Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Tonni,What you are feeling now very well could be a rebound from those 2 weeks of feeling good and overdoing it. Maybe if you take it easy and rest up those good days will come back.. This could just be you hurting from overexertion. We have all done it. Rest up and see what happens... sound good?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 TonnieYou really must have huge difficulty with your handicap child. I'm feeling for ya.Something that I was forced to do about my health, was literally realize that I was grieving the loss of it. At the time that I came to see this, I was in a resentful stage. However, just as I finished working on the 5 stages, I had a whole new thing handed to me. It was the clinical trial that I participated in, in 2009. That in itself caused a whole new set of problems and health issues. Also, this past year, 2010, my whole life has been dumped upside down.However, one thing that I am grateful for, is that I don't have Hep C any longer. Yup, I still have Fibro; but, I've pretty much learned what I can and can't do. Even silly things like running down the stairs or going shopping at Walmart (need rest stops). I've learned to be very careful about my footsteps. It will only take one little misstep and I'll be back in pain for days.Gloriahank you...i have read these sites..but this was different, this was not just a good day, but almost 2 full weeks of beyond great days...days I thought I would never see again...I know you said you have o take oxy, but I was just excited a doc listened, then saddened that they perscribed something I had already tried and it didn't even work...but notice my surprise when afte rone dose, I cleaned my whole house, something I haven't done for over a year...then I expected to drop in pain for a day or 2 but I didn't, no pain a all, even durign my monthly, when it is usually completely down and doing nothing...this was different..but it was too short lived...but it does give me hope that soemthing can be found to give me back my life....just what and when will we find it...but this is pretty quick to become tolerant, or at least it seems to be???

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I know you are only here to help. And I totally appreciate ally ou have gathered to help us. I scanned over what you sent and book marked a bunch and printed some other. But truly, learnign the basics there thru scanning and then the whole tumor marker thing really scared me and I stopped before I mentally went too far. I am going to request they go straight to a bone marrow test, as I feel that is what is needed, but with no insurance at a by your incoem hospital, who knows. I have not applied for disability, for I have no disabling diagnosis yet, just almost 2 years of pain. I stay home and care for my special needs son who is a 12 year old quad. I need my arms and legs. I thought about applying, but thought you had to have a diagnosis first???? Tonni Brende Wife, Mother, Grandma too...

I believe that Fibro affects the tendons and things like that. That's why you feel it in your bones. I do get those spots of pain your Dr. was talking about. But, it's not an every day pain in the same place. It jumps around and then you can have good days and then the days that you don't want to get out of bed. So, your Dr. didn't find it because it wasn't there at that time. Even when I drove 3 hrs down to a larger city, I figured for sure the Fibro would be screaming from the drive. Nope - no pain except when he had a hold on my ankle and pushing my leg up, where his fingers were then screamed.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Tonni,It's a screening kinda thing. It's checking for liver cancer and cancerous tumors in or around your ovaries. My doc does that test once a year just to stay on top of things.. with me, he is just checking for liver cancer because my ovaries and everything attached to it was removed in 2007. Don't panic, you're all good.
