You are right about grieving folks A_V, and honestly I am glad she isnt coming if helping me change creeps her out...its better for both of us if she doesnt come then because she would freak and I...
Aww thank you. Yeah I could definitely use a break. I probably shouldnt have done this but I googled radial nerve damage which is why my hand wont move.The results were very bleak. Lots of folks...
Its been a while since I posted, mostly because I was busy with work but also because I have been doing pretty well. Got my fm under control mostly with cymbalta. But then this week happened and I...
I had a GOOD day! I know I usually come on here and whine so I figured for once I'd say something positive :) This morning I found out some GREAT news and I've been so happy about it all day it's...
Thx guys, Yeah I got rolling on that worry wheel. Feeling a little better thx :) I went to my urologist yesterday and he gave me some hydrocodone and nausea meds. So I called the pain mgmt doc up and...
Hi guys - Been a few days since I posted... I had my lithotripsy and have been recovering. The first night was horrid because the doc didn't think I'd need nausea meds ... needless to say that was a...
Thx guys :) Today I had my pre-op tests and had to pick up groceries to last through the surgery recovery. Then I crashed and slept for 8 hrs I was so exhausted. Pain is so tiring! From what I...
Thx for the suggestions Karen and Maggie :) You guys are great. I've had a rough couple of days ... I'd say it's getting better but it kinda goes back and forth on that front. I feel more clear...
Hmm - maybe I can do it with nurse shoes. Not sure how much standing there will be exactly - there may be chairs. But it involves customer service... something I can handle via phone but I have a...
Thank you :) I just got called about a job and have an interview on Monday. Considering most of today I've been barely lucid this should be interesting. And here's hoping I don't start screaming in...
Thanks guys :) I know I write a lot, kind of a bad habit of mine. My friends love to tease me about the 20 page emails I send them. Well today is day one without fentanyl but I have other meds so...
That's right - forgot to update on the traffic court thing - they let me off the hook :) Since I had no priors - they didn't even bother with asking for my story they just saw that I resolved...
Hey guys - I wanted to follow up. First off, meant to reply earlier - Maggie, I have 2 yorkie-poodles (sisters from the same litter). I have been a bad doggie-mama this week and haven't taken her to...
Oh and I also forgot to mention - I got my dog tested for heartworms back in November so I think she's ok. They did a chest xray though and said her heart was just a bit enlarged - still within safe...
Hey folks, Thanks again for your support :) I'll go backward replying... Somedude - the license thing basically comes from me being stupid and never getting a VA license when I moved to VA 2 yrs ago....
Doc can't help ... gave another doc name... but I'm pretty sure I already tried his office before.... more runaround for nothing thx guys for your support but "It's Genetic" - might want to learn a...
I've posted on here before but I can't remember what I said last time - all I remember is that it seemed helpful to "talk" so I figured I'd do that again. It's the same problems they aren't going...
Hi :) I actually don't have RA but I have a friend that does. I'm going to suggest she check out this forum but I figured to start I'd ask you guys for any suggestions for natural over the counter or...
I'm sure this subject has come up before but as I couldn't find it I figured I'd post again. Magnesium supplements are supposed to help with Fibromyalgia - and apparently they also help with my...
Today I babysat for my friend, taking care of her 18 month old son for 3 hours. He could not be any more well behaved - a total angel. No fussing, no fits, just playing with toys and letting me read...
I'm with Maggie and Karen on this - I had to see a PT after a foot surgery. His opinion was basically - suck it up, why are you whining so much? But I knew something had to be off because for all of...
BunBun- I missed a point in my description above... the rheumy WILL prescribe meds - just no narcotics and I was already on narcotics before getting fibro so I guess she saw it as prescribing it for...
Thank you guys - those are good tips - and it's really good to know that about anesthesiologists because I've found a ton of those but haven't tried them because I figured it was just ppl who knock...
Hey folks - I'm having a bit of a tough time finding a pain management doctor. First off, I have fibromyalgia and medullary sponge kidney - I actually had a pain mgmt doc BEFORE I was diagnosed with...
Hey guys - I'm new to the forum and of course to this thread but I felt like I should add a note here regarding Randall's Plaque. I have Medullary Sponge Kidney and while I'm certain no doctor I'd...
Hi maezyaya, I've noticed the same thing. I used to wear a watch and bracelets all the time but now they just drive me crazy (from just irritating to painful aching). I also can't wear certain socks...
Hi guys - I'm new to the forum and this is my first post here on the fibromyalgia board so... hi :) Izzy - I'm in the same boat as you - I just recently applied for disability in November. Like the...
Thanks Karen for that link! I hadn't seen that before - great stuff! Also I feel like in case anyone else may be reading this thread that is in a similar financial situation I should post this:...
Thank you all so much - I really and truly appreciate your support. Overall I had been doing pretty well handling the stress and had been keeping pretty busy (even if just running errands, hanging...
I'm new to this forum and it may be bad to just unload but I'm kind of lost and could really use some help. I'm 34, live on my own, and for the last four years I've had chronic pain - I have...
