Re: Think it is possible??? (very long)

Hi Christi, That's a good attitude. And you've handled al lot, so it must be

true. I'm with you on asking " Are you done yet? " I need to get my act together

and be able to quit trying to catch up all the time. It would be nice to see a

new day when what I have to deal with today, actually came up today.

Take care,

Marti

Kris you could be right. It may be more related to physical more than emotional.

I will say that the emotional will take a toll on your health, especially if you

are prone to problems. I know that there are many out there who have had it a

whole lot worse than me and they don't have the health problems I have. I think

that they are intertwined for many of us. How did your adoptive father get

diagnosed with lab work? Do you know what test(s) were done? thanks for your

imput, I appreciate everyones thoughts.

Re: Think it is possible??? (very long)

I just have to say this, even though, I am sure it might cause an uproar

amongst some in the group. I have never been convinced that certain life events,

except maybe physical trauma caused by injury or illness, could contribute to

this disease. Many people think back and try to link their symptoms to bad

life experiences. What about the people, who had everything as children, their

parents stayed married and are still married, maybe even still alive, went

to good schools, married, never divorced, etc, etc... What do those people

blame for causing their fibro? I have had negative experiences with doctors

accepting this disease as a " real " illness. The first and only rheumatologist

that I saw, told me that sexually abused people have fibro, and if you were

sexually abused, you will be diagnosed with fibro more than if you did not

experience sexual abuse. I told him that I thought that was a crock of Sh*t!

I

think anyone can get this, children, adults, men, women, all races...my 78

year old adoptive father was diagnosed a couple of months ago, his doctor did

lab work to confirm it, I was diagnosed in July, w/o lab tests??? I am 41 and

female. I have been diagnosed with different problems in the last 4 years,

but it seemed like the doctors that I saw were afraid to make fibro as their

diagnosis, almost like they were " too good " to say that I could have this. This

disease is a joke to them. Why is there a different criteria for diagnosing

different people? I think the nonsense surrounding this condition, is the

problem with getting the proper diagnosis and the proper treatment.

This is why I've never kept a journal. It's just too painful.
