OT WHAT TO DO??

[Guest guest]

I have been living with my aunt for almost a year now. Thing are not

as we had hoped but I'm still hanging in there.

She doesn't seem to want to understand how I hurt so much and

everywhere. Now my heart problem she believes as I've had 2 heart

surgeries.

My son lives in Washington state and wants me to come live with him.

It seems he has always understood how much I hurt and is very

protective of me. He's turning his garage into an apartment for me if

I want to move there. I really miss my kids and here in Vegas I don't

know anyone and it's so hard to meet people. At least with him I'd be

in a small town and could meet others.

If I move it means having to find new Dr.'s and try and get a good one

that will understand all that is going on with me.

Just wanted some suggestions. I want to be safe and happy in my old

age and am afraid I'll make the wrong choice.

Thanks for listening.

Hi - My opinion would be to move in with your son. You say he understands

and wants to help take care of you, where as your aunt doesn't really

understand. I know it will be difficult to find new doctors, but with groups

like these, you can here from others in the area who can maybe recommend

someone. So, that's my thoughts. There is no WRONG choice. Life is always

full of changes, one way or another. Think about it.

I don't know if this will help or not, I hope so. When my Grandmother

moved to NC w/ my Aunt they researched Dr.s, community centers,

physicaltherapists and dentists, found out who who work with her

insurance who specialized in her illnesses, and had everything set up

before she got there. It will take a little work but anything is

possible.

God bless and keep you,

Thanks shannon. I believe you and Jeanne are right. I will pray hard on this

but I know in my heart I will choose living with my son. You are all an

inspiration to me.

Again thanks.

>I would do some searching on the internet for good doctors. I might

try one of the Fibromyalgia organizations and see if they have a list

of doctors and I did get on line over the weekend and searched

doctors in the area where we are moving to in June, but I don't

remember which one and I wasn't so impressed with it, I mentioned in

an earlier email I found a doctor who had practiced for 54 years and

I know many people who would just go in and tell him what they

thought they had and that's how he treated them. I also know there

had been several lawsuits but then when he did retire, one group

threw him a big party for his years of service.

I might check with doctors where you are that you can work with and

see if they know of people where your son lives.

I have some more ideas but I just got hit with a massive pain and

tiredness.

Didn't you say that you were in washington state before you moved by your

aunt? and that you missed washington? correct me if I'm wrong.

I guess I would move back to where my son is in a heartbeat, espescially with

his understanding of your pain and what you go through. See if you can do some

research before you would get there who could treat your symtoms or ask your son

to ask around or contact some drs. Are your other children there? Where ever

you are, you know we will all still be here. Keep us updated in your decision.

1. 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. To unsubscribe the e-mail is:

Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe

4. 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.

I grew up in Wa state and have family there also. Weird huh? 2 's who lived

there, lol. I however do not miss living there. Love tx. Also I have been told

fibromyalgia ia worse there because of the rain, cold and dampness. Weigh that

against family of course. If you would feel more comfy there, I would go too,

hun.
