I am having a hard time coping with my DX.

My joints hurts, I must have the flu but not the fever! I even have the nausea. You know what hurts the worse. The doctor last week pressed on my points behind my head right at the base and i thought i might throw up. I was sick! I have had severe headaches since then. The warm kind that radiate up and come around your head. If i put my arms up to long they are so achey they hurt and did i mention i can hardly sleep for my extremidies going numb and tingling?

My DX is fibro and post concussion syndrome and depression. I think that dealing with Fibro makes you depressed! The very first doctor i went to told me i needed a shrink!

Are these things what others have? I just can't except that this is what i have!

I know I must accept this but it s so new.

Any words of comfort would help.

Maybe i wont be so bad tomorrow.

Sorry all!

EVERYONE FOR THE MOST PART WILL HAVE SIMILAR SYMPTOMS, BUT THERE ALSO MIGHT BE OTHER SY,PTOMS YOU MIGHT HAVE THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS. YOU SEE FROM HOW IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME. IS FIBRO CAN COME IN DIFFERENT DEGREES WITH EVERY DIFFERENT PERSON. THATS WHY ITS GOOD TO BE IN A SUPPORT FROUP SO ONE CAN SHARE DIFFERENT THINGS. AND THERE JUST MIGHT BE SOMEONE ELSE OUT THERE EXPIRIENCING THE SAME WIERD SYMPTOM.

I HOPE I WAS ABLE TO HELP. THIS IS NOT EASY FOR ANY OF US BELIEVE ME I CAN'T STAND GETTING UP AOUT OF BED SOMETIMES. BUT IKNOW I HAVE TO. SO IDO. BUT I DO KNOW MY LORD IS COMMING BACK AGAIN TO TAKE ME HOME WHERE THERE IS NO MORE PAIN AND NO MORE FIBRO.

LOVE ALWAYS TRISH

I've spent most my Fibro days nauseated and the pain will actually make me sick to my stomach. It's no fun!

I'm sorry that you're feeling this way too. I hope you find some releif. One thing that kinda helps me is to soak in the tub with really hot water, sometimes I put Epsom Salt in it, and at bedtime I use 'sleeping' bubbles. I also go to the Wellness Center to do water exercises in 92 degree water.

Take care.

Thinking of you!
