Fibromyalgia Support Group

This past Tuesday I had such a weird feeling, as if I am going to die. I have never had this feeling before. And yesterday I again had the same feeling, but did not talk about with anyone at work. Its not something I would talk about with just anyone, since I did not want to be thought of as "CRAZY"

Well last night I get an email from one of my brothers in California, and he told me that my dad had a stroke and is in the hospital.

Now here is where I think is weird, I do not have a good relationship with my dad, and I have never been close to him. My brothers (2) and I were separated when my mom and dad split up and I stayed with my mom. Eventually my dad moved to Calif. and I stayed in N.Y.

So talk about E.S.P. or Gut feelings.

I am praying that my dad makes out Okay. He is paralyzed on the left side now.

Oh Lord I am going thru a few other things at this time, and this is just too much for me. I feel blessed that I was able to get this "Gut Feeling" perhaps I will be able to get more feelings or E.S.P.

You are not Crazy God was just trying to show you something. I you would call your dad just to say hello and that you love him . This will give a peace of mind. I too have feeling when something is going wrong in my family and I don't know what it's about. Then comes to pass. May God bless you and your father.

Olga, I am sorry to hear of your fathers' misfortune and will hold him in prayers for a healthy recovery.

How weird that you had such feelings as you did but I , too, have had somewhat of the same thing happen when my oldest brother was hundreds of miles from me and the drs. were giving sister-in-law a bad prognosis for my brother.

I KNEW when the phone rang that evening that the news would concern that brother and that it would not be good news. We had him only a few weeks following that phone call ~~~

Its great to hear this, as I have not had this happen before. I want to thank God for giving me this and letting me know that something was about to happen.

I will let me brother know about this, so that he shares it with my dad. If I could only take back alot of whats happen in my past. My dad has been one hard person to live with, and live without.

I pray for his recovery and I want to say that I must start to pray more. I do not make more time to pray, so this is a lesson for me.

Thanks again, if I did not say thanks before.

Olga, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in their time of need. I hope your father is resting peacefully and is able to make a complete recovery. I know God works in mysterious ways and it was his way of telling you something was going on, it just wasnt with you it was with your Dad. Sometimes we just get our perceptions mixed up because we are not actual mind readers. I wish your Dad the best of luck and hope everything turns out ok. Please keep us updated of his progress. Keep your stress levels low, stay strong and positive. Gentle Hugs, Stacey

Olga, When I am close to someone even if they don't live right next door, I know when something is going on. My best friend lives in PA and I know when she goes into the hospital before she does. I get these feelings about others in my life friends not having good relationships. Not being able to sleep, it is really crazy I think. I do believe in gut feelings. I have a hard time with it, because of the fibro. It sometimes is really scarey.

I had the weird feeling a few years back that I was being stalked by cancer. My dd's mil had lung cancer, then I heard that two of my coworkers had breast cancer. Another relative, here, a friend there, a friend's parent there, my then-bf uncle, then another uncle. One day someone asked how we were doing & my bf said "today's a good day, haven't heard of a single new case of cancer!" I didn't realize it at the time but I was getting seriously anxious about the cancer...I felt like it was coming closer and I was certain that I was going to be next. But it wasn't stalking me, it was my little sister. In one week I learned that an auntie, an uncle and my little sister all had cancer. Three weeks later all three died in the same week.

I would not be a bit surprised to learn that we fibromytes were more psychic than other populations groups. It makes sense to me...my sense of smell is over developed, my eyes are overly sensitive to light, and when I'm flaring bad the competing noise from the TV and the clock drive me nuts...so if our 5 normal senses are overdeveloped, why not our 6th sense?

Olga, keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I think it's wonderful that you have such strong intuition. I often get feelings about things as well, and like others have said in so many words, I thing maybe it's a "heads up" that something is going on with someone in our lives. Even if you have had alot between you and your Dad, he is a part of your life.

You know rayney I think it is so neat that you are bringing up a possible connection. I agree...senses strengthen to compensate for others when they are weak.

I once heard a set of twins that were psychic explaining that they had a LOT of pain and allergies....all the time because they were picking up on everyone elses pain and feelings etc...and it wore them OUT.

Now, I have READ documented in black and white that one symptom of lyme disease is psychic phenomenon. It's true!

Hey, stranger things have happened. And it does make sense about our "delicate" state of health. I have an ear infection going on right now and I saw my doc today, got a prescription for antibiotics. And I also say my Gastroenterologist earlier, and he tells me that my White blood count is very high, so I am now waiting to hear from their office because I am going to have a "scan" of my abdomen and lab work and I go back to see both doc;s in 3 weeks.

I too get all of other compliaints, with loud noise, etc...
