Another doctor!!!

Thanks sis I have the right type of support right here with you guys,and a Dr who seems to know what he's on about. So while its certainly not good news, its not the worst either

Yup, you got the right combo! You're going to be just fine.

What meds did the doc give you for anxiety? one very curious...and anxious!

He told me to take the Ethipramine at night for 2 weeks, if it doesn't help me relax in general, he'll give me Ativan.He says I need to be more relaxed coz being so tightly wound up exacerbates the pain...

awww, trippin', that suuuuucks.

But at least it looks you are in good hands.

Yes Venus, it seems to be in good hands You guys have been so amazingly supportive since this nightmare started in April, idk what I would have done without you Sorry Venus, couldn't resist being huggy huggy

Do you have access to a pool? I go to a warm water pool that is designed specifically for people who need rehabilitative aquatic exercise. I mean, I just use it as a pool, but others go to special classes and use special floating devices and resistance training devices and what not.

Fibro sucks ! The flares come and go for most people. Stress is a huge factor in your pain level. I'm glad you found a doctor that is HELPING you, finally.

If there is a hot springs near you, that is always good. There are two where I live and both have healing properties. Something about the mineral water. Haven't been for many years, tho.

No hot springs nearby, but my sister has a hot tub, and I'm sure the gym has a heated pool... Ugh, reminds me that dr said I should exercise, doesn't he know I'm allergic to that s...hit! You guys have been awesome, thanks

how you doin?..

Lia...how you be?....
you quiet...tis' okay...

hope you are ok

I'm ok Jamesy spent the day mostly watching pilot episodes. Apparantly I will be watching 'Shameless' , 'Franklyn & Bash' and 'Sanctuary' along with 'Lie to me' which I started the other day... This week at home was good for my psyche, but I honestly dont want to go back to work Monday, But maybe its just the rebel in me acting out coz I dont have a choice... How are you?

you just be testing out the limits Lia honey...and finding out they aint so terrible?...

since I known you you never took time out for you and filling in the gaps?...."lie to me"...I enjoyed that show..

but it's more than that...it's about 'equalizing' with the world around you...

otherwise you will destroy it halfway past it tried to burn you...

sometimes especially it's important to let the questions fly!...

like ..WHAT?...and ...WHAT FOR?....

this happens when we get dis-spirited!....and you Lia...are easily distracted when you lose HEART!.......

me too

you tell me time after time! let future James deal with it...

allow future Lia deal with it! ..you know she will

...I'm ok I think....very transparent right now....

and it's ok to say "I don't know"...

lv, J

Transparancy isn't always a bad thing... And you're right, future Lia can deal with the BS

and she will....

Lmao, yip, no doubt about that

the transparency thing?

thats what really sends me sideways...

I live upside down....just to avoid whats really 'up'!...

very cool...

Sideways is just another angle, you can handle it, trust me

just another angle....

you stopped me in my tracks...I have to trust you...

I'm ok with that every which way die-agonal...

how is your back Lia?

your spine...that perfectly upright thing you got behind you?

...had serious back problems before...but mainly from physical trauma.

is yours like brain pain dipersed?...just so damn tense all the time

The constant low-grade burning has subsided immensely looks like I wont need that skeletal transplant afterall, especially if Dr can find a way to make my spine stop feeling like its so taut it may crack!

Now... If we could only find a way to make the pain dissapear forever... I'll be the happiest woman alive! Yeah, no, it doesn't look that's gonna happen, hey guys? idk how you gals do this, constant, consistant pain, with cyclical flair ups from hell ya, I dont get it, you guys are amazing...

I don't know... I am still trying to figure it out too. I can't change it.. I mean I can try to make it better, but I guess I still have to work on acceptance of it.

How did he come to the conclusion of fybro? Whatever it is I am really sorry you have to live with it. I always try to figure out why is this suffering coming to me, to which maybe there is no real answer. But OMG I am not going to suffer this much and not get something out of it. So even if I have to dig for something that I can take away from it, I guess it makes it easier for me to go through it.

Mindfulness of the pain.. ya still working on that one too.

I don't have a lot of answers for this one either. I am sorry you are facing this sis... Well we will get through it together at least.

He just asked me to describe it, when it started, when it flares, if I have any other medical symptoms. Then he kinda bent me into a pretzel,this way and that to exclude muscular pain... He said we share alot of symptoms and that he went abroad after his dx to study fibro coz not much is known here. Mindfulness, I have to start working on that more intently, and you're right, we can get thru this together
