RE: If it isn't progressive ,worse condition, Marti

[Guest guest]

Marti if you knew what I went thru prior to my major onset you would have a

better idea as to why my condition

worsened as it did. Someday I will e-mail you personally and tell you my story

and I believe after you read it you will hace a greater understanding of my

situation!

GOD Bless YOU Marti ! ! ! . . . ................................ . . .

GOD grant me the serenityto accept the things I cannot change the courage to

change the things I canand the wisdom to know the difference.

Amen ! ! !

I know it does too. It has progressed with me little by little rather than a

huge step at a time, like for you. It teases me and I think it's going to stay

where it is and then it just jerks the rug out from under me right when I think

I can start making long range plans again. This is God forsaken stuff we are

dealing with.Martidebra van ness wrote:It is

mild I did not realize I was sick. Just tired all the time, numnbness and

tingling in the fingers, and also fibro fog which I did not recognize it to be

fibro fog. Now the tired has turned to exhaustion and the pain set when I had

that flare 5 years ago. My body was never the same after that flare. I also get

the stiffness I never had in my younger years. So bad that sometimes I have to

literally roll myself out of bed because my back won't bend and all my joints

stiffen.love ya,Debra V. Honeycutt

And this is the cruellest thing about this disease, IMGLO. It

dangles normalcy in front of us, then snatches it away. It robs us

of the ability to make and carry through on plans.

Isn't that the truth. I like the way you put it. Dangles normalcy in front of

us.

That's the monster!
