Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Hi Deana: This is chubbygrrl50 better known as Lynne:) Thank you for your caring response. My daughter is only 14 and that is a difficult age. Most teens are only thinking about themselves. But she has only known me this way her whole life so for her, my being sick all the time is " normal " . I just wish that I could give her a real life. I am so sorry that you are having problems with migraines. I get them, too. I recently have been taking a drug named Fiorinal (for the Migraines) and it really helps. I am also sorry about your back problem. There is nothing worse than pain; especially back pain. I have arthritis and osteporosis and am in pain all the time. Maybe they can give you some good pain Meds or some other type of therapy that will help you. We are both from California even though I am in the south and you are in the north. I am in Palmdale and boy is it hot here right now...100 degrees and I don't have A/C!!!!!! I drink lots of ice-water:) My daughter takes cold showers. Anyway, thanks for being there for me and take good care of yourself. -Lynne --- Deana L Fick wrote: > Hi to the groups its been a toughfew weeks for me > and I am sorry I have > not written, but I have readand it blows my mine the > number of people who > are suffering like me.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2001 Report Share Posted June 30, 2001 Lynne, I wish you could move closer to a more populated area. Seems than you and yourdaughter could get more support. but as usual I am sure finances pay a big part in your situation. Well you have my email address write anytime. And I am so sorry you are in a heat wave with a/c does that make the pain worse? I have found lately that is does not matter. For four years I worked and just had tiny flares where I would miss work once or twice a month. But the last year and a half I have been miserable every day and it does not take anything in to account to cause it. and I am a pretty happy go lucky person, I love to make people laugh or happy. If I was not paranoid in a front of a crowd I would have loved to have been a comedian but straight lase kind not do stupid things kind. I am a good lifter upper in a pinch, I once had a co-worker tell me that I have a wonderful talent of putting people together who normally would not be able to get along. I feel so bad now I fear I lost that desire and am fighting hard to regain it. Very Scary, glad you found relief for the migraines and I wish only greatness for your daughter and you. And may you and everyone in the group be painfree for many, many days.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2001 Report Share Posted July 13, 2001 I came on the list some time ago but can not remember if I ever did post an intro. It took many years for the Drs to put all my problems together and come up with Fybro. After 7 years of treatment, they have also discovered that I have Lupus. Right now I am rather at a loss. I lost 185 lbs over the past 2 years and had such hopes that the loss of weight would result in more energy and a reduction in symptoms. In some ways this has actually helped - blood sugar is now normal, etc and so forth. But I am still tired all the time, I still can not seem to get decent sleep... same old same old. Is there anyone else here that also has Lupus? Melinda http://lacenotes.bizhosting.com my handcrafted jewelry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Hi Melinda, I'm new here, too--joined a week ago. I have Fibro but I don't have Lupus (as far as I know). The thing that I am trying to teach myself now is to stop the self-blame. I am not to blame for my fatigue and for my illness. You need to do the same. You weren't tired because you weighed more than your doctors thought you should. You ARE tired because you are ill. You can't sleep because your body won't let you. I've had Fibro for at least 15 years, but it wasn't until last Saturday that I finally understood what I just told you. I've listened to doctors and nurses and chiropractors and acupuncturists and osteopaths tell me for years that I would feel better if I just went to bed earlier, if I just ate this diet or that diet, if I just did this or that exercise program. In other words, it was my fault that I was sick. Last Saturday I did a lot of reading about Fibromyalgia. I learned some things that I already knew: It doesn't matter how much sleep I get, I'm still going to be tired and in pain. It doesn't matter how many cups of cocoa I drink or how many warm baths I take or how many aromatherapy candles I burn, I still won't get decent, restful sleep. My body won't let me. You are tired all the time. You can't seem to get decent sleep. That's a hallmark of Fibro. I'm not telling you to suck it up and deal--far from it. I hope and pray that you (and I) will find restful sleep and more energy. But I am telling you that you didn't do this to yourself, and you shouldn't take the blame for it. Hang in there, Melinda! Love, ee P.S., Your jewelry is lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
