dpodesta Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Erica,I remember those times where everything looks dreary and you don't have the strength to pray because you think why bother. I will pray for you, if I remember correctly you are in your 7th month, you are where I was at that point. I don't know why the 7th month is so hard other than my 7th month was around the same time period during the year with the major holiday season rapidly approaching its adds so much more to our grief. The holiday season for me has not been a good one since 1986 when my grandmother who lived with us all of my life died in early November. My parents had also gotten divorced earlier that same year. I was 16 at the time and my whole world had gone to He** in a hand basket. The holidays were always a depressing time for me. Anyway, I got off track, I am glad you are here and I will be here for you whenever you need someone to talk to.Love alwaysDerek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertBob Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Erica,My Linda had, among her conditions, something with similarities / overlap to FM, and probably could have gotten a diagnosis of FM on top of everything else toward the end. I have a LOT of experience with resources, doctors, etc, relating to chronic illness generally and FM-like "invisible" illnesses specifically. So if this is really FM and not just a throw-away diagnosis from a doctor who doesn't really know what he's talking about, feel free to back-channel me if you'd like to brainstorm. I am not a doctor, but have just been down this road, and good treatment early on is important.--Bobhello..saw my Dr today. took bloods to exclude organic causes for my pain.

Stallyn Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Erica,Great to see the doc you come first always, It is hard to experience so many things without our spouses and oftentimes we take a downhill turn, I am in my seventh month also, you are not alone, may peace surround you.Love,William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpodesta Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 William,Glad to hear from you, speaking of doctors have you taken your meds today?Love alwaysDerek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallyn Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Thank you Derek, Well I have been missing alot of my meds lately as a result Sunday was an extremely difficult day, I'm trying Love,William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpodesta Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 William,I know that it is difficult and that you are trying. You know that all of here care about you and don't want to see you in pain. Obviously forgetting your meds is going to cause you pain. Use some psycology when it comes to your meds, you know that you don't want to feel bad and that not taking your meds is going to make you feel bad. Try to remember that and maybe it will help you remember your meds. I take Previcide for heartburn now while this is a minor condition, the premice is the same. If I miss 1 or 2 doses of the medicine, I get severe heartburn from simple things like water. I will admit, that every now and then I forget, heck I forgot this weekend while at camp. When I forget I get heartburn that makes me miserable. And even though I only missed 1 dose, I had heartburn that very same day. I say this to make a point, I know in my mind that the medication will help me to stay feeling good so very seldom do I miss it now. Please try to find a way to remember to take them. Put them with your car or house keys, or put them somewhere you access every day, somewhere where you will remember.Love alwaysDerekPS. If you don't I will let Wendy loose on you. Wendy, If you are reading this, have you taken yours today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorikelly Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Erica I hope that the drs don't find anything serious and i also hope they can help you with the pain. i know how bad pain can be. i have a really bad neck and sometimes i feel like i can't move. this 7mo time is also very hard, those months were some of the worse for me. i did start taking a medication b/c the panic attacks were taking over me. i didn't want to but i also knew i could not live like that. i think they are what helped alot. keep us posted and my prayers are with you. lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WendyJ Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Derek you are too funny! Yea William watch it ! Hehehe I have to admit I have been getting better myself too, but that is because I know Derek is watching out for me and when he tells me to take my meds or go to bed I listen. I miss having Steve here to do that, he always got me to take my meds and get up off the couch and get into bed so now I will listen to Derek. You had better too or I will have to get one of the other girls to help me come after you ! Come on Corinne lets go !Derek you would be proud of me I was in bed last night at 11:30pm, earliest in a long time !Love,Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WendyJ Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Yes I do feel better, you are so right. I will try again tonight too. It was nice to get into bed and put the TV on for a short time and of course all my little dogs all come up on the bed and want my attention and this time I could give them alittle attention before I turned the lights out. Thanks so much for watching out for me, you are a great friend !Love,Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Erica,I'm glad you went to the doctor, he can give you pointers on living with Fibermyalgia. I have a couple of friends that have it. I remember their common complaints were tiredness and muscle aches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
