Finally Back!

Okay I made it - through the graduation, the parties, the vacation, a funeral, then the wedding and the cruise and then saying goodby to my only son as he drove away for his new home 7 hours away! I am exhausted and ready for a break but I made it!

I remembered to rest each day and to take it slow. It's still hard because I am always finding things "I can't do any longer" and it is hard to accept. I also realized I have a lot of things to work on that I have allowed the disease to take from me when I shouldn't have.

Anyhow, I haven't had a chance to see the doctor about the new meds she put me on and the issues I had with them. However, I think I am ready to start figuring out how to live well WITH my fibro and if that means taking meds to get me there - then I am ready to do it.

So begins a new journey Smile

I want to thank everyone again for their support. I'll be on here from time to time to support you and to seek support - I am so blessed to have found this place!

Life is Tough but me and my God are Tougher!

My postings are based purely on personal and professional experience. I'm no expert or M.D., and always recommend a physicians opinion and treatment plan. I don't practice medicine, law or ethics. I'm just a nurse hoping to give as much as I take. Peace.

We are glad to see you back, and I know you have been through a lot. I'm glad you did take time to rest, and yet had a great time! (except for the funeral). I know it's hard to see your child go away, but I would be glad to send you my youngest if you get lonely..LOL (She's 20, and I'm ready to kill her)

Hope to see you around a lot more since your social calendar is slowing down a bit. HUGS

Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.
