RE: New To Group...Ginger We are glad YOU found US !!!

[Guest guest]

Ginger I'm 43 also I live in S.E. Arkansas only a few mile from the

Arkansas River where I grew up camping and fishing.

I was diagnosed w/clinical depression 21 yrs. ago and have been on

antidepressants ever since and have had many years that I couldn't tell wether

they were doing anyting at all for me. Lyrica is helping me for a few months now

however as we learn not any one thing works for everyone. Oh duh I'm glad you

joined us. you may not like all of us but I hope I can truthly say WE all Love

you!!! We are all sick

in many different ways at time and our illnesses get the most of us at the worst

possible times.

I am trying my best to fight this dang FibroMONSTER by staying busy doing

something and I have been very busy the past few weeks

and have neglected the group. Ginger I have come to believe it's a matter of

doing something positive every day. It doesn't have to be a lot but just a

little may help US get thru one more day. WE share our experience, strenght and

hope on a daily basis and that is the most we can do for each other. Ginger I

hope you find the Love, encouragement and support I have found since I joined

about 10 mos. ago

GOD Bless YOU ! ! ! . . . ........................................ . . . Hugs

Hi everyone,I'm Ginger. I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you a little

about me. I'm 43 and live in Western North Carolina.I'm divorced and have a son

20 and a daughter 15 that live with me.I love animals,especially dogs.I breed

and raise a few just for my pleasure and to help with my income.They are my

furbabies and are what helps me get through my days. I've had Fibro and Chronic

Fatigue for a little over 15 yrs. I was diagnoised with Depression about 9 yrs

ago and I've since gotten my SSI and Disablity.Just this past year I was

diagnosed as being bi-polar. I also have pernicious anemia (can't absorb

B12),knots in my thyroid,an anuerism in my renal artery,and possibly Epstein

Barr Virus. I have chills,body aches,fevers (basically flu like symptoms)etc

with mine. I've met a few people with Fibro that have these symptoms but I know

not everyone does. My Doctor put me on Lyrica about 4 months ago,and I'm on a

lot of anti-depressants. I can't tell that the Lyrica is doing a whole lot for

me - as an anti-depressant or for the Fibro.Well I guess that's about it! I'm

glad that I've found a group of people that can and will understand the problems

of living daily with Fibro. So many people don't understand because we look

" normal " to them! Everyone have as good a day as possible and take care...Ginger
