Hi, My name is Janice. I live in Elimsport, Pa. A tiny village in

central Pa. It's a beautiful valley. I've apparently had some form of

FM for a long while. But really only started having big problems right

after Thanksgiving last year.

I have 3 children and 2 grandchildren. 2 girls 29 and 25 and a son

19. I have a grandson who is 3 1/2 and a grand daughter who is 1 1/2.

Duaghter #2 is the one with kids. She and her hubby have lived with us

for 4 years and are finally building a house. The grand kids are the

high light of our lives. They are so fun. It will be sad when they move

out in a couple of weeks.(I can see their house from mine.)Ha! It will

be strange not tripping over toys and stuff.

My husband is a local truck driver and I work part time at Walmart.

That's me in a nut shell. I didn't tell you any scary stuff. Like about

my mom or dad or stupid sister in laws. My brothers are lucky I love

them. Did I mention that I have 2 real brothers, one adopted sister and

4 adopted brothers,and 4 step brothers. It's a long story but my

adopted ones call me Aunt Jan. Ha! That really flips people out.

Dysfunctional with a capital D.

Have fun. Jan

, I am Debra V. and live in East Tx.  (Lufkin TX).  -- about 1 1/2 hours

north of Houston.

I have two children ages almost 6 and almost 11.  I am 44 and had the children

late in life.  They are precious to me but I find I have no energy to keep up

with them and still work full time.  My husband takes care of them for the most

part because I HAVE to work.

I am a registered nurse.  I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 5 years ago. 

It has really taken a toll on me.

I do take prescription meds and find they work pretty well for me for the most

part. 

Welcome to the group.  Nice to meet you .

hugs,

Debra V.

Hi ,

My name is Kristi and I am from Breezewood, PA. I have one child who is 11.

I was diagnosed with Fibro in December of '07, but suffered with it for at least

3 years before I decided to go to the doctor. I felt " silly " for going to the

doctor and telling her that I just hurt all over and I was exhausted all of the

time, but she was great about it and I was so relieved to finally be getting

help. I am a Teachers Assistant in a Kindergarten classroom. This is my first

year doing that and I LOVE it! I take several prescriptions...temazepam,

citalopram, Lyrica, and darvocet (as needed). I also go to the chiropractor

once a week for a chiropractc/massage treatment. It has really helped me.

Take care and it's great to meet you!

Hugs,

Kristi

Hi Kristi,

It is really nice to meet you. I used to be a Teachers Assistant, I

absolutely loved it. I started in the Resource Room for kids ages K-

1 and that was just awesome. I worked in that room to help the

teacher until she recovered from surgery and then they moved me into

a Kindergarten class, it was so much fun. I just love kids and

helping them learn was something that really touched me.

Take care,

Hi Debra,

It is nice to meet you also. My brother and sister-in-law just moved

to Weatherford, Texas just over a year ago and seem to really like it

down there. I wouldn't mind living somewhere without snow, my pain

really acts up in the winter.

Thank you for replying and I look forward to talking with you more.

Della,

It is really nice to meet you. WOW, 15 grandkids, I have one and

just adore him. Everything he has been through, it is just a

blessing that he is still here with us. My mom has 37 grandkis and

at last count I believe it was 15 great-grandchildren and she is just

64, we have a big family.

I also have RLS and it makes it so hard to sleep. I have a hard time

sleeping as it is but now with the fibro and RLS that just makes it

even harder to sleep. I have always been an insominiac but now I am

just tired all the time. I used to be able to handle not sleeping or

only sleeping for a few hours but now with this fibro I am just tired

all the time.

I look forward to getting to know you more and talking to you.

Take care,

Janice,

It is so nice to meet you. My daughter and son-in-law don't live

with me but I take care of my grandson Monday-Friday while they work

and we just have a blast. I know what it is like to be tripping over

toys all the time....LOL My daughter and son-in-law are talking

about moving a 1/2 hour to an hour away from me, that is going to

kill me not being able to see them everyday. I enjoy taking care of

my grandson and I love seeing my daughter every morning and after she

gets off of work, I'm going to miss that so very much when they move.

I know what you mean by dysfuntional, my husband's family is a little

odd in parts. Won't explain, don't want to confuse anyone today...LOL

I look forward to talking to you more.

Hi,

I was raised in Texas and transplanted to Nashville, TN when I met and married

my husband. I have had chronic pain (now chronic intractable) for almost 15

yrs. Most of my pain is a result of several diseases of the spine (DDD,

spondlylosis, stenosis, scoliosis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis), 2 spinal

fusions, 1 laminectomy, 2 neurostimulators. Currently have stenosis and

herniations in cervical, thorasic and lumbar spine. I now have fibro and cfs as

a result of the ongoing pain. Also have hypothyroidism, depression, generalized

anxiety, hypercholestorol, high blood pressure caused by the pain, diabetes.

I have a loving DH and two great furbabies Roscoe and Abby, my doggies.

Retired federal paralegal on disability pension (not SSDI).

Hugs,

Annie G

It is nice to meet you. I have a question for you, what part of

Illinois are you from? I grew up in Illinois and moved to Indiana in

1989 and have been here ever since. I grew up in Orion, IL and that

is pretty much where I stayed until I got out of school and then

moved all over the Quad Cities and then moved out here.

I look forward to talking to you more often.

Hi ,

I am from Michigan. seems to be a popular name on here!!! I'm 57,

married to and live with my 97 year old Mom to help take care of her. I

know I've had fibro for a couple years at least, but only diagnosed a few months

ago. I started taking Lyrica and it has been a Godsend. I still have my days and

aches and pains, but they are made more tolerable. I have a fat old cat named

Emma and an insane 1 year old kitty named Larry. He lives to harrass fat cat.No

kids, but I'm a Nanny so I've had many!!!

Love,

/Mi

My name is A. Neff

I was born in Texas, raised in Missouri, and have lived in four other

states since then. I have a bachelor of science in project management

and was ordained a minister just over a year ago. I live in a small

town outside Savannah, Georgia, and have done so since late 1997.

I've been married for 16+ years to my husband Ron. We have four

children, a daughter, 16 in a few weeks, and three sons, 14, 12, and

10 years of age. I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome the

same year I found myself expecting my youngest child. The following

year, I learned I have TMJ as well. I was diagnosed with chronic

arthritis back in 1989, so I've had these types of problems for most

of my life at this point, working on 20 years now. My CFS has decided

to rear its ugly head this year. I met, in person mind you, one of

the owners of this group, and she now lives near me. She and I share

much more than chronic pain, we share similar chaos in our families,

and similar outlooks in life, including poetry, writing and ministry.-

I take no prescription medications, because I have yet to find a

doctor I can trust here, yet, anyway. I loved my former doctor, my

pcp, I mean, from Alabama where I used to live. I may never see

another doctor like him. My last one here never seemed to have the

time to see me. I always ended up talking with the nurse

practitioner, which gets me nowhere. My OB/GYN was funded through

Medicaid because of my husband's lack of employ when I found myself

expecting. I plan on going next week to the doctor's office, one that

runs on income based information. I'm going with my sister-in-law who

has realized her blood pressure and blood sugar are getting out of

hand. She has no insurance, and is an LPN herself, pretty scary in

this day and age, you know.

By the way, I come from a huge family of 11 people including parents,

the eldest of nine children, eight surviving to this date and time.

Both of my grandmothers are and were living with Polymialgia.

Hi ,

I am from Michigan. seems to be a popular name on here!!! I'm 57,

married to and live with my 97 year old Mom to help take care of her. I

know I've had fibro for a couple years at least, but only diagnosed a few months

ago. I started taking Lyrica and it has been a Godsend. I still have my days and

aches and pains, but they are made more tolerable. I have a fat old cat named

Emma and an insane 1 year old kitty named Larry. He lives to harrass fat cat.No

kids, but I'm a Nanny so I've had many!!!

Love,

Hi Mickey!

My name is Kristi and I'm a big Chicago Cubs fan, too! I love to watch them

whenever I can. Even though I'm in Pennsylvania, we have dishnetwork and one of

the channels is WGN, a Chicago station.

Take care and it was great to meet you!

Hugs,

Kristi

What natural remedies are you finding to work so well? Is it expensive?

I'm Debi and I live with my daughter (youngest of my 3, 2 sons-32 and 30 and

is 28), her Marine husband, their 4 living children (one died 6 days

after birth)...they are Abby, 9; , 7 (both of the girls will be having

b'days in May); Gage, 6; Jamey would have been over 3 now and then Gavin, who

is 20 months old...almost 21. We are stationed on a base in the Mojave Desert

of CA. I was dx'd with fibro almost 12 years ago, but I have had the

symptoms most of my life...I am now 55.

Thank you for wanting to get to know all of us. If you ever want to know

more about me or just have questions, please feel free to ask me.

Love and gentle hugs,

Debi/55-CA

I am Gail I live in Leonardtown, land. It is a medium size town in

the Western peninsula of land. If it was not for the naval base we

would be much smaller. I am married to a wonderful man Dennis with two

unexpected boys 16 and Kurt 13. I got pregnant late in life after

losing 4. I would love to move to West Virginia or the panhandle of

land but will have to wait on that.
