The Fibromyalgia check in thread.😀

I have times I just don't feel like eating. Not sure that it's related to fibro though.

I get that way I will go all day without eating or drinking. Don't ask me why. I don't know why. I take close to 30 pills aday but I don't think that has much to do with it. I do make myself eat something at night to get my meds down but nothing sounds good or tastes good to me. A lot of times my son or the dog finishes off my plate.

So you are not alone in this

I'm down to being able to tolerate only bread.... I have UC and IBS, so I guess it's related to that, but I don't know. I just stay nauseous all the time. <bleck>

I hope we all feel better soon.

Thank you, Christina! Yum!!!!

I want to say that your problems are just as important as anyone else's here and we want to hear about them.

I am happy to report I managed some mashed potatoes!

lizardlady · Mar 02, 2016, 07:39 PM

Christina, no fair saying your stuff is "nonsensical". Your stuff is just as important as anyone else's.

cakeladie · Mar 02, 2016, 08:53 PM

I agree with Liz Christina you are important to us and we care and miss you

I am having a rough time with my arm and it's my right arm. I have had shots in my elbow and under my shoulder bone and it has helped. But I am waking up really early and can't fall back to sleep then the pain keeps me up

Then I feel I am worthless. Like really who would miss me. It's really sad I am really sad

I had mashed potato for dinner last night too

Yesterday wasn't great. My disability benefit was denied. I have to start the process all over again. Funnily enough I don't magically feel better despite being told I'm not ill enough to qualify...

Unfortunately I'm in the UK so it's a little different. You apply, then if that fails you get a mandatory reconsideration where they look again at your application. Then if *that* fails you get to go to an appeal where it's heard by a judge and they make a decision. That's what mine was yesterday and they ruled that I didn't get enough points to qualify. I can reapply, but I'd start a new claim which means I lose all the backpay between when it stopped (last September) and now. Plus I have to go through the whole application process again and have another assessment.

It's kinda that way in the USA 95% or higher gets denied the first time around then you have to appeal i won on appeal but I also got an attorney when I was denied the first time. I think I was pretty lucky but at the time I was having seizures and getting chemo when I was denied I showed the letter to my doctor and and called them and yelled at them she had tried for years to get me to stop working that was in a January the appeal was sent and February and I was approved in March so I was lucky.
I know people who have been fighting for 3 years it's really sad

You are not worthless hon. I, for one, would miss you.

Good luck, hope it goes ok...

Today I have all the pain. Just woke up this morning feeling like I'd been run over. Which is annoying as I had things I needed to do today.

How did it go Jan?

January · Mar 09, 2016, 08:57 AM

The dentist was able to remove all three teeth. That makes all the top ones gone and I've only got six bottom ones left to remove. It was painful and I was exhausted and in a lot of pain when I got home. My brother drove me there and back and I'm so grateful. He let me sit by the door while he went and got the truck.

The dentist told me I'm very tough, but that's not it. I'm scared silly, but I'm determined. I've got to get this done. The way it's looking, I won't have my dentures until sometime in June. I have to wait two weeks between extractions and then six weeks before I can have my thing where they do the forms to make your dentures. (I can't remember what it's called.)

I have a lisp now.

Thank you so much for asking and thank you ever so much for caring. It means the world to me.
