Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 , You may of already wasted time with the main group as I have found in my former posts. I do not read many of the posts as many just get beaten to death with other people's problems and in several cases ignored completely. I am starting a new group for those of us that seem to be falling through the cracks. I will keep you posted. RAB Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry I'm still here Hi I have been a " passive " member of this group lately. I have been reading some posts, but not written much. So I thought I'd write what's going on in my life. As for the fibro symptoms, they continue pretty much the same every day. I have been keeping a medical journal every day in January. Basically it's just a list of all the symptoms I have felt during the day. I looked at it last night. It's funny, on January 1st I was NOT tired! Since then I have been tired every day. (Of course I mean tired during the day, when you are not supposed to be tired.) Pretty much every day I have pain. Usually it's the legs, arms, shoulders, neck and back every day. Not so much pain, except for some days. Another symptom that I have written most of the days is that I am freezing cold. One good thing though, is that I weighed myself last night after the shower. I hate doing that but I just had to know my weight. My weight last night was 54,9 kilos. And I am 155 cm, so my BMI is 22,85 which is normal weight. But the thing is, when I grew up I was always skinny. Even the first years in university I was rather skinny. But then I started to gain more weight and I think it was about 3 years ago that I first came over 50 kilos. January 17th I started in a scrapbooking course. We are going to have it 5 times. The first time was boring, because we didn't do anything. We just looked at pictures and talked a little about materials. Next time we'll start for real. Unfortunately, we were 20 in the group and at first she asked everyone's name and asked each of us if we have done any scrapbooking before. You know how it is, when you say something you have 20 pair of eyes on you. I hate that. And in the end of the evening we had to be in small groups, discussing what kind of albums we are going to do. Well, I hate group work too, so I didn't say much and just wished I could be somewhere else. It was not very pleasant last week. I hope it will be better next week. I suppose she will leave us alone and let us do the scrapbooking. During the evening I was pretty stiff, had pain in my back and legs and that didn't help to make the situation better. Folkdance started yesterday, but I didn't go, because we had a snow storm, I was freezing cold and had pain in my legs, back... I'll try to go next week. My cousin's boyfriend wanted me to translate something for him. It was 6 pages and I had to do it in the evenings, after work. So I felt a little stressed out about it, because he didn't give me much time and it was about a case that had been in court. It's not so nice to come home in the afternoon, be tired and know that you have to spend the next hours in front of the computer again, when you would like to do something better, like reading or cross stitching. But he will give me some money for it. May be my cousin will give them in the scrapbooking course on Thursday because she is also there. And I sent the translation to him yesterday so I don't have to focus on that anymore. Right now I am at work. Still 3 more hours and then I have some things to do in town before I can go home. I have pretty bad pain in the legs, a little headache and a little pain in the back. Soon I'll be tired, because I am always tired the hours after lunch. I'd better do something useful now. But it's so frustraiting when I can't find the words in the dictionary!!! -- --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo! Search.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I am sorry if it seems I have ignored anyone. I certainly don't mean to. It is such a large group. I only have time to skim through the messages anymore. I am glad it is a large group, but that is the reason I miss so much here. What with work and fibro and family, I just can't respond to even half of it. If it makes a difference, I do care and I appologize. I am sure this is the case without alot of members here.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 You probably do but do you keep track of all movements you do, what frame of mind, emotions, who you have been in contact with, what was conversation, etc, how long you stayed in one position before moving? Sometimes what I did several days ago will effect tomorrow, who I talked to and what we talked about, etc. Neda > Hi > I have been a " passive " member of this group lately.

I wanted to take another drawing course in January but didn't have the money. But I've been reading a lot, and will hopefully be able to take another course next month. Plus I've been digging in my garden, trying to clear some roots so I can lay down some stepping stones. It's pretty funny, because I feel like Abe Lincoln out there chopping away with my axe! (Abraham Lincoln, our sixteenth President, was famous for having chopped logs in his youth - he grew up poor and was self-educated). It's too cold to work outside this week, so I took a walk yesterday and am still trying to decide what to do today. I should do my physical therapy exercises but I hurt today and will hurt more when I do them. It's good to hear from you. I made lots of gingerbreads at Christmas after you posted about them, and enjoyed them very much! I gave them away as presents, too.
