"I support the permanently disabled!" (yeqmxplb)

MDJunction to me

mabri"When I was diagnosed about 18 months ago with fibromyalgia, I didn't know where to turn. I got on my computer and looked for a support group where I could talk to other people with the same disease and get some help...Information, suggestions, mostly just what I can do now that I have this.....disorder/disease/syndrome...I didn't even know what to call it. I found MDJ, and yes, there was a support group for fibro. I started a post, and figured I would never get an answer. However, very quickly I was welcomed in, and became really involved in the group. I received help, support, friendship and the feeling of being truly cared about by these strangers who had become like family to me. Now, I have been here for about a year and a half...I have become a group leader, and love every minute of it. It is so wonderful to be able to help others. I still receive help and answers from the members in this group. The fibromyalgia is where I go to help, support, listen, care and even laugh. I don't know what I would do without this group."

Tee's Trials and Tribulations

My daily dealings of living with gastroparesis


Today was a new phase and the worst yet.

Aug 23 2011
It actually started last night.  When I was diagnosed July 18th, I was told to expect the nausea, pain, weight loss, and vomiting. So far, all had occurred except the vomiting. I was so hoping I wouldnt have to face the vomiting. I'd made it this far. But I was wrong. It struck last night with full force. I was so miserable, I could hardly stand.  I finally made it back to bed. I curled up, so miserable. I took my zofran, and finally made it to sleep later that night.  However this morning, it started all over again with a vengeance.  It was all dry heaves, lasting about 20 minutes. I felt so bad, my stomach hurt so bad, felt like someone was trying to pull my stomach up from the inside out. I couldnt get a break.  I called my gastro doctor and left a message with his office.  He called back very soon, and I explained what happened.  He stated he would leave some samples for me along with a script to help with the vomiting.  I was to call him tomorrow morning and let him know how things went. I had a appointment with my family doctor in an hour to discuss pain medications, so I would come by after that.  He stated that would be fine. He would leave them up front.  Its a good thing I got the script and had it filled.  I had another wave hit me not long after I got home.  I can only hope this doesnt last very long.  It hurts so bad when I am done, I just want to curl up like a little girl and cry.  Perhaps this will be it for the time being.  One can only hope, right?  I will write more later.  It is time to search for peace and quiet now, to let the meds do their job.
