Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Oh boy, yes I do agree, wine makes me feel better too! The other day when I had that bad day of crying all day, and pain from stress, I had a glass of wine that night and all was right in the world. I don't get drunk, but one glass of wine is one of my remedies of choice. I discovered this back in 2000, it truly seems to relax my body enough to ease a lot of the pain. In pill form? - Yes, sign me up! Melody Ruthie wrote: > Am I nuts? Maybe, but I feel so much better after a glass or two of > wine that it is almost amazing.

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. > > 2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better. > > 3.

Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense of humor. > > 5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let us know so that we can do our best to offer our support. > > Have a nice day everyone. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
