Ramblings of a Sleep-Deprived FibroMite

FunnyDumplin429

Can't sleep - again. My dear hubby has been snoring so loudly I was afraid the neighbors would be ringing our doorbell just to get silence. Pain is bad tonight. The "fatty tumor" attachedto my lung has started causing pain again. The doctors tell me "there is no way you feel that." Yet, I do. I can tell them exactly where I hurt and they see it on the xrays. Hmm - why don't they understand WE feel pain differently than others?

Last week my son drove me to the [...]

I'm Back.....

FunnyDumplin429

Hello friends.

I've been away for a few months. Since I was last here in the Fall, a lot has happened. My family moved, I am 'officially' unemployed, I applied and was turned downfor SSD...and that's just the beginning.

Just last week I was sent to a neurologist. (I should have gone years ago!!!) I found out I have bilateral Carpal Tunnel, neuropathy in hands and feet and suspected to have Sjogren's Syndrome. I have to go back to see him Wednesday of this week [...]

Still sick...still unsure about work

FunnyDumplin429

I went back to a walk-in clinic today as my PCP is taking a "break" until September. Apparently my Upper Respiratory and sinus infections never went away. No wonder I feel like poo! This dr. prescribed Augmentin 500 mg 3x day for 10 days AND a cough syrup so I can rest. MAYBE that will help some. I pray it will. I really do.

Now - I am still struggling with what to do about my job. I am wondering if the stress from the job (and again - the constant snide remarks) is keeping me [...]

Another Day - bedridden

FunnyDumplin429

Well, I've spent yet another day in bed. I seem to be "ok" as long as I'm laying down, resting...but when I get up and start to move around or do anything, it hits me again. I guessI'm in a full flare. I've not been down this long since I had pneumonia.

I'm sure things at my job are not helping as you know the STRESS is a major factor in these types of illnesses. I'm nearly to the point of panic attacks again - which I hate - because of the 'ev [...]

My Parents....Props!

FunnyDumplin429

Today is my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary!!! It's rare these days, isn't it? I'm the first-born so they got almost 9 years alone before I came along, then a sister, then a brother.

God has blessed me with the best parents anyone could ask for.

Rough Week

FunnyDumplin429

It's been a really hard week but when I found this site, my outlook has changed. I don't feel so "alone" anymore. Most people can't understand another's situation unless they've been there themselves.

I feel as if I've been drug through the mud then put out to dry. Why do people turn on each other? I don't understand. I don't understand why people can be so cruel. Maybe it's because I don't have that 'inside' of me. Don' [...]

Thanks to all

FunnyDumplin429

I just wanted to thank everyone for making me feel welcome. It is hard to find a place like this where others actually know what you face daily and can understand.

I appreciate the encouragement, the advice and kindnes I've already come to know here.

Thank you all for being so wonderful!

Hugs and blessings,
Karen

About to Give Up

FunnyDumplin429
