Guest guest Posted June 8, 2000 Report Share Posted June 8, 2000 PJ, Thanks for writing me back....sorry about your Fibro Fog. I don't work so when I make mistakes, nobody is here to see them and I am thrilled about that aspect of this! Debbie F. sent out a message about a possible correlation between ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and Fibromyalgia. There is some guy doing research on it and it is quite interesting. He is now on Ritalin and is out of pain and has his memory back. If you want to read about him his web address is: http://home.rose.net/stephens/ Let me know what you think. Debbie G.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2000 Report Share Posted June 9, 2000 ^j^ Morning everyone ^j^ Well, I have been reading and learning so much from you and I wanted to say thank you. I was so scared when I was first diagnosed that I was gonna die... now I know otherwise... it just feels like you are gonna die some days. On Thursday I felt a little better and the burning had subsided quit a bit.. well, stupid me I got on my scooter and went and got my meds and in and out of the little stores up the street... I came home and thought hey I will do some cleaning... I got as far as changing the garbage cans and then I hit the couch.. I slept for a bit and when I woke up it felt like a bus hit the back of my hips and the hip joints are worse than ever. It just shows how the brain can forget the day before. I have learned my lesson and I am eligible for a homemaker and I think it is a good idea. I will have to put my foolish pride aside and let someone help me. My nephew has another baseball game this Sunday and I am determined to be there this time. I am gonna be laying low from now til Sunday. I used to basically live at the ballpark a few years ago and no way fibro is gonna take baseball away from me. Have a good weekend everyone!

A positive attitude is what has kept me going since I got sick. I also used to live at the ballpark, but I played until one morning I woke up with this stuff, that was back in 1987. Now, it just hurts watching it on TV! Pam DuBois Soft Hugs to You Today & Remember, Educated People Heal Themselves!
