"I have fibromyalgia." (Deke)

MDJunction to me

"When I was diagnosed I was scared didn't know what to do or where to go..I started reserching bipolar and somehow ended up here at MD....Again scared but needing to know what was in store I asked a question..WOW the people who care..I know I would be lost now if I did not join..made many friends and they have helped me through thick and thin. and never judged...........XX Thank you MD and all.Love all of you.......Laurie Pachin" (puppylover)

I JUST WANT TO SAY TO ALL THE NURSES OUT THERE...WHEN YOU EARN AND WORK FOR THAT DEGREE YOU GOT FOR A NURSE AND PASSED THE NCLEX YOU ARE ALWAYS A NURSE!!!!! YOU EARNED IT...EVEN IF YOU DON'T WORK AS A NURSE RIGHT NOW!! LOOK INTO GETTING AN ON CALL JOB THROUGH A HOME HEALTH AGENCY...YOU WORK OUT OF THE HOUSE AND GET PAID FOR IT!!

I JUST HAD TO GET THAT OUT...SORRY FOR SHOUTING.....BECAUSE I AM A NURSE AND PROUD OF IT BECAUSE I WORKED MY BUTT OFF GETTING THAT PIECE OF PAPER!! SO SHOULD YOU!

Hugs,
Barb

Thank you Barb. It is hard to leave a career you love. Especially one where you were so in touch with people. I am a nurse too. I miss it so much I dream about working.

today is a test for me. I am going to work without taking my prozac to see if that will help? I took my meds last nite before i went to bed but it is still so hard to realize how i let myself become depended on meds to get through a day. sometimes i feel so ashamed of myself and noone understand that is around me what pain and fatigue i must fight to keep myself going. I keep hereing from people" you need to work through the pain" I wish i could give the pain to them so they can understand me. the only one in my family that understand the pain i am in is aunt who has something like fibro but its more autoimmune based.

It is scary to realize that you need medication to function, but at the same time it can be reassuring to know that there is something that will help you get through the day.

Don't feel alone. We do understand.

Thanks Barb, I have tried working for a home health agency, and would still be there if it wasn't for the fact that they refused to listen when I told them I couldn't lift patients. Then there is the small problem of blacking out unexpectedly, makes people not want to hire you. I do agree those who have worked to become a nurse have really earned it, and should be proud of it. AshNicMar, I hope your day goes fantastic, you amaze me,I would never get dressed if not for my meds. "Work through the pain", LOL LOL, I can't hardly see "through the pain".
May the sun bring you new energies by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night ,
May the rain wash away any worries you may have,
And the breeze blow new strength into your being,
And then,all the days of your life,
May you walk gently through the world,and know it’s beauty and yours.
