Fibro Challenges Online Support Group

Hi everyone,

I'm kinda new here to this group and i just wanted to say hi. I have not been feeling very good and i just cant get up and moving. I was dx with fibro in November and it just seems to be getting worse. I am ALWAYS sleepy and I never go anywhere. My legs started brusing so dr ordered ultra sound. That is tomorrow. I also have chronic back pain. they found 2 small synovial cyst in L5 S1 and Pain management dr drained but pain was back in week and a half. I am just so sick of feeling this way. No one understands how lonely I get cause i am no fun to hang out with anymore. I used to be the life of the party and now i sleep through it all. I barley am up for my kids. Anyway i am following advise from friend to find some support here. Please do not be affended if i do not get right back to you as i hurt so bad most of the time that even getting on here is a chore.

Best wishes

Tammy

Hi Tammy, Welcome to the Family!!! Please let us know how your tests go. You just try and keep your chin up and keep plugging away, it's not easy but things will get better. Sending you big healing hugs, Ann

thank you!!!!!!

Tammy, this is a great group and I understand being tired all the time. All I want is my bed or the couch. I live with heating pads and I feel so bad how I have pulled away from the outside. I just don't feel good. I so want you to feel comfortable here and know many of us understand and it is such a change of life. I always thought that would come years from now...not so soon. Hugs...Nickie

Hi Tammy!

Sending you big {Hugs} from Maryland!! I feel for you, sweetie....I really do! Most of the time, I wish I could just curl up with my cat and sleep life away! We have to stay positive and persevere! Life is what you make it.....so, let's make it worth living!!

Hang in there.....we're with you all the way!

Love and {Hugs}

Hi Tammy

Hang in there. We'll be here for you. There are some great gals on this board.

I got up from my hibernation just to say I feel for you Tammy, and wish you a no pain day. Or even a low pain day!

I'm with Kimba, gonna try to keep a positive attitude and make every day count for something good. Thank goodness that doesn't have to include moving much. LOL

gentle hugs

Karen

I am in hibernation mode, too, Karen!

Im in hibernation mode, plus crabby mode. Just wish i could SCREAM to the WHOLE WORLD THAT I NEED HELP BOTH PHYSICALLY AND FINACIALLY. CANT GET A SHOWER CHAIR APPROVED CAUSE I CAN TAKE SPONGE BATHS AND DONT NEED A COMFORTABLE BED BECAUSE I SHOULDNT BE IN BED THAT LONG,WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE OH WAIT THE FRICKING GOVERNMENT. Kids running around having babies and getting there bills paid and utilities paid and i cant get nothing and i was a hard working citizan UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGg

Better go now. Sorry

Dear Tammy,

No, let it out! That's what, as a kind of newbie here, I'm told we do here!

I was finafrikkinly dx'd with fibro last June. I knew that I wasn't just lazy but wiped out all of the time. I'm thinking there's a dash of CFS in there but it's not "official" yet.

Let it out & don't apologize! If we can't *listen* to each other & support feelings then what are we doing on this planet? IMHO

Kim
