fatigue, and osteoporosis. My knees are the worst I am facing another possibly

of knee surgery. I just had one in Jan. I have been out of work since Dec. and I

am applying for Disability. I am sorry that you are facing the fibro beast as

well. we all come about it with different stories, I dont recall any acccidents

I believe my is due to stresss,unrentless stress at home and it was at work

also. I was a fast food resturant manager, and we had to meet daily drive -thru

times as wellas labor and everything else. I happen to knowof one guy who is in

my church he has fibro and is on disability. I believe that my ex has it also

but hasnt been diagonsed and wont go to the dr. he loves to be miserable and had

always very negative. That is why I left. I am also raising one of my grandsons.

He is 9 he has a

lot of emotional problems. His Mom is in the army and stationed in JKuwait at

this time. his older brother and step-dad is still at El Paso . His real dad is

being deployed to Iraq for the 4th time. we would love to hear your stroy. Take

care and good luck.

Re: A New Man!

Hi Allan,

I'm Marti and I am 59 and divorced, with 3 grown children and 3 grandchildren.

Welcome to the group. There have been men in the group on and off, but you are

welcome whether they are participating right now or not. This is a group that

offers a lot of support and can always use another person who offers support and

needs it. There is a man named and another named that I can think of

right now. We can always use your sense of humor too.

I'm sorry about your wreck. and sorry you may have fibromyalgia and about your

back problems. We all have stories here and would be interested in yours. I hope

you have understanding people in your life who care about what you are going

through.

Just jump in anytime.

That would be me. I will make this first message rather

short. I am 51 married, live in Gainesville,

Ga. . After a single driver wreck

two months ago which I guess caused my " condition " to re-surface I

got a prescription for Elaivil today ( BP was high he changed my

medication).

Anyway There is a whole lot of " back-story " ( get it!!) . I know

the disease is considered a woman's condition.. but I know men must

suffer from this as well.. I was wondering if there were men that

were a part

of this group?? Could do a member search but one of the things that

causes a

lot of pain is sitting at the computer. I read with compassion the

posts on

this site and at times count my blessings that I could be in much

worse

condition ( though when I tally up all the " nasties " in my life,(

which I do pretty much constantly) I am in a ... and what was I

going to say

?? Sorry just saying hello and will hopefully have something to

contribute. Be

well one and all. Allan......
