Morning FMily....MiMi in NC....and the rain has arrived....woke up too darn early this am and then it seemed like forever until I was able to go back to sleep....about the time I got to sleep....the furbabies decided it was time for them to get up and go out....so I left them out of their room and tried to let them out the door....they refused....it was raining and raining hard. They hate to get wet to begin with. I knew they needed to go but that was NOT going to happen. So they settled back down and waited until it stopped raining. Finally they were able to get outside and by this time Harley arrived for the week-end. My older son dropped her off as she stays with me when he is here for the week-end. She is a BIG dog and such a sweetheart. I do not like BIG dogs but she is really good. I have kept her off and on since she was a puppy and house trained her. She behaves good for me until her master shows up and then she does not listen. She is indeed a funny dog. It is funny just how they change. I think she gets by with more when she leaves with him.

Anyway....our GD is suppose to have a game and it is also picture day, but I am not sure that the game will be played. The rain has stopped and it does not always rain in surrounding little towns and cities so I guess I will call my son and see if indeed the game is on. It is suppose to shower off and on for several days now. My body *feels* the dampness too, which is not a good thing.

Here is hoping each of you had a good week and rested well. I hope today will be a good day for us all, with little to no pain.

Welcome to the new members who have joined our FM support group recently. I am sure that soon each of you will find what works for you. It does take time and effort....so hang in here with us and learn what others do that has worked for them. You should remember though that what works for one person may or may not work for you. It normally takes a *combination of Tools* which actually work. You just have to figure out just what the combination is. Everything is a process for us FMers....there are no quick fixes that I am aware of.

Vitamin D....be sure and ask your doctor about checking your level...which is important for a lot of people these days. Low Vitamin D does cause additional pain for some people and it can also affect other illnesses as well. It is important also to make sure that once you get your level back to within the normal range....that you keep it there. For whatever reason I am not sure that this happens for us FMers. Perhaps our bodies can not contain the *normal level* for whatever reason. But I know that I can tell when my level is not quite where it needs to be.

So much going on around the country. It is almost unreal just what takes place any more. And I think I have *issues*. I have to be thankful that mine are not as worse as they could be. I have to remind myself also that no more is given to me than I can handled....I just have to figure out how to cope with what I have. This too is a process.

I hope some of you can and will enjoy the sunshine, if you have it today. I will be waiting for the weather to clear up here.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it on this Saturday.

Hi, all! I have been away for a while. I had a lot going on and I had to get it all together again. I think we may finally be on the road to getting my fibro under control. We aren't quite there yet but I am noticing a slight improvement. My new regimen is Vit D, Calcium, Vit B12, Soma to relax muscles, Klonopin for RLS, Meloxicam for the arthritis in my hips/knees/ankles, HCTZ for edema and Lyrica for fibro (just started this but it is working better than the Savella did), and Ambien for sleep. I also use hot showers and a heated mattress pad and a liniment when necessary. I am stil having issues with back pain and degenerative disc disorder and I fall a lot due to pressure on nerves. I need to go back to the ortho for pain relief for that but I will be seeing him soon. I also had surgery for cubital tunnel syndrome on my right arm in mid April. I had a hard cast on and was supposed to wear it for 2 weeks, well after 4 days they had to cut it off because the cotton batting under it was irritating my skin. Well a few days after they cut the cast off I was at my brothers wedding and I fell on the concrete and landed on my bad arm. Now, where my arm made contact with the ground the skin from my wrist to elbow is completely numb and the muscle underneath and possibly the nerve too feels like a bad tooth ache. Kind of like a bad tooth where the nerve is exposed....and it affects my whole fore arm. Unfortunately the surgeon says that it might stay that way permanently. My arm isn't even fully healed from the surgery yet I still have a few weeks to go but he says if those symptoms don't go away they may have to go back in there and see of there is anything they can do to fix it which will put my right arm out of commission for another 6-12 weeks

I hope you all are doing well and I will try to be better at checking in and responding to posts and helping where I can!View Thread

TGIF****well it is Friday again....and May is moving right along here. It will soon be another month gone for this year. My time does fly by doesn't it? MiMi in NC where rain is expected off and on for the next 5 days....OMG....and I can feel it in my bones....it actually started yesterday in my left wrist. Have not had this feeling in a long time. Not good for the mind or the body. So....I am sure we will get the 2 plus inches that has been predicted.

DH got the yard mowed and trimmed yesterday....which is a good thing....since it will be so damp this week-end.

Welcome to the new members who have joined our FM support group. I am sure that soon each of you will find something that will help you cope better. So hang in here and learn all you can about what others have found that has worked for them. It does take time and effort. Actually everything is a process in dealing with the wrath of the dragon. We have to also remember that what works for some may or may not work for you. Only you will know when you have found the right combination of *tools* that has made a difference for you.

Vitamins and supplements, plus other tools work for me. I use my heating pad a lot which sure helps my lower back....actually this is the only thing that eases this pain. Gentle stretches and exercises also is a plus. Movement of the body is also important and drinking plenty of water is also a must for me. Stopain Spray helps when the pain will not ease...at least for a short time anyway.

Vitamin D....again I remind everyone who has NOT done so yet....talk to your doctor about getting your Vitamin D level checked....which is important to a lot of people these days.
Low Vitamin D can cause additional pain for some of us and it can also affect other illnesses as well.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Here is hoping everyone will have a good....no or low pain weekend. Remember to pace, pace and pace even more.

IN GOD WE TRUST....MAY GOD BLESS AND GUIDE AMERICA....

Posted by Dollbug

Morning FMily.....MiMi in NC....where it is chilly this morning....but dry and it is going to be nice weather until Friday where showers are expected...it is predicted that this will be the last *cool* morning we will have for a while....as it is suppose to be higher than normal temps-around 10* higher. So much for the spring time weather I guess.

My DD ended up and did not have court as the judge did not show up. So she had to go again this morning. I continue to hope and pray that things get straightened out soon. I think her attorneys got a bird's eye view of just what she is up against. The man tried to get the bailiff to arrest her in court. OMG....I really have no idea what is wrong with people these days.

Here is hoping everyone had a good night's rest and I hope today will be a good day for us all.

Welcome to the new members who have joined our FM support group. I noticed yesterday was a very slow day. I hope this mean that everyone is feeling better and out and about doing other things. We normally have more traffic during the week than on week-ends.

For the new members I hope that each of you will check out the info under *tips* and *resources* and I hope you will also review the *member toolbox* which has some good *tools* that you might have not thought of trying. I also hope that when you find anything that helps you cope better that you will share this info with the FMily. This is why we are here to offer our support and to share things that we have found to ease our pain. As for the chronic fatigue I wish I could find something for this. I am now taking the P5P to see if it might help this. Just started though so it will be a while before I can tell. I was speaking to the person running the vitamin store and he says that it might indeed help. He knows it has helped people who have heart issues.

Vitamin D....be sure and ask your doctor to check your Vitamin D level which is important.

Have a good day....remember to pace, pace and pace even more.

Morning FMily....MiMi in NC where it was chilly this morning but it is going to be a nice sunny day....actually it is going to be a nice sunny week where the temps for a couple of days will be in the low 80*s. OMG....almost summerlike weather. Thunder storms might arrive Friday night.

Here is hoping everyone had a great Mother's day. I enjoyed it. We had a cook out with hamburgers. It was an easy fix. My younger son had to work and this was not the week-end with my granddaughter. We did get to see her play ball on Saturday. She was happy to see her daddy. It is quite amazing to see how much this little girl has changed in just 2 months since the first visit our family had with her in March. She is now so very happy and loves her cousins....she is a bit rough and tough with them but I hope this gets better with time. She is the oldest and she take advantage of the situation. She always gives my older GS a big hug though. They are all so cute together but a handful. I had a nice day. The GS brought me flowers and a big cookie.

My daughter has a court date today and I am hoping and praying that all goes well with this. (this is just one of several now). I now understand so much more now than I use to about just how our system works/or not. It is so sad some of the things which can happen to people.

Welcome to the new members who have joined our FM support group and welcome back to those who have returned. As we say here....once a FMer, always a FMer. We are glad that you are a part of our FMily. We have a good group here and a lot of valuable information to share. Be sure and check out the info under *tips* and *resources* here as I am sure you will find some good *tools* that perhaps you have not thought of.

Vitamin D....be sure and ask your doctor to check your Vitamin D level which is important. Low Vitamin D can cause additional pain for some of us and it can also affect other illnesses as well. \

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Have a good Monday.

TGIF****and a good morning to each of you. Here is hoping everyone had a good night's rest and I hope today will be a good day for us all. MiMi in NC where the sun is shining here today but rain is expected again.

OMG....what a very stressful day I had yesterday. In the morning I kept my GS and he was really good. I spoke to my DD and she wanted me to take her to turn herself in again to be served the 2 warrants and 1 summons that were taken out on her in the past 2 weeks today. My DD has done nothing. She and her DH met with a detective this week and had a interview with him. She said that she felt like the young man was quite *shocked* to hear her side of this saga. This man's boss was also in on the meeting and my DD said there were quite a few remarks were made which were interesting to hear. All of the warrants and summons but one has been *self initiated warrants* by the ex law enforcement officer, who no doubt, must be trying to *set some sort of record* with filing false reports. I have no idea. I do know that I am sick and tired to all of this mess and I have reached out to anyone and everyone who I thought might help. So far, nothing has been done. I can now understand just how *things happen and nothing is done*.... Anyway, my DD had an order which had been signed and filed from a judge that she was to be released with promise to appear for the court date set. I was quite surprised that her *visit* lasted less than an hour.....OMG....this was a record set for us. I think in the past it has taken at least 3 plus hours. They did not actually do any of the *normal processing* on her. So perhaps someone, somewhere is looking closer to just what has taken place here.

I think this made either 7 or 8 times that the lunatic has filed false charges against her. Most states do NOT even have *self initiated warrants. I have contacted the NC General Assembly (lawmakers) about this and I would hope that someone would do something about this weird law....but as with anything else, I am not holding my breath.

OK.....I think I have BIG problems until I listen to what is going on elsewhere and I have decided that I am just having some really bad days here. THIS TOO WILL PASS, sooner or later. Enough on my soap opera.

Welcome to the new members who have joined our FM support group....I am sure that each of you will soon find something that will help you cope better. It does take a trial and error process though which does take time and effort. So hang in here and learn all you can about what others have found that has made a difference in how they cope better.

Be sure and check under *tips* and *resources* as some good *tools* can be found there. You should remember though that what works for one person may or may not help you. Only you will know when you have found the *just right combination of tools* which has made a difference in the way you feel.

Vitamin D....so important for a lot of people these days. Low Vitamin D can cause additional pain and it can also affect other illnesses as well.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it on this Friday before Mother's Day. Remember those people who are important to you.

Morning FMily....MiMi in NC and it is dry this morning....I am so glad that hopefully there will NOT be any rain today....we did get showers again yesterday. It is going to be in the high 70's today and might hit 80's tomorrow. The temps recently have been lower than what is normal for this time of the year.

Here is hoping each of you had a good night's rest and I hope today will be a good day for us all. I hope everyone will have some warm sunshine to enjoy.

Welcome to the new members who have joined our FM support group recently. I am sure that soon each of you will find something that will help you cope better. It does take a trial and error process which does take time and effort. Learn about what others have found that helps them cope better and find out if it will also work for you.

This morning I saw where they now think a lot of back issues can be fixed by antibiotics. OMG...can you imagine this? I find this quite interesting that this has taken so long to figure out. One would have thought that medical researchers would have known to check such as this out as being a cause of back pain. I do know that the only thing that actually helps me is a heating pad. Do not quite understand just why but it is true. I have tried all sorts of things and nothing really helps it for long. Low back pain is just a very ignoring thing to deal with almost like the wrath of the dragon, aka FM.

Vitamin D....be sure and ask your doctor to check your Vitamin D level if you have not already done so. Low Vitamin D can cause additional pain for a lot of people and it can also affect other illnesses as well.

Mother's Day is right around the corner. Remember the ones who have been an important part of your life. I received a very nice card yesterday from a person I kind of know....actually she is someone I have communicated with for a while. (long story here).
It was such a nice thing for her to remember me.

That's all folks. Here is hoping everyone has a great Thursday. I hope today is a better day for those who have had a lot going on recently, with sickness as well as other issues.

Remember to pace, pace and pace even more today.

IN GOD WE TRUST....MAY GOD BLESS AND GUIDE AMERICA....

Posted by Dollbug

Morning FMily....MiMi in NC and we have sunshine....and no rain....I will take this....it is a bit cool but that's ok as well. I was able to sleep through the night which was a good thing as well too. I was really very tired. Had too much going on yesterday but was glad that I got it done....sometimes, we, FMers, must do what we have to do regardless.

P5P-OK....going to share something with everyone here. Not sure that I will get it all straight. My daughter called me yesterday and she was explaining something to me that she had heard one of the doctors telling on a tv show. This is a woman doctor who shares thing with viewers about health issues. So here goes. According to this doctor there are people who can not break down Vitamin 6...and there is now something which might be connected to this issue. For several years now I have my toes next to the big toe which is out of line/out of place. Whatever happened to cause this, I have no idea. But it is in a *higher* place than the rest of my toes. It started on the left foot and it is now also on the right foot. When it first started I made an appointment with a foot specialist who told me that it would continue until I would be forced to have surgery. I opted to not have it taken care of and it continues to slowly rise, right by itself.

Anyway, my daughter was listening to this doctor and she was indicating that this is a sign that the body might not be producing Vitamin B 6....but there is a way around this issue. A person can take P5P which is already broken down for people. And the other symptoms of this all go along with things that I too have....chronic fatigue being one of them. So I am going to check on this and speak to someone at the vitamin store about it. Carpal tunnel is also an issue which people can have from this.

I have had major issues with carpal tunnel....actually had 7 hand surgeries, but only 5 for the carpal tunnel problems. I can honestly say that only when I fell outside and broke each wrist did I finally see and feel a real difference in my hands. I think it was due to the surgeon having to put plates and pins in both wrists. Now I do not know exactly what this did to help my hand other than to fix the bones which were broken...but after recovery I could tell there was something quite different about my hands.
It was first my right hand and then several years later it was the left hand. I continued to have issues with both hand until this took place.

I am so very thankful that I hardly ever have any problems now with them but I would not wish falling for anyone and breaking any bones....as both times were extremely painful, to say the very least.

OK...enough on this...just wanted to share.

Here is hoping everyone had a good night's rest...and I hope today will be a great day for us all.

Welcome to the new members who have joined our unique FM support group. I am sure that soon each of you will find something that will help you cope better. Learn all you can about the wrath of the dragon, aka FM...and what others have found that has made a difference for them. It does take time and effort...as I know of NO QUICK FIXES.

Vitamin D...be sure and ask your doctor to check your Vitamin D level...which seems to be a issue for a lot of people these days...and not only those of us who have FM.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Remember to pace, pace and pace even more.
