I really don't have time for a group, for I take care of my husband. Some days are worse than others, like Monday, but taking care of him takes my mind off myself and that salve is sticky, but it sure works and I can't take a relaxant that will pu...
WELCOME TO OUR NEW MEMBERS AND THANK YOU FOR FEELING COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO SHARE WITH US. YOU ARE SAFE HERE.
Hello, y'all,
Clarissa, thank you for the invite. I was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia after years and years of complaining to numerous doctors about pain, memory problems and fatigue. I had many complaints and thinks that's why some docs may...
As a 17 yr.survivor of Fibromyalgia and CFIDS, I want to create a space in which those of you who suffer may find a place to share ideas, products or techniques which have helped to improve your life and most of all a place to talk and share hope.
I've been away from the Bonnie community for a long time - have even given up most of my on-line activities, including the Fibrohugs.org site - a great site for anyone with or who knows someone with fibro, CFS, MS, Lupus, etc. That site has done m...
I just want to share some things with you, my friends. Many of you are thinking back to when you first got sick and the cause of it all. From all that I've learned Fibromyalgia can be set off by sickness, emotional stress, accidents and I'm sure m...
As I read the post from the last couple of days it makes me also think about the fact that I probably inherited this from my mother. Who use to have anxiety attacks over us kids and going to bed and being blamed by my dad that I had made her sick....
Catherine, I am so sorry for the loss of someone so dear. I'll write you in your inbox.
Catherine, sending my deepest sympathies and prayers to you and your family. I have lost all my grandparents years ago, and it is very hard, it is like you're saying goodbye to the childhood you shared with them.
hope you feel better , at least ph...
Thank all of you for your prayer. Our beloved granny went to be with the Lord this morning. She looked just like she was sleeping and so much at peace. I know she is not suffering anymore and as much as I know we are going to miss her she is at re...
what is a compound drug store? is that a prescription gel?
The perscription that has helped me the most is Ketoprofen 20%/Lidocain 5% Gel. You can only get it at a compound drug store. They're hard to find

Gayla R. Siebert said… - Hi, my name is Gayla Siebert. I am really new at this (being in a group, not having FM). I have had FM for the past 10 years. I also have migraines. Some days, like today, I accomplish nothing, don't even get out of my PJ's. I enjoy the comments of the other people and will continue to share. God bless all.

- Clarissa, thank you for the nice messsage, my mom has been odered to get a walker, so she does'nt fall again, and i'm doing great, thanks for asking!!! I have to remember to breathe deep as when in such pain, i find i'm taking such shallow breaths all the time, even holding my breath too, so i am glad you mentioned the breathing excercises to the group, we can get so used to "not breathing right" while in pain or stressed or both, we probably all do it to some degree, so thanks for the tip, i'm doing my excersises right now, i send warm thoughts and many blessings my dear friend, take care!!

- Clarissa, ahhh, i hurt bad and am a bit whiny today, feel nauseous, fluish, hi temp, all typical days, no money is prob the worst thing right now, but thanks for your concern, i did do something proactive for myself, am going to maximize the money situation as far as ssi goes, i dont get all i'm entitled to so if i got more then i could help myself more, and i dont know if i'm supposed to vent here, but it sure feels horrible to find out my mom and sisters think i'm making up my illness and portrayed me as having something weird wrong with me and suggested to my daughter in med school, that what i have wrong is only social and maebe that scary thing only weirdos get, "depression", i have been commended for my social work in the community, been in theatre, sang, gee, no problem being social here, dang, so my granddaughter laughs as she hears this, knows it's ridiculous, how humiliating, it's hard not to care what they say, and oh i know i can't fix it or change it, why even try or get upset??

- Clarissa, hi, how are you today? I think this site and just being able to talk to someone who "gets it" has been very medicinal for me, everyone is helpful and considerate, my daughter is a psychologist and likes the idea of me reaching out to learn and share, i've always been a caregiver and no surprise here, i did'nt stop to help myself, then i collapsed and had to take notice, bet we all can relate to that, oh, wanted to ask if anybody's heard of or had steroid treatment for fibro? I had 50 tabs day, prescribed, 3 courses of treatment, now i have brittle bones, teeth are falling out, osteoarthritis, arthritis, i'm literally falling apart, and the steroids mess with ur emotions big time, and this was a rheumatology clinic famous for treating fibro, anyone care to comment, i want to hear from you, sorry i got so long winded, i'm letting go a bit, lol, take care!!

- I thank you for accepting me as a friend. And I shall try to live up to our friendshipe. With an occassional humor looking at our special gift. No matter how it takes up and down and all around the time. From the meds to fogs to colds we didn't see coming and the sleepless nights that turns into days. To tired moment and the to those meds that don't work at all to the new things we try any how. I will do my best to be a good friend with a grin.
