RE: Very angry Tigger

[Guest guest]

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!
