically very early Tuesday morning I'd go ahead & get this thread started for today. So, what was your exercise for today...
I'm at work right now. I have 30 minutes until I need to start setting out breakfast for the hotel guests. I just worked an hour & a half at carrying laundry down the hallway to the downstairs...
Sherrine, I love Leslie Sansone ! Over at VF (videofitness.com) we call her new studio the bat cave, though. LOL It seems all of her new releases are in that bat cave of a studio. Still, I love alot...
Ok, I've calmed down & did get some sleep. I didn't know ANA's were so unreliable....
He thinks I have Lupus. I am freaking right out. My Dr. said he didn't think I had it, but ran a test for it anyway along with a panel for a bunch of other autoimmune disorders. I thought my RF...
Wow, Robin. (((huggles))) Resistance training is supposed to be good for osteoporosis, but I don't know how it affects a person once it's severe. Does your Dr. have you on a regimen of...
awe, honey. (((huggles))) Yeah, my house is a mess too. Hubby's starting to do more now that he understands why I never want to clean. I do the cat litter boxes, vacuum, and do laundry. If I do...
well, the only thing bootcamp about that DVD is the clothing ! LOL It's just a mix of interval hi-lo cardio, it's not that tough. I used to lift weights too & miss it. I'd say any kind of...
I like coffee, both fully leaded & decaf. Fully leaded seems to make my pain level worse sometimes, so I try to limit it to just when I'm working (3rd shift) or one day during the week at home....
I thought this would be a good idea, to have a daily thread for folks to check in with what they did for exercise that day. With having Fibro we need to be sure to get in some activity to be sure we...
Awe, that's so sweet. I love that *48 minutes* thing. LOL...
Yeah, I'm in Peoria, IL & we have sheets of ice everywhere. I drove out in it this morning to go watch my nephew while my mom went to get my sister & her new baby from the hospital. Then, I came back...
I've seen Avatar twice in 3D & not had dizziness issues. I will say, though, that when I got to go see (for free & with backstage passes to meet the group via a family member of one of the members of...
(((huggles))) to all of you....
While not really about fibromyalgia, it still speaks to those who have illnesses & so called limitations. You should never give up hope, no matter how bleak it seems. You'll see a pic in this...
I was the one my sister chose to be in the delivery room with her when she had her baby. I held her leg, held her hand, encouraged her, ..... I watched my niece being born & I got to cut the...
I'm just waiting for my mom to call, she said in about 20 minutes she'll be taking my sister to the hospital. (her hubby is in Mexico waiting to get the ok to come into the country, he was here...
That page was awesome. Thanks for sharing ! :smilewinkgrin: ETA : I have to say, I'm so sorry to hear of people's hubbies who doubt their pain. My hubby, when I was too tired to just pick up the...
yes, I will certainly pray for them....
You guys are so awesome. (((((huge huggles)))))...
I work 3rd shift on weekends, Saturday through Monday. There's a major sports event in town bringing over 30,000 people to our area, so our hotel will be full. Lovely. I'm glad we get the business,...
Hey, I really like that ! That's so true, in pain while at work or play. Ya gotta be strong....
Thanks, Robin. :) Speaking of being active, I need to get off my butt & move around a bit....
I've been reading the Fibro 101 links & it sounds like my TMJ & neck pain going back 10 years probably points to me having Fibro for a long time, just undiagnosed & getting worse this...
Thanks, Chutz (((huggles)))...
I'm so sorry for your loss. Yes, I will certainly pray for the family....
Yep, I've been taking Vit. D3 for months, along with fish oil, vegetarian glucosamine (to help with the cartilege healing with the costochondritis), a multivitamin. I haven't thought about...
I found the Chronic Pain forum through google yesterday, and have been reading this Fibro forum too. I thought since I posted in the other forum I'd quickly post here too & say hello. I was...
Awe, Dani, you seem very sweet. Thank you for the kind welcome. Michael, thank you for the encouragement. It does look like a very nice site. I just woke up. (3rd shift worker, so even on my days off...
My Dr. started me on 30 for 7 days, and then will step me up to 60. I saw the forum for Fibro, and have been reading there too. I also have TMJ disorder, have had it for almost 10 years, and have had...
I'm not going to post a whole lot, just yet, since I don't want my first post here to be overwhelming & also most likely repetetive. I know that happens alot on most message boards, folks come in...
