"I am a survivor of domestic violence" (Sunshine0826)

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." (Storm6751)

 Its really hard. My teenager hates me! Last night she was so mad that I wouldnt drive her some where because I am having bad side effects from my lyrica. Plus I am in so much pain all the time all I do is yell at every one anymore.

 Random drunk right now. I have eaten and everything and I took my meds 3 hours ago! I would not be able to drive if I had to. I talked to the pharmisist and she said that happens in some people and it should go away. I have only been on it for...this will be my 3rd day. I am only giving it a week though. I dont feel its helping.

 I also have kids one 8 and one 15 and I am like foxy me and my teenager argue all the time I sometimes feel like he thinks I am such a lolser or just lazy cause I ask for help around the house and he will say stuff like I just got home and I didn't make the mess or I just got off football practice and I am tired what have you done all day which of course I will blow up when asked that. My 8 year old tries to help but I have noticed she is picking up bad habits after her brother and wants to get an attitude when I ask her to do stuff. I thought I wanted more kids but had to have a hysterectomy but now I realize I wouldn't be able to take care of a baby the way they need to be taken care of. I don't know how anyhone with small kids does it I guess you just do the best you can and let God take care of the rest.

 I have 2 children a 2 yr old & a 5 yr old . I am on 75 mg of Lyrica one time a day & have already noticed a difference . But now i am having what i call weird pains. the other morning i woke up with shin splints & today the muscles in my bottom are like steel rods. sitting hurts . I jokingly told my husband that is this is what buns of steel feel like i dont want them!!! I went to a wedding reception tonight & had to keep walking around cause it hurt so bad to sit. Now my legs, feet & thighs hurt from walking.... I cant win !

 I to notice weird pains at different times just depends on where the fibro wnat to attack on that day for me but yes my butt has hurt at times and even my toes and I know what you mean about not being able to win that seems to be life with fibro. LOL hope you feel better soon. If you need anything just yell.
