I know I will have a great time with the boys as long as they don't fight over

everything like they do at home. I'm hoping that without mommy and daddy around

they may be different. I know they are different here when there is just one of

them. May be a pipe dream - we'll see. If they fight like they do at home, it

may be the last time I have them both at the same time. Then again Brady may

change his mind about staying part way through because of my little kitty that

he is afraid of. I have and open mind about how it will work out because with a

6 and a 3 year old it just a crap shoot anyway. Melt downs can occur at any

time.

Of course then there are my mood swings too. We'll just have to each bend a

little.

Now if I can just get ready for them to come. I know being on line isn't getting

ready, but I just have to take so many breaks.

Ditto to you about being a sweet, positive person.

Be good to yourself,

Love ya, Marti

Yeah Marti. I think fibro itself causes the mood swings too. I think anyone

living with this is bound to have mood swings.

Hope all goes well with the visit with the boys. I bet you will enjoy it though

it may be tiring.

Take care. You are such a sweet wonderful positive person.

Have the best day you can today.

love ya,

Debra

Hi Debra,

I don't know what effect hormones or menopause have on Fibromyalgia. This is

mainly because I was dx when I was around 40 and had my last period when I was

40. I don't know if this is coincidence or not.

I don't take any hormone replacement, but sometimes wonder if I should. I guess

there is a test to determine if you need estrogen or not, but I don't know what

it is.

I'm 59 now and so menopause is long gone. I still have mood swings - like a

pendulum. Mostly it depends on how I feel and what I can or can't do and how

frustrated I am over all of that. I can be way up and plan all sorts of things

and do lots of things one day and then the pain hits hard and the fibro flu

comes on and the fibro fog settles in and I can't do any of the things I've

planned and I get down, way down.

It's not fun, but it's the way my life goes right now. Now if I can just stay

together enough to finish getting ready for the boys to come this weekend, I

will be happy. I make a plan of what I'm going to do any given day and it seems

doable, but when the day is over and only a smidgen of it is done, I get

frustrated!

I hope you feel better soon,

Blessed be, Marti

Gosh my mood swings of late have been horrific. I have been so mad lately as you

all can tell from the last week or so. I get periods of anger. I get so

depressed. I get this damn fibro flaring and hormones flying out of range, and

it takes me over. I am 43. I think my mom had menopause at 44. I have been so

irritable, my periods are heavy when they get here and then they stop in about 2

short days. I get flashes of heat sometimes where sweat pours off my face for no

reason. Well, all you females get the picture. (sickening picture too... LOL)...

sorry.

Coupled with the fibro, it is beginning to be a real challenge. I believe that

the hormone changes are making the fibro worse at times. I do not want to take

any hormone replacement therapy though....... unless I absolutely have to. I

guess I will start taking the black cohosh again. (natural remedy). It seemed to

help a little when I took it about a year ago.

I still love you all. Dont know what I would do without you.
