I take it, in fact, it was only recently that it was prescribed, and it was like pulling teeth to get it. Now I'm afraid that I won't have an alternative. I liked it because I could take it and still...
I would be very careful what you discuss with your employer when it comes to a disability or a chronic illness. Most states are "At Will" states, which means, that they can let you go for whatever...
I too love our motorcycle rides. It is one of the few things I refuse to give up, no matter how much I hurt afterwards. I love riding on the back of my husbands because no one else has to be...
Except for my husband and two children, people think I have RA. I won't put myself or my family through the ridicule of saying that I have Fibro. I know it's wrong, but I want to remain credible. ...
ROLF****!!!!! I remember that episode and it's classic! hahahahahahaha...

It is common for me to have a 3 month wait to see my PCP, let alone, a specialist! I keep saying that if people really want government healthcare, this problem will only get worse!!...
It would be horrible for the tender points test to be eliminated. That plus the fact that I don't remember dreams was how I was diagnosed. If not for the tender points test, I think I might still be...
I am not taking any meds, and I had my thyroid checked in March, with everything else. There is hypothyroid in my family, but my neck is not swollen, plus the blood tests in March would have...
I have gained 10 lbs this week. The clothes I wore on Monday, are not the same clothes I can wear today. It is all accumulating around my mid section. I look 9 months pregnant, and that's impossible!...
Please read the forum rules...Rule #2....
I've had eye twitching before while under stress. My father, who lived 700 miles from me, was dying from cancer, and I couldn't be there with him. My eye twitched so bad at times I could barely see...
I sleep on a ing size, full-wave, heated waterbed with a 3" memory foam mattress. It is awsome!!! I hate sleeping anywhere else but at home!...
AustenFan said... Great article. If only we could bottle our pain to dole out to non-believers (only for a day though; I wouldn't wish this long-term on anyone). Hugs - Austen That's one of the...

Karen, keep going on the non-smoking thing! I quit cold turkey on April 15, 2010, and for 4 days, I was a witch, to put it very nicely! After that, I had no problems. I haven't snuck one drag from...
Is there any other group of people with problems who have to keep moving or else they hurt? I'm tired of always having to move. To me, it's a double-edged sword. If we don't move, we hurt, if we move...
I would like to take my walks while folding my arms, but I know that because I'm such a clutz, I'd fall, and not be able to catch myself! hahaha I too feel this. It feels like my arms are being...

I bet it was wonderful to spend time with the grandbaby! I am excited to hopefully become a granny soon! I will do anything and go through any amount of pain to spend time with them. I'll pay later,...
I hope tomorrow will be totally different for you and your pain has subsided!...
Hey Dot, I agreee that the high heat and humidity have a lot to do with how poorly I feel. I also feel really bad if I get into a really how shower or bath....
Achy, because of the problems being on one side, they were thinking I had one-sided MS! To this day, I don't know why it is like this. No one has an answer. I told myself that I will give the Vitamin...
You are in my prayers!...
I just wanted to say Hello from a 45 year old female! I was diagnosed with Fibro last month, after seeing different docs since Feb. I realize that this is short, compared to many of you, but it...
