Fibromyalgia Support Group

So my mission to find relief continues. I'm looking for a new doctor. *sigh*

*hugs* Hope you have a less pain day.

maybe we can give advise on those things too. WE share and care.

Sorry you're feeling so lousy. I know that pain stinks, and massages aren't always a good thing. Maybe you'll be able to find a referral from someone else with Fibro who has had good luck with a particular doctor.

YES, you acn discuss family problems here. WE all have families and

A little about me!

I'm a single mom to Tirzah, 5 years old (her birthday is actually today! Yay!!) and McKenna, 18 months old. Both my babies are girls. They are the love in my heart! I've been separated from my hubby for almost 3 years (off and on, hence having an 18 month old! lol) He refuses to divorce me, the old "cheaper to keep her" excuse I guess?! I have my masters in psychology but I choose to stay home with my daughters. I think having mommy home with them is important and I'm able to do it financially so I have no desire to work at this point in my life. Maybe when the girls are older I will work again?? Who knows? I do like being a stay at home mommy.

I'm an only child of a single parent. I believe in the old saying "grow where you are planted" and I've lived in the same town my whole life. It's a super small rural town and I love it here! Everyone knows everyone, we don't lock our doors, leave keys in the car in the driveway... it's safe and I love it here!!

If anyone would like to know anything else, just ask! I'm an open book!

As for massages and pain relief clinics, I m not sold on them much either (even tho' I ve never used either...just heard some not so good reports).

Happy Birthday {{{hugs}}} to your little one today !!!

I wish we lived closer and I would love to help you with the little ones when I could. It seems so unfair for you (so young) to be afflicted like this. I like that you have chosen to stay home with your babies ... I didn t get into the work force until my youngest (2 daughters also) went to Kindergarten and I m not sorry I waited.

I love the way you describe your hometown. That s just the way (type of place I would love to live)...sounds like where I grew up.

Hang in there , hon ...better days will come !!!

I too, am sorry about your difficulty in finding a good doctor. I just recently fired my gastro. He actually argued with me and yelled at me in my last visit!

Anyway, I will speak up fo massage. I get more relief from that than anything. Unfortunately, insurance doesn't cover it, so I'm limited to how often I can go. When I could afford it, I was going once a week.

My favorite is the deep-tissue massage, combined with trigger point therapy. It is the only thing that breaks through the tightness in my muscles, which contributes to a lot of my pain. If you can find anyone to watch your girls, I highly recomend that you try it.

Homeschooled my daughter until she graduated. She love it. It was a lot of extral trouble for me, but she just loved it and when i asked her if she was ready to go back. (I said that i homeschool her, giving the impression that i always did it). Actually I started right before she was due back after the Christmas break. somehow we managed to keep "family" and "school" separate. She did really well, loved it and never went back to school.

I think i got off track about 5 times and i'm not real sure where i was going.

So....good luck with your problems! Sorry, I was carried away in the ffffooooggg
