"My mother is dealing with chronic pain and has fibromyalgia" (worrieddaughter09)

MDJunction to me

"MDJunction to me is somewhere i feel safe i feel i can be myself and not be judged. I love the fact that i get to see that im not alone in what i am going through and i also get the chance to help others on their journey through guidance and communication.
I would truly be lost without MDJunction... to me its my savior, my personal place to go where i don’t feel so alone anymore in the world.

booklady Cathy, this post is so fun, funny and entertaining -- great idea!

My brain is fibro-mush right now and I can't focus well enough to think clearly about all of those questions! I was just diagnosed with ADD and the new meds are helping but not that much yet --my Adderall wore off a couple hours ago -- so now it's back to being queen of the airheads.

I think my life isn't all that intesting anyway but my boobs, well, that's another story. I need a boob bob or do they call it a boob lift? After years of breastfeeding my boobs look like those native women on the cover of the National Geographic. I loved my breastfeeding years

and I loved having bigger boobs, while losing a ton of weight in the process. Easiest diet I was ever on, only had to veg out in front of the TV lift my shirt and eat like a horse!)

It was the only time besides pregnancy I ever had boobs -- till NOW after gaining 50 lbs back from the fibro meds -- so....I finally have boobs without being a nursing mother -- and they hang down to my belly button! Thank God for the Wonder Bra! I used to think I'd like a boob lift someday if I had the money until I went to a couple of websites about plastic surgeries gone wrong...with actual pictures of botched boob jobs. OMG! There is NO WAY I will ever let a plastic surgeon touch my boobs now! It was scary stuff...women left scarred, disfigured and having to have multiple surgeries to try to correct the damage. It was so sad...these women only wanted a little confidence boost and ended up in pain, with infections, and having to pay thousands of dollars for all of those corrective surgeries. I decided that sagging boobs are the least of my worries and to let nature take its course...

thank you Suzi for sharing that cute story about your daughter and that song Mary Moe! That song is featured in that movie Dumb and Dumber with Jim Carrey and it was just on TV here a couple of weeks ago. I love comedies -- the dumber the better -- and having a good laugh.

I will admit to laughing hard at some really bad, stupid movies that got really terrible reviews from the critics. I guess you could say I don't have a sophisticated sense of humor. I took my boys to see Drillbit Taylor and LMAO even though the critics are calling this one of the worst movies ever made. Shows you what they know!

LOL!!!!!

The color of the girbles make them exotic. but i would be rich if I had a pole dancing girbel.

For anyone who does not know what a girble is. It is a rodant, small as a hamster with a long tail. The tail is soft and furry all over. It is not like a rat tail. Most that you can find is black. I have some colors that are different. I have 2 that are the colors of a calico cat. I had a white with tan ears, but she is was killed. Right now I have 8 babies that I an waiting to see what colors they are going to be. I can already tell a few of them are carmiled color with gray or black ears and tail.

One that is all tan with no other coloring.

oops, forgot to answer some questions:

Making it easier for fibro? On trips take lots of pillows and get out and walk, put all the heavey stuff closer to your reach. And talk to Fibro Friends!

My favorite flower is: Sunflowers

Song: Look at us Now, by Vince Gill

I love the smell of Lilics

a huge help with my fibromyalgia was getting rid of caustic everyday products and starting on quality vitamins. I have a friend who did the same, she was bedridden before using them and now is pain free!! PRAISE THE LORD!!

you can check out the products we use in our home at www.saferforyourhome.com

they work great & don't cost much, which is another bonus. Plus they get shipped to your front door so you don't have to lug them in our out of anywhere

Anyhow, back to the 'boob convo' for a second. Dragonfly, throw some of that DD over here...I'll save $$ that way! And, hipmama I sooo know what you mean about the 'jobs gone wrong'. I've seen soo many but did find a good doc that I am very confident with. I won't be having it for quite some time and I wanted to let you all know that my DH said if I end up with one nipple on my chin and the other on my bellybutton...HE'S OUTTA HERE!!! HeeHee

Heck...maybe that'll be my 'secret' I can share with you later on! "Where" my nipples are! Well hey...if that happens and I have then pierced, I could have my nipples, chin AND bellybutton pierced all at the same time!! LOLOL

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

I have a boob job, no really! I had cancer at 24 and had to have my breast removed. Then a bad boob job with silicone implant, had it taken out, then the good boob job, and a tummy tuck thrown in! I had what is called a tram flap operation. They take tissue and fat from your abdomen to form a natural breast. In the meantime, they are firming up your abdomen as well! At the same time, my wonderful plastic surgeon did a maxtoplexy on my other breast to enhance it and lift it, he did it for free!! A month later I went back to get my areola and nipple put on. They are from another part of my body.........
