Re: NEWBIE/DEBI/Central Cal and all

[Guest guest]

Yes, I am so fortunate to have a hubby who does care. Sometimes I know he

gets a little discouraged, but he still

hangs in there. I asked him one day " Why are you still with me " and he said

I married you because I love you, not because

I want things to be hunkey dorey all the time " Debi...it does take a strong

person to commit to another's illness. My husband

still does not seem to get the whole picture though. He knows I hurt, but

at times he gets a little edgy about it. He is a care taker too, so that

makes a world of difference. And loves to clean the house and do dishes..

did I mention he loves to IRON? but he draws the line with my ironing...so I

wear wrinkled around the house...or struggle to iron my own ...which I

seldom do. LOL. Can't sit at Ironing board table...lol

Thank you Debi, for warm welcome to your group.

I have had to fire two rheumies because they could not find answers to my

illness. I think they were just impatient and did not want to treat me since

I am on MEDICARE DISABILITY and they would not get much money for treating

me..The third one dx'd it but

she told me all I needed was vitamins...well...she forgot that I have IBS

and I cannot take a lot of things into my stomach.

HELLO!! lol!! I will comment as I go along reading emails...

Sometimes I am just silent...hope everyone understands that...I have to read

and re read sometimes...I have

cognitive issues so it takes a while to put together what people say.

I am so glad to be here..and to know that I am not alone with my pain. And

Pain as has become my friend. It never lets

me down. It is always there for me..the one friend I wish that would just

disappear. LOL

Love

Faithy

-- Re: NEWBIE

Hi, Faith and welcome to the group. You have a very loving husband, if he

is retiring to take care of you. My last one couldn't handle the fibro, so

he

left me. You will find a lot of support here and information about how we

deal with the fibro. Don't be afraid to ask us questions.

Love and gentle hugs,
