Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 YOU ARE SO RIGHT ON. THANKU FOR REMEMBERING TO FIND A WAY TO LAUGH AT SOME OF THE UNEXPECTED SYMTOMS WE MAY EXPERIENCE, I HAVE A BEST FRIEND WHO NOW IS MOSTLY MY PHONE FRIEND SINCE I MOVED AWAY FROM MA. AND SHE ALSO IS ILL WITH SOMETHING MUCH WORSE THEN MY FIBROMYALGIA, IN FACT DR.' JUST TOLD HER SHE HAS A LOADED GUN TO HER HEAD AND SHE REALLY NEEDS TO START TAKING HER ILLNESS SERIOUS, SHE ALWAYS IS RUNNING RAGGED, DOING DOING DOING, FOR OTHERS, THEY DON'T KNOW HOW SHE HAS SURVIVED BEING ABLE TO DO SO MUCH HER W. CELLS ARE DOWN TO 24, AND RE CELLS ARE 35, SHE IS EXHAUSTED BUT CONTINUES TO APPROACH EACH DAY GETTING UP, GETTING OUT, COOKING MEALS FOR FRIENDS. SHE KNOWS HER ILLNESS IS SERIOUS BUT WE FIND WAYS TO LAUGH AT BOTH OF THE THINGS WE HAVE DONE BECAUSE OF OUR ILLNESSES, WE JOKE ABOUT HOW AS TEENAGERS WE NEVER THOUGHT OF GETTING OLD LET ALONE BE DRAGGING A LIMB AROUND ON SOME DAYS BECAUSE IT IS FIGHTING THE DIRECTION THE REST OF OUR BODIES WANT TO GO. ETC. AND FOR THE TEETH, I PERSONALLY HAVE HEARD OF TEETH DISAPPEARING ON THERE OWN DUE TO THE FIBRO, BUT MAYBE HAVE BECOME WEAK FROM ONE OF THE MEDS? THAT THOUGH IS A MADDINING SUB. WITH ME BECAUSE, LAST SUMMER I HAD A FILLING DONE 78.00! AND 2 WEEKS LATER THE TOOTH STARTED BOTHERING ME, IT HADN'T BEFORE THE WORK WAS DONE, AND DID NOT EVEN KNOW I HAD THE CAVITY UNTIL WENT FOR CLEANING, WELL THE END OF THE STORY IS, THE PAIN IN THAT TOOTH HAS NOT STOPPED AND NOW HAS TO BE PULLED!, IT HASN'T YET BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD THE 275.00, SO WHY DID I HAVE IT FILLED? BUT I DO KNOW THE PAIN I WAS TOLD IS THE DRILLING GOT THE NERVE AGGRIVATED, AND BECAUSE OF MY FIBRO.IT WON'T LET UP SO ONLY CHOICE IS TO PULL IT. LOSING THE TOOTH IS NOT SO BOTHERSOME IT'S THE WASTE OF MONEY ON THE FIRST PROCEEDURE. THE BEST TO YOU Doreen wrote: There is always HOPE. Research is being done and there will be a cure. We just don't know when. Never give up. Get angry if you must, rage against it but never give up. Keep a sense of humour. Laugh at the clumsiness. Joke about the limping and dropping things. And remember, every case of fibro is different. Not everyone's teeth are going to crumble and fall out. Mine are still as strong as they were when I first got this 12 years ago. Stay strong and gentle hugs to you! Doreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
