Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 HI again all. Thanks for all your responses to my message. I'm glad to be part of this group. My Fibromyalgia has not been very bad at all for the past few years. I've still had sleep problems, but the pain really started up again a few weeks ago, and now it's to the point where I can hardly get through a day at work. I actually stayed home today. I went to my Doctor yesterday, and he put me on Trazadone. (I don't know if I spelled that right or not.) Is anyone else on Trazadone? If so, has it worked for you? Last night was my first time taking it. I also wanted to share that along with my Fibromyalgia, I am also blind. I have been blind since birth. I have a beautiful yellow lab guide dog, and her name is Leska. She is what keeps me going most of the time. The Fibromyalgia seems to do weird stuff to my eyes. The Rheumatologist I used to go too told me once he wondered if the Fibromyalgia and my blindness are connected. We'll probably never know for sure, but personally, I think he may be right. Also, I had Gastric Bypass surgery about 16 months ago. I've lost about 110 pounds in that time. I still have a ways to go, but it has really helped me to get some of my weight off, and I'm so glad I had the surgery. Well, I guess I have rambled long enough. Take care all.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 Hi and all. No, it's not too personal at all. I use a screen reader that converts the information that is up on the screen into spoken text. The screen reader reads the screen to me using synthetic speech. I'm able to type using a standard keyboard. Of course, the screen reader isn't able to convert pictures into text, so pictures don't mean much to me, but I'm able to read email and surf the web, just like everyone else. Don't hesitate to ask me questions. You don't learn unless you ask. Take care. Tammie & Leska Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
