I'm still having ups and downs with medication. I can be sober one minute and then I have to lay down for awhile. But you know what it's a little secret. I think it's helping with the pain. Shush don't tell anyone it might spoil it. You know what I mean?

talk later. plus I'm trying to get all the Yahoo Im's mine is laurie_roepke no artistic thought there. But I figure I can change it when the lightbulb goes on.

Take care all my good friends.

Luv Laurie

I've been following the posts. I can't really keep up well. I do try

though. I thought I was doing better overall and then this week hit.

I think I even posted recently I was doing much better. Can't say that

now. What did I " jinx " myself Been sick with headaches and today

is a very LOW day. I haven't " swung " this bad in a while. It's one of

those days that make me question my answering the doctor no to the

issue of bipolar. (It's very prevelent in the family.) I don't want

to go back on anti-depressants. I just hate the looks and comments

that I get when my med amounts start to climb. I know it's stupid but

all you know how people can be once it does. They all look at you

different. The whole in your head or hypocondriac (darn fog) or pill

seeker starts up. (Forgot one the " I heard about this person taking or

doing so and so and they are pain FREE now. " ) I hate it soooooo much.

I feel like crying. I know most of you have it worse. I'm only on two

meds. TWO. Seems so small compared to most. I feel like a total

whimp. Ugh!!!! Well, I'll go feel like I've grumped enough and the

screen is killing me.

Tammi, just now getting to this post and wanted to let you know I'm

thinking of you.

Bi polar runs in my family too and I know I've dealt with bouts of it.

Not as bad as Mom and my brother have, and not as bad before, some of my

moods were hormone related and I've been able to remedy that. *knock

wood* But I think with fibro comes good days then bad days. So of

course our moods are going to be good on the good days, bad on the bad

days.

Are you feeling better today?

I don't know a single person with fibro who is pain free. We all work

hard to manage it, but I've said and read many others say we haven't

been pain free since before fibro. I'd sure like to know who takes what

that results in pain free, permanently, and sign me up!

Anyhow I just wanted you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers,

Hugs,

Melody

> 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.

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