[Guest guest]

HI, MARTI AND TERI,

I JUST JOINED THIS WONDERFUL GROUP & KEEP FINDING OLD FRIENDS.

I HAVE TO SEE ANYONE IN PAIN, MISERY, ALONG WITH FIGHTING THE FIBRO DRAGON.

PLEASE KNOW I CARE ABOUT ALL OF YOU AND WILL POST MORE WHEN I CAN.

EXTRA SPECIAL HUGGLES TO ALL. I HOPE YOU FEEL AS BEST AS YOU CAN.

I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO MY ACHES & PAINS NOW-I'LL BE WORRYING ABOUT ALL OF

YOU FOR NOW. (OH, OK, I'VE GOT ANOTHER MIGRAINE & NEED TO LIE DOWN-WILL THEY

EVER END?)

DEE

PS-I THINK I SAW KATHRYN Z HERE!! I'M GLAD TO HAVE A NICE GROUP & WILL TRY TO

CATCH UP ON THE MASSIVE POSTINGS. BEST TO ALL.

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.

Teri (Central Wisconsin)
