Re: - Introducing myself...Big Welcome Elaine ! ! !

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I'm not sure if I'm responding twice. lol

I've got over 100 emails or posts a day between 2 other groups

and the one I moderate.

Thanks for your comments. It helps me. I've been poking at spots

on my body to see if they're tender and to my surprise they are.

I'm taking everyone in the house and poking them and they all say

that they don't feel anything more than the pushing of my finger.

I'm worried about asking the Dr to test me for something again.

I'm sure she thinks I'm a hypochondriac.

But even if a person is dxed with this condition, what help is there

for it? It seems that it's something you just have to live with.

I don't have pain every day. But I have days where I have pain and

extreme tiredness and have no idea why. Or I'm sensitive to many pains

and can't

figure out why.

This may have nothing to do with Fibro? Does anyone have sensitivity to

noise?

Or to doors being slammed. Especially car doors. It makes my ears feeling

like they are going to explode. I think it has to do with the sinuses

and allergies.
