Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hey guys, i just need some electronic hugs or something today.Yesterday I had to lay still on an ironing board type thing while an IV injected hormones an radioactive isotopes into my arm for about 3.5 hours. left me feeling like shit. It's just a gall bladder test, trying to see if it needs to come out. I think it does, I've been having stabbing pain in my side for over a month. Then I went to a client meeting. I'm organizing an event at a hotel. Well, a maintenence worker came busting out of a door and slammed a 50 lb metal door into my right side with a TON of force. My arm took most of it, but I almost fell right down n the floor. Today I feel like I got beat up. I guess I did. I had plans to go to a formal party tonight but I think I'm gonna cancel and lay in the bathtub and maybe cry a little. Physically it hurts. And I have fibromyalgia, so basically I spend my whole life trying to avoid being forced to lie still for 3.5 hours and being hit with anything. Because a blow, a bump in the car, an accident can send my body into a downward spiral. Emotionally, i just feel like a kid again. i guess the pain makes you regress but it also reminds me of being in my FOO. I was physicall uncomfortable for pretty much my entire childhood. Everything in my body feels misalligned - jaw, neck, spine. I can't get a massage or anything like that because of the gall bladder pain -can't stand to be touched. Sorry for whining. My friend is coming over tomorrow to try to get my energy back into allignment with a little alternative medicine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Owwwwwwwwwwww! ::hugs:: I can't imagine life with fibromyalgia. And yes, you did get beat up physically, with the IV and then that heavy door...I'd be cursing up a storm. 'Cause I read somewhere that cursing aloud actually helps to reduce the pain psychologically. Maybe that's why I've taken to a whole bunch of f*cks and sh*ts and d*mns and stuff (I was wayy too scrupulous as a child, too, so maybe I'm making up for that.) But all this swearing helps! I think a good bath soak might be a good thing to do--you need to treat yourself. And hopefully the alt med helps set you back on the right track physically Again ::hugs:: I'm sure the real Girlscout is giving you plenty of kisses from us, too Holly On Sat, Feb 26, 2011 at 11:21 AM, Girlscout Cowboy < girlscout.cowboy@...> wrote: > > > Hey guys, i just need some electronic hugs or something today.Yesterday I > had to lay still on an ironing board type thing while an IV injected > hormones an radioactive isotopes into my arm for about 3.5 hours. left me > feeling like shit.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Thanks Holly - yeah, I'm kinda miserable today. Where is the real Girlscout? I want my kisses!!! The good news is that she has a job interview next week to volunteer at another kids program. So proud of my baby! I'm going to try to find her a dress up biz outfit (yeah, I'm the type that puts clothes on her dogs). Wouldn't it be cute if she wore a pin striped suit? HA HA. Getting ready to soak in the tup in a few min. XOXO On Sat, Feb 26, 2011 at 10:32 AM, Holly Byers wrote: > Owwwwwwwwwwww! > ::hugs:: I can't imagine life with fibromyalgia.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Oh ouch GS =( Well here's a big, gentle e-hug from me (((((Girlscout))))) !!! That does sound painful. I also have Fibro, it sucks. I'm sorry you feel so awful, but do whatever you need within reason, of course, to feel better! So if you need to stay home tonight & soak in a nice hot bath, then go for it! Hang in there!

I had my gallbladder out a few years ago, and I remember the pain beforehand. Also, as a former horse trainer who got bucked off a few times, I can relate to your bruises from getting slammed with the door. I am sorry to hear you also have fibromyalgia. I hope your doctor has also checked your thyroid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 (((((((((((((((((((very gentle but sincere HUG))))))))))))))))))) Honey, you aren't whining at all!. You really and truly DID get " smacked around " today! And punctured with needles . . . and had the energy sucked out of you . . . and you're in pain beside. That's a lot for anyone--you are bearing up admirably well. ly, I believe you have earned every right to feel sorry for yourself. Enjoy your bath. I'm sending you a cyber pan of warm brownies and a glass of cyber red wine to go with it. Cry at will, and remind yourself how much you are loved. No need to be brave, doll. We are right here with you, where it's acceptable to be hurt. Expression of pain is allowed here. (((((Hugs again)))))) and Blessings, Karla > > Hey guys, i just need some electronic hugs or something today.Yesterday I > had to lay still on an ironing board type thing while an IV injected > hormones an radioactive isotopes into my arm for about 3.5 hours. left me > feeling like shit.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Oh thanks guys!!!! I've been reading a lot lately about how child abuse stunts a child's future. One way it does this is by causing stress hormones to be overactive - which leads to - guess what - fibromyalgia and chronic migraines. I have both. I've long felt in my heart it was a result of my parents behavior in my childhood, and was a big part of why I went NC. Now I have the science to explain it. Until therapy I wasn't able to say or understand that I was actually abused - because my parents beliefs, attitudes and words had taken over inside my mind. Now that I'm free of that and my T has gently lead me to understand it was abuse, I now have a lot more research at my disposal. Amazing - when you don't have the right words to look under you can really be lost. And by the way, yes, my thyroid is normal. Thanks for thinking of me. XOXO guys.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Girlscout, So sorry you got beat up. With something like fibromyalgia, that day had to be excrutiating for you. I'd like to know the names of the studies you are reading. I just finished reading The Pain Chronicles by Thernstrom, and it was a book similar to UBM for me. I too have chronic pain, and this book goes into a lot of the science of it and points out how little we understand. She writes my pain, just like the author of UBM wrote my pain as well. I have heard that there is a relationship between childhood abuse, and chronic pain. I have also heard there is a relationship between PTSD and chronic pain. I also heard that depression and chronic pain are related. Does anyone know anything else about these topics? Do a lot of people on this group suffer from chronic pain? I'd like to understand more about this. Thanks for explaining it that way, Girlscout, that makes it easy to understand. Abuse leads to overactive stress hormones which leads to overactive pain??? I know what you feel like, and it sucks. HUGS walkingto happiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Oh, I'll look at my history and try to find the info again about child abuse and pain. I didn't save the links. I read tons and tons of stuff but I'm not the best at keeping track.
