If it isn't progressive why am I in such worse condition 2-1/2 yrs. later?

Just a thought to go with your prayer. My mom who is also a suffer, and has

others Poly,RA, etc. has kept going, still at 76 goes to work, sometime I don't

know, but she keeps telling me to practice, LET GO AND GOD., THIS has got her

through, her pain, trials, and got her through her cancer TX which she has been

cancer free 5yrs., but know has been told they have found this and that and are

sending her on the DR. runs again, which she is tiring from. But try it LET GO

AND LET GOD

It is progressive . I know from my own experience. I don't see myself able

to keep working until I am 65. The last 5 years have attacked me and the fibro

went 10 fold. You know I told you that I use to have very mild symptoms for

years... so mild I did not realize I was sick. Just tired all the time,

numnbness and tingling in the fingers, and also fibro fog which I did not

recognize it to be fibro fog. Now the tired has turned to exhaustion and the

pain set when I had that flare 5 years ago. My body was never the same after

that flare. I also get the stiffness I never had in my younger years. So bad

that sometimes I have to literally roll myself out of bed because my back won't

bend and all my joints stiffen.

love ya,

Debra V.

Because the fibro monster does what it wants to each one of us in a very

different way.

It's as individual as we are. At least that is what I am assuming based

on years in these support groups.

Do you just have fibro, , or are there other things you have to

maintain? I can't remember, I know several of us here have other

conditions we treat as well as fibro.

I have a neck issue that gets worse (progresses) if I don't go to my

chiro regularly, and when that acts up the whole body will hurt and ache

and I never leave my couch during those times. It's miserable.

Horrible pain. It took ten years for someone to find out that my neck

was just all jacked up and disc c5 is not as plump as my others. My

neck doesn't c-curve like a natural neck should, it kind of zig zags and

doesn't sit right. When I keep that in check then I do okay, and no

progression.

Anyhow just rambling. Not sure what I'm allowed to say here as I feel

all I do is tick everyone off lately. I'm feeling very upset and alone

right now, as I didn't sleep last night so I'm in pain. I'm going to

turn this one over to God.

Hi Debra,

Your description fits me so well. Especially the getting out of bed

and the steady increase in pain. And yet, there are still so many

things that I can do that I am so afraid of losing. I can walk and

walk and walk. I do know that I couldn't do any of them though if I

weren't on medication.

Yes yes yes yes!!! I wouldn't be alive today without it.

On a day like today, where there simply is no more hope left, I have to

say this very thing. Thank you Sharon, thank you so much, I really

needed to read this just now. You have no idea how little hope I have

today, bless you and thank you!

My fibro is slowing getting worse also. The past few years it sped up

some. But my muscles are still conditioned.

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.
