Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hello all! I am new to the group and thought I'd briefly introduce myself. I was diagnosed with Fibro 8 years ago when I was 18 (right after the birth of our first child). I've tried just about every kind of medication imagineable, massage, PT, you name it. I am now currently not taking any medication at all, except aleve and maybe tylenol here and there as needed (I interchange them). I live in SC and the heat is almost unbearable with FMS. My symptoms have gotten worse the last year for some reason. I currently work full time, have a hubby and 2 kids. My husband has mentioned applying for disability b/c it is getting more and more difficult to work. I am going to transition into the stay-at-home mom routine hopefully in the next 6-12 mos and will also start homeschooling at that time as well, depending on my FMS. Anyway, I hope to hear from you all and I hope this group will be enjoyable and enlightening. Gentle hugs, --------------------------------- Messenger with Voice.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Hi : Welcome! We are happy to have you here with us. The people in this group are great, they are supportive and friendly, and I know you will enjoy being here. I have RA, OA, Raynaud's and Fibromyalgia. I am on medications for my RA and Fibro, and find that taking them gives me the quality of life I need and want. That is great that you are able to do well on only aleve and tylenol. Yes, heat is very difficult on fibro, we've been having a heat wave here in souther CA, and humidity, which is uncommon here, and it's been aggravting both my fibro and RA symptoms. It's difficult to get disability, I have heard, with only a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, as it is not one of the diseases that they recognize. I wish you the best of luck, however, with going for it, and can only say that you might want to look into getting a lawyer specializing in disability to help you. I hope to learn more about you - Kathe in CA --- Stalnaker <annastalnaker@...> wrote: > Hello all! I am new to the group and thought I'd > briefly introduce myself.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 That book was life altering for me... it was as if they had been looking through a window into my house for two years! It will give you a lot of steps, and will open your eyes. It was co-authored by Ging (kiddietalk on this group). I would recommend that. And starting fish oil ASAP- it helps with myelin sheath. Nordic Naturals... ProEPA and ProEFA... or Complete 3-6-9 and EPA. Do you have a health food store close? > > > Hello Malinda! > First of all you are taking the first step by learning everything you > can...

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Thanks - I will get the book ASAP... do you think he would take the fish oil at 31 months? I've taken it in the past and it was hard for me! Any children friendly oil out there? Thanks, Malinda On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 11:23 AM, D.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 The Nordic line is flavored lemon... and my daughter asks for more! She has taken since she was 2... I used a needle back then to open the capsle and squirt it into her mouth... It isn't bad!
