It came a week later. A blessingView Thread

I go to my Fibro Dr and will start a new med. I get such awful side effects on top of my health I stop.
I go to my PDR and he says "yes I've never heard anyone say anything positive about it, that's why I never said lets try it""
A yr later there running adds from lawyers saying did you take this drug and their working on a class action.
Read the label inside. They test on as little as 600 people for a couple weeks. SCARYView Thread

I'm now rt smack In tornado alley. If the barometric pressure drops below 30 I've got one of 3types of HA's. Most are scale 8-10 migraines. I spend the Feb - Sep TStorm & Tornado season in bed puking, screaming make it stop. Giving my self many shots in hopes I can take some pain Meds. It last two -three days, I start solid food again -another front comes in. I avg 2-4 all week and then try and recover from them. Then another front out of no where hits migraine again ive had aruguments saying a BIG fronts moving in my husband says "no clear as a bell" come 3a.m. Im puking again and hearing im sorry. I can lose 5-10 lbs in a week I'm so sick. How do I fight fibro/CFS living on crackers and broth for each week during the storm season? That's why it's so complicated. His travels aren't the same days of the week. What if I WAS alone? He's already come home from a trip to England to find me out cold. Best guess was 3 days on floor. I spent 9 in hospital trying to get well. So dehydrated I had some wild hullucinations (sp).
Then I feel even more fibro pain etc. I guess I didn't state it clear enough. Not just the fibro would make me move. It made NO difference in the other states unless it was warmer weather.
The heat and humidity are so bad in the summer it's hard to go outside with my high blood pressure, they can't get controlled, and I start to faint. Dry heat feels good to me. This is 9 months I'm talking about. I would come back mid Sep.
I admire you all have lives I really do and I want at least to walk my dog a block.
It's very complicated. Just like my health.
Thanks my groupies for your reflection.View Thread

Always a new chronic issue. We all pretty much read like your symptoms. I just read 10 million people is the estimate of fibro people. We need money for research.
If you want to read some of the latest info, look on the rt side were it says tips. Go to the bottom and it will say see all. There's a list there with maybe ten sites. You'll have to type in the www and . Com unless it says different.
Hang out with us. We're a good group, kind and helpful. I say that from how I've been treated!
Ask questions or vent we are here for all.
By the way I get your migraines. FEB-SEP in tornado alley gives you no life but bed and shots w/Meds and a bucket. Not how I saw my life. A simple transfer for my husband and I lost my life.
Best wishes to you and welcome!

I brought up a food service to my counselor and she thought if we could find a good one, I would get stronger and the new climate might renew my humor and FIGHT. I just worry about being alone. I've fallen 2x in last month blah blah blah. Maybe it would help to just have to do it or I'm Hosed. I can zap a meal. Housework is hard. So is walking my dog. I gave up driving from Meds and fog. I would miss my honey put they hop around the states every week in the co. Jet so what's the difference? I think I'm at the quality of my life and making it better but don't want my husband to feel rejected or hurt. It's so complex.
If he tells me he couldn't live my life is that a round about ok let's see if it helps? Without a service I couldn't make it. Planned on renting a med size condo in a gated area with 24 security.must also have an alarm to call for help.
My little dog would be my company. Sometimes it's hard to make these big choices. I don't even know if I could handle the drive there. Together.
I just need to know if it would give me a better life.
Well there's a vent of pondering. Thanks for being here for me. Help yourself a little each day and youll regain your inner strength! I'm sooooo ready. Take care
Oh yes have everything you asked about. ThanksView Thread

Thank you tons. Your a dollView Thread

Now I set the Fri deadline to put the PJ's away and I couldn't do it. Makes me feel like a guilty failure. It's just stuff but I want my home together the way I like it.....
This is why we've gone back to our counselor. I'm consumed by illness and HATE to ask for help. Our counselor helps us solve several issues in 45 mins AND my husband is following through.
I've been feeling down and a little unworthy of all he does. But if the tables were turned I'd be my husband

It has been funny to see him grocery shop or stand staring at the vacuum wondering how to turn it on. The laughter binds usView Thread
