Re: Where did my mind go?

It's reeeeally hard if not impossible to try to take care of young

children when you are flaring, crashed or fibro-fogged. I totally

understand your situation and sure that everyone on this message

board does too! About the supplements and meds we need or want to

try, it's hard because we've all had a " cashectomy " from chronic

illness. Besides, it's trial and error, since there's no one single

magic bullet that " cures " this. They call it " Millionaire's Disease "

for a good reason! My personal list of stuff I have to take is at

, unfortunately you are not alone. I find it happens more and more frequently. Losing things, forgetting where you put things, forgetting people's names, etc. The list goes on and on and on. If someone finds out what to do it would be great. Honey, believe me it is not alzheimers because my mom has that, too. It just goes with the territory. Shirley Godbout

Yes, I have a co-worker who speculates about me with my other co-

workers, questions my work ethic when I have to be off work due to

illness, puts bugs in my boss's ear and then my boss talks to my co-

workers when she has a problem with me instead of talking to me.

Then when they all start making the same little comments to me I know

they've been talking together behind my back---does wonders for the

fibro symptoms. On the other hand, if one of them is sick or has to

go to physical therapy that's a complete different story and a-okey

dokey with the boss.

I've tried finding another job, but work in a small town with low job

availablity, especially at this rate of pay. This job has great

benefits and in 6 more months I'll be earning 14 hours of vacation

per month. Plus, I know learning a new job will present even more

stress and worse fibro symptoms. Talk about a catch 22 situation. I

know there are a lot of other employees here who find themselves in a

similar position so I am not alone.

As more and more people are diagnosed with Fibro it seems almost

everyone knows someone who has it. Its good to see a little more

publicity about it on tv too, so we don't just look like a bunch of

whiners.
