RE: Very angry Tigger/Sharon

[Guest guest]

Thank Sharon.

I thought he understood more, but he doesn't. Unfortunately, this is a

disease that DOES describe who you are because it is with you 24 hours a

day. I want some relief from my pain. Advil has been the best so far but

rots my stomach out. I think the frozen shoulder is going to become a " cold

shoulder " for a little while. I'm well enough now to take care of certain

things on my own. I won't ask for anything. my pride does get in the way.

Hey- Tigger I am deeply sorry your brother treated you that way. That in my

mind was completly uncalled for. Geez he acted like you were sitting there

telling people you had a case of crabs or something. What the heck??? First

I have to say maybe if they would look up the word fibromyalgia now there is

a case load of info on it and the numerous symptoms one can have, second

frozen shoulder is almost as painfull as delivering a baby! U know I had the

rotar cuff surgeries 2 yrs ago and it was painfull enough but when first

developed the symptom on first shoulder they sent me right away to ortho

because the PCP was afraid I was getting frozen shoulder and she said that

was something I would not want as if not caught and TX before completley

frozen it would not be fixable and also said it was the most painfull thing

you could have. Now I am sure this is got your fibro flaring as I understand

by my Rhuemiie and have found out any added injury, surgery, and slight

things

we don't think about can cause the area injured to hurt 3x's over because

the disease has sunk it's teeth into it also, they call it exaggerated pain,

but it is REAL. I feel bad you got yourself up and out and over there and

then he says that. What was he thinking you can't talk about your illness

around others. He does need to brush up on his reading on being more

sensitive to someone not well, and be more sympathetic to how bad you can be

feeling and gratefull he was worth going to see. Hope you can just do as you

say back off, and forget about him for now as you need to get that shoulder

better, and understand it is just another statement from someone

enexperienced, Take care hope your better tomm. I hope I will sleep now had

to try an ambien. Probably will be up at 3a take care Sharon

I think I'm going to step back for awhile. I can't handle this anymore. I

can't pretend that life is hunky-dorey when, in fact, I'm in agony. I've

had enough.

I went to my brother's house for corned beef and cabbage (St. Paddy's Day)

and we had a decent time. Unfornately, I woke up not feeling that well.

After everyone left my brother sat down and told me I can't talk about my

illness in a " party " setting. I'm so f-ing sick of it all. I thought he

had some idea, but he doesn't. He thinks he does, but he doesn't have a

clue. In addition to feeling kind of sick, I was in a great deal of pain.

especially that frozen shoulder.

I've been crying for hours now and don't know what to do. I think I'm going

to just stay clear of him until my anger subsides. I actually told him that

I wish he could feel my pain for a day and then he'd feel differently.

I'm just so sick of it all!
