Guest guest Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I am staying Joanne on the group I am thankful for everyone's advice. I am so sick though, I am not at the place that I can get off my meds. I have run out before, and not able to even turn my head from the pain and paralysis in my body. I have a pretty severe case of Fibromyalgia.I have to even self cath 4 times a day at time to empty my bladder.One dr. gave me 5 years to live. For 9 years I have had head aches,pleurisy,IBS ( since I was 15), pain all over, urinary problems,My hands and legs going numb and hurt so bad I one night almost just wanted to cut my hands off from the pain, back pain,vision trouble,very bad forgetfullness( I homeschool and I struggle just remembering how to spell, where I once was intelligent) Thankfully my children are teenagers and we have a dictionary It hurts to breathe,I can't open my mouth very wide from TMJ, exhausted all the time, severe sleep apnea ( I use a c pap machine) I can't walk far because my legs go numb, I could probably go on, but I think that describes my Fibro good enough I guess. But even through all this, I have maintained as best I can, to be a GODly wife and Momma and not let the Fibro ruin my life, I try to keep doing all the things I did before I got sick, I just now have to do them in different ways. I do have faith that GOD can and will heal me.I struggle to keep my faith of that, often I feel like I will continue to progress and die, but I try hard not to let those negative thoughts in my mind, because I know I need to keep having positive thoughts. I haven't talked about my illness to this extent before with anyone, I hope this is a safe place to do so. I keep our home a happy bustling home, and try to not let anyone know the pain I feel, though sometimes it is not as easy to hide it . I know I have much to be thankful for.I know there are people much worse than me, and I am thankful i can still be a Momma and Keeper at Home I rarely stay in bed no matter how bad I feel, because that just makes the depression and pain worse.I make myself get up, do school, and whatever else needs to be done I am blessed with loving children who help me allot. I thank Yahweh for that.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I will hang on and you don't worry to type it all to me now.I am thankful for one tip or teaching a day or week I don't know about your life, I had just seen this Fibro yahoo group from the internet, can't remember whose site. I am fine to wait, I am not expecting healing quickly. I know that there is allot to cleanse and detox and much more to learn, and so I just take everything in my life one day at a time.
