Re: Re: Need Fibro Help ASAP!- To Deb in Minnisota

April 16, 2008

Welcome to the group Debra. I am also a Debra. I live in East TX. I have been

with this group for about 2 years I guess. It is a wonderful place for me. I

know you will find it to be alot of support and information.

I totally understand what you are saying about shopping. My husband does

almost all the shopping. But sometimes I just want to go to walmart to get out

and pick something up for me. Usually just getting out of the car and walking

to the door makes me exhausted. I push on but sometimes I feel like I just

can't take another step and find myself leaning on the front of the cart while I

push it.

Welcome again,

hugs,

Debra V.

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
