Re: [FSG JJ Your right!

[Guest guest]

I just love my guy, same here, and since this breed is new to us, pretty

much always had big dogs, if it wasn't for taco, I would be quite alone since my

husband is gone alot with his job, and when not feeling well Taco always finds

something to do to get me smiling, or just loving him so much! They are so darn

cute,lovable and smart. I say you are so lucky to be able to have that many. I

think we may get 1 more. This fibro madness did not come on with such

confinement though till after I got him, last May.I am hoping it is just the

harsh winter we are having, and if so I think I will spend next winter out in

Ca. again! Take Care and fun with your babies! I also joined the chi group so

enjoy looking at all the different pic's and reading the fun stuff about them.

Re: Sharon Tiger works wonders

It is the best out there, when I get them non of the icy hots, colds etc. work,

my brother turned me onto this and that tiny can is mighty powerfull.....Hope it

does it's job for you. it does for lots others also. A little bit goes a long

way Sharon

rote: Tiger balm???? Ok do tell! I know nothing about that and I get the muscle

aches.Will it help for that??

on hand but this is the best for muscle pain rub. I also know with St. 's

wart you have to be VERY carefull, even though it is a vitaman I don't know if

you have read up on it,but can be very harmful. It did not work for you though

so you don't have to worry. I had been on a vitaman cocktail I was set up on out

in Ca., it didn't work but kept taking hoping it would kick-in, some day, the

Chiro, who I also saw, even though I hated being cracked, and he believed I had

to, I preferred and would still do accupuncture if insurance would pay for the

amt of times I need to go, but after 1st TX I felt like I was someone else, no

pain, more alert, had it all gone!, but since I have been back here to the East

coast and found this great Rheumie, and she is good, she took me off the

cocktail, she said she does not believe in cocktails unless it comes in a glass

with

ice. LOL and as she said if I was still having flares, I am better without

them as have to be carefull with this disease and mix of them also. Well enough

said, just keep trying new things, swimming is good if you can get to a pool, my

mom swears by it she has access to pool, I am way up here in Quaint town of

Maine and nothing within short drive for me. Also alot of rest when needed, I

learned that after way to long of not giving in to it. Have a pain free day I

hope. Sharon

Melody,

For me its anything but drugs. I like to do research and see what can help me

thats a dietary supplement. I even took St s Wort 4 years ago for my anxiety

after that crazy Effexor episode. I'm not even sure when my FM started,cannot

pin point it. I guess when I was diagnosed I was in a flare and thats how they

were able to actually diagnose me. I do recall fatigue muscle aches and pains

for no reason off and on over the last couple years.Just figured it was my iron

levels dropping again.How long did it take for them to diagnose you??? I know

that when I seen my doc the week before she diagnosed me,I felt REALLY bad for

the last 3-4 weeks. I hurt and I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open.

UGH! How well does the chiro work for you??? I read something about that

helping,just didnt know anyone who did it.Well today has been one of my tired

days so off to bed I go.Thanks for the support!

And I know I'm all alone with this one, but I felt worse in the

beginning I just didn't know what was wrong with me. I was sure I was

dying.

I feel better now than I did then.

My fibro started in 1995 and the next three years were the worst ever.

Then my over all body pain was at its worst in 1999-2002 before I

started seeing my chiro on a regular basis.

But that's just how my body and fibro seems to respond to what I do to it.

> I am not lucky,it's called a BLESSING. I don't take medication and thats by

CHOICE. When I ache,I take tylenol arthritis. My pain is managed by the water

areobics and I am blessed to be able to go for free. I have found dietary

supplements to help my energy level and will help with my muscle aches when I do

have them.Today I'm TIRED and I really needed some more sleep.BUT I need my

class! There is no reason for me to be stressed! God takes care of me so why

worry and stress??!! No,I don't have to go to the doctor but 1x per month so she

can see how I'm doing.If need be I can see her more but for now,I'm ok. No one

says things will stay this way for me.FM does progress and I'm just not at a bad

point YET. I'm sure when you 1st found outt,it wasn't so bad.Well thats where I

am. So yes I am blessed but yes it won't always be this way for me.It just is

right now.My IBS is awful,but stress won't make it go away but only make it

WORSE.
