We watch The office, Big bang theory, Hoarders, Oddities, Storage wars and a few other's. Usually a movie though. I hear ya, most days I manage to do alot more, just the past few days have been...
Hey Tanya, Yeah, this winter has been really bad for me. I am so achey and sore the past 2 days. Hips, back, inside of my knees. I can't get comfotable when I sleep and wake up so achey after about 2...
Thank you, I'm glad I helped :) You'll get there, as I'm learning to do myself, try to take things one day at a time. It's good to look ahead, just not too far :) Better to take each day as they...
Sorry Jamie, Hope you can get some rest. What if you tried making a new email with a different company and see if that works just until you get the other one straitened out? Just fumbling for an...
I know it sounds easier said than done, but I wouldn't try to figure out your mistakes- we all make them, no use going backward. Look ahead instead. That means cutting off all communication with him...
Hope so Jamie! Miss you too. Hope you get some sleep soon ;)...
Hope you have a blast Robin!! :) Sounds like fun!...
Hi life, Please try not to feel worthless or ashamed. You had no way of knowing. You loved and trusted him and at the time, you didn't have any reason not to. Personally, I think he's the one who...
2thebitterend, I hope you get some relief soon too!! That's nice that your admininistrator was so nice and understanding. Hopefully you'll be able to return after you get everything sorted out with...
Oh Sherrine, I'm so sorry! I was crying reading that. Pets become such a big part of our lives and hearts. I'm glad she won't suffer and that you didn't have to make that decision. Wishing you...
2the bitterend, Omg, I really feel for you, I'm so sorry you've had to suffer so much too. I'm so glad you decided to see another Dr. Sometimes Dr's just don't have enough experience and then there...
So nice to meet you also! And yes, I'm here to talk anytime you need to. I really symapathize with you- too well in fact ;) I used to take up to 20 ibuprofren a day (useless) My Gyn couldn't believe...
Sorry! I meant to address that to scmarks! Too early and not enough coffee :)...
Hi Angelina, welcome :) I'm glad you found this forum- even if you haven't been diagnosed with fibro yet, it's still a great place to get support and learn as much as you can about things you can do...
Hi 2thebitterend, welcome :) Yes, you are making sense (unfortunately)Alot of what you said sounds very familiar. I'm sorry you're experiencing all of these things. I really hope you can get answers...
LOL!:D Good, I'm glad you're getting some help. Hope you have a good day....
Sorry- must have been writing that as you were and you beat me to it! $43 too much?!? That's crazy that they can't let that slide. How about food banks?...
I know Maggie, Things are hard here with money too. We're on one income (I don't work either) and it's really stressful, not to mention, always feeling guilty at how hard my boyfriend works and I'm...
Stephen, Your post was beautifully written and for some reason, made me tear up. Guess it's one of those overly emotional days lol, but what you wrote is true. Maggie- you ARE a really kind and good...
Are any of you taking Savella by any chance? My scalp started itching a couple weeks after I started taking it so I looked it up and sure enough! Alot of other people online were complaining about it...
Hi Michele- welcome :) I hope you find the right Dr. and get to the bottom of it soon. It can be a very lengthy and difficult process. I just finally got an official dx myself. I agree with Sherrine...
Hi Annie- welcome :) I hope that fibro isn't the case for you, however, as stated above, there are many worse things and it can be managed. I'm new to all this myself, so still trying to find what...
I agree with Sherrine. Mine was doing that and making weird noises and I was also experiencing other stomache issues. I had an endoscopy and there were a few things wrong, nothing major, but this...
Me three. Wish I had something more to suggest. Just remember we're here for you....
Hi Life, I believe that what he said to you was out of desperation and anger (this does not excuse it) No matter his reasons, would it be enough for you to realize that you deserve better and do not...
I am too Stephen. It's been incredible to watch your journey through this and you've come really far! I know it's not easy, but try not to think the worst. I think if she weren't interested, she...
Hi Klambert, We all react differently, but I'm with Sherrine, they would have to carry me out of there. My new Dr I see for fibro told me in his experience that his patients with fibro usually only...
Hi Chelle- welcome :) It's so frustrating trying to find Dr's who understand. It's easy for them to say things like that when they aren't the one dealing with it. I'm glad you found this forum. i...
I take it and am currently weening off of it (it's my second attempt) First time I had to stop it due to nausea, dizziness and headaches. My new Dr wanted me to give it another go and titrate up...
Hi and welcome! This is a great place for support and for lot's of helpful info. Glad you joined!...
Hi Maggie, I wanted to check on you and see how you're doing today?...
Sorry you're struggling with so much at the moment Jamie. It can get very overwhelming at times. Michelle had some good advice, you deserve a YOU day. Know that we're here for you. Hope you can get...
Hi Connie, I might have? I saw it under someone's name and have always liked Lewis Carroll. I think it pertains to most of us here lol. If you'd prefer, I could change it....
Dw, In case you read this, I wanted to check on you. Please know that we care and hope you'll keep posting....
We're here to support you all the way Maggie. Lean on us as heavily as you need to. You're always so supportive of others and like you told me, sometimes we need some support ourselves. Stay strong!...
Thank you Karen :) Hugs to you too!!...
Maggie, I am sooo sorry you're going through this :( You deserve a life that is calm and stable and more conducive to your needs with your health. I wish I had some advice to offer, other than what...

I hope you get it figured out and feel better especially so you can enjoy your trip. Definately keep us posted. I'm here anytime even if you need to just vent. Hope you start to feel better soon!!...
Thank you Karen, You're right. I will get stronger as time goes by. One day at a time is my new mantra :) Thank you for your support. Hope you are doing well....
Beautifully written Jamie. And I agree, we are all a work in progress.Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insight with us :)...
Dw, I hope you do too. I won't say any of those things to you, in fact I'm not very good with words now anyway. But I care. And I know ultimately we're all 'in this alone' as in our own seperate...
Thank you Karen, Sorry you had to go through that too. Almost every therapist I've seen has told me that I might have to do this for my own sanity. Problem is, neither of my brothers have anything to...
Thank you Jamie!! I'll remember what you said and keep taking it one day at a time. Thank you for your support!...
Aww thank you Maggie, That meant so much to hear that. I do try to put on a brave face. Most times I really mean it too. But lately I haven't even been giving as much support because I don't feel...
Hey everyone, Have been a tad quiet lately. Things haven't been going especially well. Alot of recent stress...too much really. Stress and anxiety wreck havoc on my body. Have been having alot of...
I hope you get it figured out. I have it too and had an endoscopy which showed lot's of not so fun GI problems, hiatal hernia...the works. Also have irritable bowel. So for me, I think that's what's...
Stephen, I'm so happy that your date went well. Hey, did you notice that? I said your date :) You were always so hard on yourself about not having ever had one. Well now you have, and you should be...
Hi Sassy, I really empathize with you. It's been an EXTREMELY long and frustrating process for me and I'm still in the midst of finding the right Dr's. It's been implied and even flat out told to me...
Hormone testing is a good place to start. Are you going to see an endocrinologist? They will test your cortosol levels which can cause the abdomen to bloat and become distended. You mentioned gastro...
