"I have just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I want to support everyone else..." (WeeRhi)

MDJunction to me

djfilippone"Before I found this site I felt so alone.  Watching my daughter struggle with IH and being treated like she had two heads from doctors.    I have plenty of family and friends but there was nobody that really knew what she was going through.
I not only have support and love from others who will listen and share their
story, but I have made some forever friends.  Having this support site does make a difference to many.

HI ALL, I know this is for Fibro issues but, this has to do with my Fibro Pain and Stress. I just recieved word from my Son that is in the Army, that he leaves in 2 weeks to go back to Iraq. He just spent 15 months over there and he was to be getting out, but the Army froze leave and processing out. I would have him home if they hadn't have done that. He only signed up for 3 1/2 years and he's done than. Now it looks like he won't be home until 2010. He is not happy. Stress makes us worse and this news has not helped me at all. I am asking FOR ALL OF FIBROS. to PRAY AND START A PRAYER CHAIN for MY SON (IAN) and ALL OF OUR TROOPS. PLEASE?. I really don't need this stress with everything else I have to deal with.This is my second family and I am asking all my fibro sisters and brothere to Pray for my Son(Ian) and Keep him safe and bring him home to me. PLEASE???? Thank You So Very Much adn God Bless You All. Love You All So Much. Sincerely, Shortstuff (Gaye)

Bless you.and I have already added IAN to the prayers for my own two sons as they are home for now but could go back in 2009. This is not to much to ask of anyone... Many ou MILITARY families can understand the stress that this adds to our everyday challenges...

Asyou can see I am exhausted and the fohg is setting in... Love and HUGS

Of course, we will keep Ian and Grannys' sons (as well as all other loved ones) in prayer for a safe tour and return to their homeland.

I guess I wasn t aware that some branches of the military are freezing leaves and processing out. How sad !!!

I hate it when a military person has to do more than their share (more than 1 tour of duty) to a place like Iraq or Afghanistan . It seems totally unfair !!!

Oh Gaye, I am so sorry. It seems so unfair, doesn't it?

I wasn't aware either, Auntie.

As Auntie said, of course they will be in our prayers, along with all of our troops.

Thank You so much for the kind support. I thank each and every one of you for the prayers for my son and for all our troops. With Fibro, you are to try and not have any stress. But this news is stressful for me. Thank You for the prayers and support.

Auntie3285, Thank You for the prayers and support. Yes, the Army is the branch that has frozen leave and processing out, because no one is signing up, So they have to send what they have and the ones that only sign-up for 3 1/2 years have to stay in and go back after they just spent 15 months over there. I appreciate all the PRAYERS and Support Thank You, Sincerely shortstuff
