Hi Suzanne,

It's ironic that you posted this today. I've been having a difficult

time the past several weeks myself. Mainly do to the pain, sleep

issues and all that goes along with Fibro.

I can't imagine adding an unsupportive hubby into the mix.

But onto the ironic part. I told my hubby yesterday that I just wish

I could go to Heaven and be done with the pain. I'm not suicidal,

but all this pain makes me just want to go somewhere that it will be

gone.

Take one day at a time. Will be thinking about you this week.

Hugs,

Deb in MN

Oh (((Suzanne)))

I am so sorry that you are feeling this way, I really am. Yes, having

FM sucks. Yes, unsupportive/uncaring spouses and friends and family

make it difficult and challenging for us to want to carry on, they

really do. All we can do is take it one day (minute, second, hour)

at a time and not look ahead (although being prepared is a good

thing).

If your meds, etc. are not working for you, let your doctor know. If

your doctor isn't supportive or acts uncaring, find another one and

keep on looking until you get the right one for YOU. One size

doesn't fit all in this disease, that's the one constant I have

noticed. You don't mention if you are on any anti-d's - and I don't

think I caught how long you've been co-existing with this disease

(living isn't really in our dictionary, now is it?), but it does

cause depression - because we look back and see ourselves " living "

and now we exist and sometimes a shower or bath is beyond our pain

level, and even getting into or out of bed can be horrific (I asked

DH if he could install handles strategically so I could use them to

pull myself around the bed; he laughed so hysterically he nearly

cried and so did I because the thought is ridiculous).

You didn't share and don't have to about what your DH said or did;

some things need to remain private and that's okay. If it's something

you feel will continue and will further drag you into the pits, well,

you need to figure out if you will do something about it. There is

absolutely no excuse for abuse - verbal, emotional or physical - of

any kind. None of us wants this. None of us asked for it. Yet here we

are, lumps of pain. Some folks believe in it; some folks don't. Yet

we still are here - lumps of pain.

I am glad you have a strong faith. Remember that man will disappoint

and fail you (as you have and are finding out). You are getting your

strength from the right source. Could you talk to your pastor or

perhaps another woman in the church? Let them pray for you.

I'll also be thinking about you.

(((Hugs))))

I am about 2 weeks away from going to my new rheumatologist. I have

been told that both the doctors (females) in that practice " get it " .

Because of my allergies, there are meds I cannot take (like ultram

for instance, which I have heard works wonders). So I am staggering

along on the neurontin (Lyrica didn't work on me or for me, other

than to exacerbate an allergic reaction I was having so I now have

stretch marks where there were none before (makes me feel

attractive), plus the wonderful Tylenol arthritis and the robaxin,

none of which is making a whole lot of difference.
