Re: Melody Re: Emotional & venting

[Guest guest]

I saw my lovely rheumy today and she was saying that the websites have it

backwards its not that soldiers have fibro from war, its that during their tour

they are studied and they are deliberately woken up 3 times per night this gives

them a psudeo-fibro in which all of our symptoms can be found in micro form and

they are studied just like all other types of experiments performed on soldiers

(like vaccination etc). Of course with these guys a few good nights sleep and

they are back to normal whereas for us we have long term sustained sleep

deprivation to the point where we have broken our alpha waves. She was telling

me her average FM patient wakes up 3-5 times a night, my sleep study showed I

averaged 10-15 times a night, no wonder I am screwed and no wonder my long term

prognosis is in the lower end of the scale, at least now though I know what it

is, and more importantly that I AM NOT CRAZY.

Hugs as well. I wld suggest that you should/need to check into heavier

antidepressant and also question the poss of sleep disorder causing

problems. May sound strange, but I have discovered since being dx with

Central Sleep Apnea that whenever the situation arises that I do not

have my extra oxygen for as few as one or two nights, I become an

instant emotional wreck!!

Take care of yourself!!!

1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as

to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr.

Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to

certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.

2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be

afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation

better.

3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is:

Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe

4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the

same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something

another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member

may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal

with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense

of humor.

5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let

us know so that we can do our best to offer our support.

Have a nice day everyone.
