To Melody... Hope-- I am so sorry

February 8, 2008

Melody, I am so sorry. I just feel so horrible for adding to your misery and

fears. Please keep in mind that not ALL of us are the same. Have you

progressed? If not then you probably won't. Please don't be so sure. I have

heard that the majority of us do find it progresses, but that does not mean that

it does every single time. Sweetie, Please. I just want to pick you up and hug

you. And as for the teeth thing, there is really nothing out there that says

fibro will do this to our teeth. Alot of folks here have had fibro for years

and still have great teeth. If it is fibro that is doing this to some of us, It

won't do it to all of us.

I only really speak from personal experience. I don't have any idea what

other people's bodies will do or how they will feel 5 or 10 years from now.

Hell, I dont' know about my own. Maybe I have hit the peek of what this will do

and maybe it won't get worse. As of now I am still able to get out of bed, go

to work, and take care of myself. It may not be easy, but I can still do it.

Maybe I will still be able to do that in 20 years.

Honey, please don't be so sure that all your teeth will fall out and you will

be bound to the bed for life. It likely is not so. Really. I don't mind it

when people say that their FM has not progressed... it is a wonderful thing to

hear. I just have to tell my own experience with it so I can deal with the fact

that mine has. BUT MAYBE MINE WILL NOT GET ANY WORSE. And MAYBE yours won't

either.

I just feel so helpless in the comfort I would like to give you. I just don't

know how to fix the horrible fears I feel I have had a hand in provoking.

I am so sorry.

love from the heart,

Debra V.
