Aww Teri (((gentle hugs)))

I'm so glad your son is all right. And that your daughter seems to

truly understand.

Hi Teri,

I'm sorry I haven't given you a proper welcome, but want to welcome you now.

I'm sure you will like the group here, but am sorry we've met because of

Fibro.

I can imagine what it must be like to have your daughter finally understand

what you are going through. It must have been so comforting to hear what she

had to say. I'm happy for you. My daughter tries to understand, but she finds

it difficult. She's here mostly if I need her, but she doesn't really get it.

My son on the other hand does get it and knows how much I have to plan rest

around doing things and when he can get down from Boston he's a great help. But

he lives two hours away.

I am really glad that your son is OK. What a trip that must have been.

I hope your flare lets up soon and that you feel better.

Blessed be,

Marti

Morning all,

Woke up to screaming pain in my neck and upper back area so I knew I

needed to take my meds, stretch some and stay out of bed.

Wanted to share something that happened this past week. My son who is

stationed down in Fort Worth was hospitalized, so my daughter,

granddaughter and I flew down from Wisconsin to Texas. He is doing

fine now – thank God. But all the traveling and moving around

(car/train/plane), sleeping somewhere beside my bed and just generally

being out of my element has sent me into flare city. I kind of figured

it would happen.

So besides the good news about my son is that my daughter had the

opportunity to see first hand over a period of 6 days what I actually

go through. She works for my PCP and stated to her that it totally

frustrates her because her mom is only 49, in pain the majority of the

time, can't do the things she used to be able to do and still should

be able to do and there is nothing she can do about it when it comes

right down to it.

I started to cry when I heard that – it's not that I want their pity –

because I don't. But to have affirmation that someone who I thought

didn't understand – does, that makes me grateful. I'm thankful that

my son is alright and that my daughter actually understands now.

Wishing you all a " pain free " day.

Hi Teri - It's great to hear from you. I've been thinking about you. Sorry

you are in a flare, but you're right, it is wonderful when we get that

affirmation from our family. Hope you rest and recover soon.

Morning all,

Woke up to screaming pain in my neck and upper back area so I knew I needed

to take my meds, stretch some and stay out of bed.

Wanted to share something that happened this past week. My son who is

stationed down in Fort Worth was hospitalized, so my daughter, granddaughter

and I flew down from Wisconsin to Texas. He is doing

fine now - thank God. But all the traveling and moving around

(car/train/plane), sleeping somewhere beside my bed and just generally being

out of my element has sent me into flare city. I kind of figured it would

happen.

So besides the good news about my son is that my daughter had the

opportunity to see first hand over a period of 6 days what I actually go

through. She works for my PCP and stated to her that it totally frustrates

her because her mom is only 49, in pain the majority of the

time, can't do the things she used to be able to do and still should be able

to do and there is nothing she can do about it when it comes right down to

it.

I started to cry when I heard that - it's not that I want their pity -

because I don't. But to have affirmation that someone who I thought didn't

understand - does, that makes me grateful. I'm thankful that my son is

alright and that my daughter actually understands now.

Wishing you all a " pain free " day.
