Hello fibro folks
Well another bad night and in much pain and nausea today of course this decreases my appeite again,I went on a web sight and found that fibro does cause nausea ,vomiting, loss of appetite and stomack cramps.I also reead Dr Starylands book and she said it also causes these symptoms.Has anyone experiences any of these symptoms. I know with lack of sleep this can bring on many phsical symptoms. I think of all of you at night and pray that we can find a cure. You guys have been so good too listen to my problems.View Thread

Dear Anon
FM is not a new diagnosis for me I was diagnosed in1993 when noone knew what to do I was sick again for months put on Klonapin and exercise and slowly recovered.I was in remission until 1998 and had a very bad flareup again about 4 months. I guess age is getting the better of me and now I have other health issues plus developed thrush w.I lost my appetite at the beginning of this and now because of mouth sores and possible esophagitis I eat very little.The pharmacologist who treated me was boucing me around too many meds. And now I have to space them so I can swallow them. I have counseled many over the years with fms but now I have to take some of my own advise. Thanks for hearing me out. At least I have this support group to vent. FranView Thread

Dear Fribro family
It has been 5 weeks sick this major flare up I feel I am making not to much progress. I am waiting for an app at Brighams and Woman's hosptial in Boston on the 22th hoping for the first cancellation. Two trips to the Er .Then I developed thrush in my mouth down into the esophagitis.My primary MD is so understanding but he is trying to take care of the BP problems . I go to bed at night full of hope of what I can do the next day. Then again another day of fitful and sleepless nights. I waky up after hours of no sleep acky and listless. My appetite is still not great.I cannot believe I was the lead nurse of a school system who retired last year took care of 400 children plus in charge of the town and it has come down to this. I am fearful to go out because of the pain. My poor husband feels I am getting better but I donnot see it. I will not return to the psych MD because he pushes too many pills . I pray all the time hoping God will renew my strength.Has anyone one else experienced this. I need my life back,I feel I have so much more to give. Thanks FranView Thread

Good Morning Fibro folks
As I look at the snow that fell on Boston we recieved about 4-8 inches and realize how many of us suffer worse in the winter. Today is sunday and I am usually heading out the door for Mass . This makes about 4 weks I have miss it. I am trying to lay low. As I said yesterday in my post I haven't had a bad flare up like this since 1998. I Guess I have been lucky. And today there is so much known about this disease. I guess the flare lasted 4 months. But age is not on my side and with that we have less coping mechanisms. I guess you are you are never rid of this disease.These pills really are not working so I will be going into Boston to see an MD to see what they can offer me. Sleep doesn't come easy.If I am lucky It is between 2-4 hours but unrestful. My I feel as all of do we are missing so many aspects in our life because of this,the pain I can take my a sense of normalcy is hard. My question is how long do your fibro flares last and how do you get through it. Peace to you all. FranView Thread
