Jill,

A shameless plug; but try my pharmacy... Link below my name. It's a discount

Re: Re: Need Fibro Help ASAP!

Hi Deb,

The grocery store has become one of my worst experiences. I have finally had to

start having them delivered and only go to the store to get the extra few items

that were not on the order list or get something special. Stop and Shop has what

they call Peapod that lets you order your groceries over the Internet and pick a

delivery time. The delivery people put the bags in my kitchen and all I have to

do is put them away (which takes me a couple of days). The site uses the same

flyer that the store uses for sales. It costs $6,50 to have an order delivered

and if you pick certain delivery times they take $1.50 off and they give you

coupons for free deliveries if you use if once every month or two months. I

particularly like using it for the heavy things and awkward things.

If you don't have Peapod in you area there are other sites that deliver

groceries from orders over the Internet.

I think most of us try not to complain. That is what this site is for though, so

we don't have to complain to others in our lives. And to give the support where

needed also. And of course to pass along any info that might be helpful. Or just

to chat.

Going to bed earlier might help a lot. If you went to bed just a hour earlier

you would get 8 hours and that might be enough to make you feel better.

Hope all goes well,

Marti

Thanks so much for the replies. I know that I'm not alone here.

About 80% of the time or so, people wouldn't even know that I was in

pain. I try not to complain about things and make the best of the

situation I've been given.

There is so much that I need to work on, it's just so difficult to

figure out where to start. Insomnia is a huge issue. I NEED and

enjoy my alone time at night. So I generally don't get to bed until

2 am. I get up around 9 am most days. I know this isn't enough

sleep, it's so hard to break the cycle.

The fibro fog is a huge issue also. I've been thinking that I might

also have ADD, but have never been diagnosed.

There are many times that I get to the grocery store only to be

barely making it to the cashier and then to the car. I've called my

hubby a couple of times to come rescue me, because I was in so much

pain and exhausted. It's like I just need to sit and can't continue.

I am about 80 lbs over weight and know that I need to lose that, but

the pain, depression, lack of sleep, etc and it all becomes too much.

I am going to try very hard to work on journaling. I know that it

will help to pinpoint when I'm having a flare up and areas that I

need help or to work on.

I am looking forward to getting to know more of you here.

Blessings,

Deb in MN

Wow Jill,

You sure do pay too much for your meds. Mine isn't near that high since

I get at least 6 meds by mail order and 7 at my pharmacy's $5 plan. The

6 mail order ones would be about $45 per month and the 7 at $35 per

month. Do have a few others at my pharmacy for $10 copays, too.

The cost of my meds also include my twins. I'm also taking a lot more meds then

most people. I've been doing so much research on it and what keeps coming up

with fibro/cfs is cortisol levels, thyroid, HHP-6, candida, adrenal fatigue,

B12, DHEA and magnesium deficiancy, low levels of Killer T cells, etc.......

I've had extensive blood work and my results came back with all these

issues......so I'm on about 50 rx's & supplements/day.

I also have a $4,000 deductable thanks to my husbands job switching our

insurance with no notice and no choices. In the past, I always choose the PPO's

because of mine and my twins health issues. The scary thing is, when we move

back to Phoenix and have to go on Cobra, we will also have to pay $1,000/mo just

for coverage. We are so overwhelmed.
