Guest guest Posted June 23, 2002 Report Share Posted June 23, 2002 Hi! I am sorry to hear of your wife's diagnosis. It is not something that is easy to deal with, but the support of this group and others helps. The most important support for your wife is you. Below is some links to sites where you may find support in your area. If not let me know and I can give you more. Take Care, Rhonda http://www.theriver.com/Public/cfids/usspt.htm http://www.fibrohugs.com/supportusa/ http://www.web-works-2000.com/fibro/support_groups.htm support group needed My wife has been recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. We are in dire need of a support group in the Lower Alabama area. Is there anyone that may know of one? I can't seem to find one on the web, so I am hoping that someone may know of one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Hi, I live in central Alabama. I too am in search of a support group. If you find one, could you please let me know. I've contacted several groups, but haven't heard anything from them as yet. Toni > My wife has been recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 You're welcome! I can tell you support your wife, she is a lucky woman to have you and your support. Seems the government doesn't support anything that doesn't benefit them. How long will you be away? I hope it's not too long. Does your wife (I don't think you mentioned her name) have any family nearby? I know it's not the same as having someone right there, but if she ever needs to talk she can email me or the group. Be safe. Rhonda RE: support group needed Rhonda, Thanks for the links and I support my wife totally, but the army doesnt'. I'm active duty army and they are forcing me to go back to Germany without her. Thanks for dropping a line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 We sure will. We don't know how long we'll be here. I leave for Germany on Sunday and my wife will be coming soon after. Theres one in Huntsville, Tuskeegee and Tuscaloosa. Here is a number we found to the Arthritis Foundation who sent us a list of support groups by city: I hope that helps. --- timbervryce tjones1215@...> wrote: > Hi, > I live in central Alabama.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 Traci is my wifes name. I'll be in Germany for another 2.5 years. Traci has family about 30 minutes away, not close enough to take care of her many ER visits. We have had to go 6 times since March. An average of every two weeks. In any case, thanks for your concern, it seems that thats all we can get these days. --- DigitalAngel digitalangel@...> wrote: > You're welcome!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2002 Report Share Posted June 29, 2002 ~ I am curious as to why Traci is unable to go to Germany with you. The only reason why I am asking is because Germany is where my parents when when my dad joined the service. In my previouse marriage, my ex-husband is also in the service. He had gotten orders for Germany and we were also going. I was just curious. If Traci wants someone to talk to she is welcome to e-mail me anytime. ~ james brentlinger gunner00_13@...> wrote: Traci is my wifes name. I'll be in Germany for another 2.5 years.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2002 Report Share Posted July 2, 2002 , Traci can't go yet. She is still experiencing severe pain. She can't sit stand or lie down for more than 30 minutes at a time. Making a 9 hour plane trip would probably mean a few weeks in the hospital here so she can be sedated. A one hour car ride hurts her that night and the next day and sometimes the day after. We just don't know how to control or manage it yet. From what I hear the Germans are better at treating Fibromyalgia than the States and we want to be together. It may be 6 months before she feels she can make the trip. Thanks for emailing me and I will let Traci know about your offer.
