Hi Robert, looking forward to reading more of your posts in regards to men and fibro. I hope you can get their attention thru your posts, if I come across any I'll send them your way. I really want to find out how men with fibro handle the pain,stress,relationships,work etc. I hope that this doesn't sound to corney, I am just curious as to how men handle this disease, and what kind of support you get from your family/friends. I also can't believe that you don't take anything for your pain! How long has it been since you've taken pain meds? I was diagnosed with Fibro 4 yrs. ago, prior to that I had a back injury in Dec. of 94. I have been on all kinds of different pain meds since Dec.94....and to think that b4 my back injury I wouldn't even take aspirin for a headache! Now I can't imagine going a day without my pain meds. I give you a lot of credit for being med free! I agree with you about the side effects of the pain meds, but when you can't get out of bed, can't walk, and every inch of your body hurts I guess I can deal with the side effects just so I can function. Well sorry for rambling on..that should be my name! lol, I wish you the best of luck with all and again look forward to reading more of your posts. Take care, Lots of hugs Deanna |
"MDJunction to me has been the helping friends of understanding that I have needed. I feel now as if someone else it the world understands the things that I am going through. I feel less alone and happier. Here I can let out all my emotions and get support from many people who have been in similar situations. It really has been a life saver for me!" (Amanda78)
