Well, it’s been about a month now since I was diagnosed. My husband handles it like he handles everything else, in silence and in private. My sons are aware of it (the oldest anyway) but aren’t equipped to deal with the gravity of it yet. My parents aren’t much help, they have their own issues and are a state away.
I have a beloved, dear friend that will listen until his ears fall off to my fears about the future and what it holds in store for me but he’s not always easily accessible :o)
So, it falls then to those of you that read this. In this day of hard, cold communication I have to face hard, cold reality......again.
My life has taken it’s twists, turns and down-right demolitions but this is something that I feel on a daily basis. Makes it hard to disassociate myself with this condition when it’s slapping me in the face as soon as I wake in the morning. My pain is bearable, thankfully, for now. I’m still able to get out of the house and do things at this point which I’m extremely grateful for.
When I look back just five years ago and compare my health to what it was then, that’s when I get depressed. That’s what gets me to wondering where I’ll be five years from now.
Okay, enough for today because I could ramble on for hours and not get anything done. Live, Love & Laugh

Today is special because it’s your birthday, and even though some of the things in your life might not be to your satisfaction, today is the day you put them aside and celebrate yourself!!!!
40 is Fabulous, Fibromyalgia sucks, no argument there, but there are ways to deal with it. Believe me I know....I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis last year, and went from very energetic individual to completely disabled. I couldn't walk from my bed to my bathroom. With doctors trying to inject me with everything they could possibly come up with, I did my research, told them all to go to hell and now 9 months later, I'm almost pain free. PLEASE read my blog on
Miracle of Nature
and please check out the test that I took that saved my life. It's ALL about the food.
alcat.com tests for food sensitivities, not allergies. After I got tested I found out that I couldn’t have olive oil, what? that’s healthy....but I couldn’t 5 days on the diet I was 5
better. After 3 month of the diet my SED rate (blood test that measures inflammation in ones body) showed 63
decrees.

Fibromyalgia! Yes...I know that disease well! So, if you need information...you want to discuss at length...I am here for you! I have had it for a long time but was actually diagnosed with it and have been treated for it for the past two years. I have found great doctors! I really had to pray about it and get some great support before I felt that someone was really listening to me. So don’t feel desperate, alone or that you are crazy! You are not! You are not depressed! Do not let people convince you that you have made all of this up. Do not let people tell you that it is all in your head...it is not. It is real and it is painful and it is hard to deal with!!! and you are not alone!!! Really...this site is great! It is a way to reach out to others!!! I’m so sorry that you have to deal with this, but the good news is that you will get to a place where you can learn to live with this diagnosis and you can get the right treatment for you...whatever that is! I can tell you what worked for me, but that might not work for you...it will be up to you to explore all and everything. But I would start by finding a doctor in your area that really understands what fibromyalgia is and just doesn’t prescribe depression medication for you...that is the first step. Best wishes...really best wishes as you move along to feeling better!!!! And you will...I know. Dana
Following rabbit trails. I was reading the friendship blog, and hopped over to your profile to invite you to be my friend, when I saw this post of long ago.
Fibro isn’t a fun bedfellow, but it is conquerable.
I have only been to SoCal once. I absolutely loved it! We are moving to Colorado soon, so I am sure our beach vacations will take us there instead of Florida.
I am looking forward to getting to know you.
