Re: Somewhat new... Hello to everyone//Aly

[Guest guest]

Aly,

welcome aboard; you don't have to lurk if you don't want to! Sounds

like you have a very full (and furry) household! My sis had 2

himalayans (one was a stud, one was a mama) that she basically bought

from the breeder to keep them from being " used up " . they were

beautiful animals (have since passed on to the Rainbow Bridge). His

name was Mr. Grumbles because when he purred, well it sounded like

grumbling; her name was Rebel and she had the tortoiseshell coloring

(he was more a caramel). My sis would sometimes shave Grumbles...he

looked so funny!

I was just recently dx'd but if I look back, I have probably had this

for a long time, was always at the doc's for low back pain or strange

pains in my arms/elbows, etc. with no discernable causes (hits or

anything like that). I hope that you have a good doc you are seeing

who believes in this disease and believes YOU when you say you are

hurting. Raising two little ones takes a lot out of you - my DH and I

adopted a set of special needs twins (it was final last year), they

turn 9 this year and let me tell you, some days, I am falling asleep

by the time they go to bed!

Again, welcome; jump in any time with any questions. As you have

probably read, there is NO dumb question except the unasked one!

so. My name is Aly, I am 29, mother of 2, one my own(my 7yo daughter

4yrs north of Philadelphia, PA. We also have 3 animals. Our Siberian

Husky Meeko, and two cats, A red tabby Persian named Quentin, but who

is nicknamed

Himalayan that I used to show named ial but nicknamed skinny

chicken(I shave him when my pain does not allow me to keep up with

their coats,

fur). I was only diagnosed with FM about 8 months ago but have been

with chronic pain for 5 years now.
