welcome to the group kaze I'm glad you are catching on the the lingo great. I've been here since the end of Jan. and I'm still using old foggie language. But then that could me that I am a old foggie I guess thats better than being an old fart!

But, back to traveling, i look like a pillow salesman. I usually pack around 6 pillows for the trip. And as the trip goes along, where I begin to feel a pressure spot or just need to relocate to a more comfortable position i just move one of my pillows with me. Works out great. Oh, and don't forget the drugs

Welcome to the group, I too am very new and have found so much support here. It is nice to find a place to vent to others that are going through the same thing as you! Vent away and we are glad you have joined us!

Take care,

Hi Booklady, When you mentioned old foggie I was thinking you were old. Then I looked at your profile and found out you were only 2 years older then me....Repeat after me..YOU ARE NOT OLD! When you mentioned being old, it reminded me of what a doctor told me about Fibro. He said he has never seen it in people over 60 years of age. I told him "I have something to look forward to." Do you think he's right? Is there anyone on this site that is over sixty that has it? If I may ask Booklady, I'm not a Librairian but I love antique books. I love to read old love novels and how they tell about the victorian dresses and their way of life in the 1800's.Its soooo romantic Well I am going to up the pillow count! I hope it helps. Have a great day, Kaze

Kaze,

The doc that told you that is full of it! There are times when I'm having a flare that it looks like my eyes are barely open because my FACE is soo swollen! Not to mention everything else!

Anyhow, I hope you have a good trip~

Thanks Suzee, my face eyes and hands are swollen this morning. And my neck and lower back is hurting, also my jaws, I think just the anticipation of the trip is putting me into a tail spin. I am thinking its anxiety, sooo I think my plan for today would be to take one pain pill and one anxiety pill and maybe it will calm down before tomorrow morning. This is the first trip I've gone on with resources. I am just not sure how to use them. Everything seems like a guessing game. Wow, I guess I needed to get that out too!!! Kaze

Hi Kaze, nice to have you join us.

I was reading and noticed you and some others experience swelling. In the mornings when i wake up i have so much swelling in my face so much so i have to put a wash cloth on my face for a little bit to get the swelling down.

Again, welcome to the group. Hope to get to know you soon.

Alicia

Alica, that is so good to know, thats exacly what I feel like doing. I'll see if that works. When I have my coffee I always put my face up to the steam...It feels good. OK, you might find out I am a little weird the more I type Kaze
