Another Woman with Fibromyalgia

[Guest guest]

,

welcome to the group, I think. Please help me to understand. Do you have

Rheumatoid Arthritis? I see you say you have fibromyalgia. I have Rheumatoid

Arthritis and osteo-arthritis. The first Rheummy doc I had said I have

fibromyalgia and my current one says no fibromyalgia and does not believe in

fibromyalgia which is fine with me. One less thing to deal with! LOL

Are you looking for a group on for fibromyalgia. I have been told

there are quite a few. Some which are quite nice. There is also hugs-n-pain

group which is for anyone with chronic pain. Many of us are on multiple lists

for

different topics. Sorry I can't offer you more with the fibromyalgia but I

know others here that have fibromyalgia can tell you of a good group if

one exists. Here is the name of one that someone forwarded a good article off

topic to me. Try this group: fibromyalgia_discussion .

Sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope she is doing well now. Why did

her kidneys fail? Did your hypertension improve after the kidney was removed.

I can see why the docs were discouraging you from donating the kidney, but I

guess you do what you have to do.

Sorry to hear about your son. I could not even fathom the lost of a child.

It appears you have been though a lot. I can see how this would be very

depressing.

You missed an article that was posted on religious beliefs and pain control.

Not sure if you were a member when it was posted. If you search back

throught archaives for the past two days you can find it. Or can someone out

there

repost it.

We each have our own way of dealing with lives trials and tribulations. I

personally believe religious beliefs are something very personal and private.

You know the three things you never discuss; religion, politics and money! LOL

After having many bad experiences with zealots I avoid those topics!

Well, I hope you enjoy the group. I really do! Having the support of others

with RA like me has been great. They have exposed me to all different

treatments, meds and ideas. There is a member her that posts lost of excellent

research material on RA and related disorders. I find them to be very helpful.

Hello every one,

Let me introduce myself my name is and I'm have fibromyalgia.

I was told in 1992 and have been living with it for all these years

with out support groups.It is nice to know that there is someeone

that I can communicate with.

I am a believer in Christ Jesus and teach His word so He can be

glorified.

I have now begin to feel pain in my calfs of my legs something that

has not happened before.I'm the mother of four children all grown.My

only son was shot to death by person or persons unknown.It is the

worst things that a mother can experience I thought I would lose my

mind if it had not been for the help of the Lord.I couldn't walk

during the time of his death up until his funeral services.

The next week I went to church and was told that after receiving

prayer someone took my cluthes and I have not used them since.

The pain of losing my only son was unbearable,but I have come to

realize that one day I'll see him again.

My daughter had lost her kidneys and I gave her one 5 years ago she

is doing well.She doesn't like for me to tell anyone that she

received my kidney.Let me tell you doctors are heartless I was border

line hypertension and also Have fibro.They told me I shouldn't do it

the night before the surgery of course I couldn't say no after all my

daughter was waiting for me to give it to her the surgery was

scheduled for the next day.Let me tell you something sisters don't

let any one ask you to give up a part of your body.That was the worst

pain I ever experienced.

, I would like to welcome you to the group. I am glad that

you found the group, and be able to find people who relate to your

illness. We are here for each other, and I always have a shoulder if

you need one to lean on.

I am so sorry for the loss of your son, I can't imagine how much pain

you go through. Your daughter is very lucky to have a mother like

you,she should be grateful, prayers to you Tawny
