Today I am preparing for a colonoscopy tomorrow. It has set my panic off big time. I am all alone here.

Jan, I'll be a pocket rider with you tomorrow if you want.

[Kiya]

Me too, Jan!

Me three. It's a few days old so I think the best way to find it is through my profile if that makes sense

Good luck.

The tropical depression that was south of us over the weekend has moved into the Gulf and intensified to a tropical storm. The changes in barometric pressure that go with these things just knock me for a loop. I may set the A/C cold so I can curl up under my heated throw.

Stay safe Liz

Jan I hope your appointment went ok

[January]

Thank you, Pocket Riders. I had a reaction to the stuff they made me drink and I've been sick for three days. This is the first day I've felt like sitting at the computer long enough to be here.

I go to the Rhuemy on the 6th and she's going to re-eval my knees and why I'm in such pain there.

Please, please stay safe from the storm! A heated blanket sounds wonderful!

[lizardlady]

Storm passed. Everything is fine here at the farm. Best of all my most recent flare ended!

[Kiya]

Yay liz!!! Hugs Jan!!! Hi all!!!

The fibro is doing pretty well. I have an upper respiratory viral infection. My nose is so red from wiping it that I could pass for Rudolph!

[lizardlady]

It was a rough day at work. Then a friend called while I was cooking dinner and dinner burned. Am in an evil mood tonight. This pic says it all...

[January]

This is going to be a rant. I am so upset I couldn't sleep. My friend who does not have fibro or Chronic Fatigue, or a host of other things that I have, called me out for not keeping my house as clean as she thinks it should be, not eating right, not keeping as many appointments in a week as she things I should, or exercising.

My friend has a host of medical problems, but she is younger than me and powers through hers. I can't do it anymore. I'm overwhelmed and it's all I can do to keep my nose above water and not drown.

It's hard to eat right when you have no dentures. No, I still don't have them yet and when I went in for a fitting today, the man who makes them had broken the uppers. I don't know when they'll be ready now. In the meantime I'm stuck with soft foods which make you gain weight. I can't afford baby food and I'm not that hungry anymore.

She doesn't understand why I can only stand to do half the dishes at a time because of my intense back pain but can sit at the computer for a long time. Well, sitting at the computer doesn't hurt, darn it! If I can get my Dr. to sign off on it, I'll get a dish washer for my apartment from my landlord, but it's a long process and it's going to be months before that happens. My friend thinks dishwashers are extraneous.

In all honesty, my friend means well and I think the world of her, which made me keep my mouth shut, but I don't need criticized or dissected. I need understanding. I need help. I've had one thing after another hit me and my body is tired and hurting. I can barely stand up and sit down because of knee pain. I'm afraid I'm going to be using a cane soon. I don't want that.

Do you understand washing half the dishes at a time? Do you understand not running the sweeper because it's too heavy and it hurts you? Do you understand being so tired you can't keep four appointments in one week? You, my PC friends, are the only ones I know who can possibly understand and right now I'm feeling very alone.

Rant away hon. We understand. Yesterday must have been the day for friends to fuss at us. I had something similar happen. I was already in a pissy mood and almost told her off.

Jan, do what you are able, when you are able. To, er "heck" with those who don't understand.

[January]

((((( Liz )))))

Thank you, Liz. Thank you so much. It really helps.

[cakeladie]

(((((Jan))))) (((((Liz))))) I know what you both are going through. I am in the same position. I used to ignore how I was feeling because I had to work. At the time I made more then hubby and our health insurance was from my work. When I would sit there crying in the morning my hubby would say suck it up which mad me mad and I would get up and go into work. I would work 10-12 hours come home and do family stuff. But I finely crashed and crashed hard

Now I feel bad most of the time it's just the 2 of us but most days I can only do a few things. My house is not has clean has it used to be and I used to grocery shop every week now I try and go to the store but a lot of time hubby has to do it for me.

Has for excerising I used to walk but I can't now. I use a walker or a power chair and I have been on pred for 20 years it's not fair

So I feel for both of you. Most days hubby is pretty understanding.

Take care guys and just know you are not alone

[January]

((((( Cake )))))

Thank you so much for your support. I'm so sorry you are suffering so much and I wish I could wave a magic wand and make it all go away for you.

[lizardlady]

Came here to rant and just don't have the energy for it. How pitiful is that?

[January]

((((( Liz )))))

I understand. I do.

[cakeladie]

Liz I hear you. I made it to the grocery store only to have to call my hubby because I was to dizzy to drive home. Which brings me to my next question. Does anyone have trouble drinking? I have no desire to drink anything and I think that's what is causing these dizzy spells

[lizardlady]

Between stress at work and current flare I am at wits end. Ya know how fibro is called "irritable everything syndrome"? That's me lately. I would happily rip someone's head of and shout down the hole. Am not posting much lately because I find myself thinking way too many of the folks at PC (not you ladies) are whiny crybabies.

[cakeladie]

I hear you Liz I keep to just a few areas. I check on you guys and a few others

[lizardlady]

How is McGee? I'm worried about him.

[cakeladie]

Me to he keeps catching spiders and eating them. But all this throwing up is not good. I am giving him IV fluids and he is eating some.

Hubby and I are going away this weekend for our anniversary not sure I really want to go

[Kiya]

Hugs!!!!

I tried cannibis oil last night for pain and digestion. But I consumed too much and ended up in ER. It's rather mortifying and they didn't even specify that it was medical cannibis oil. "Marijuana intoxication". Humiliating. I was also treated like an addict by both EMT crews and the hospital. Plus EMT put heavy access on my DID dx. One said "you DO know what housing this is". (Behavior health housing). I glared up at him from the floor. Another answered HUD housing. Emphasis on HUD. Good on him to set that guy right and not humiliate me further. "We may have a possible mental health condition going on here" one guy radioed in, but were unsure yet of the cause."
Assume I'm addict. Assume I'm having a psychotic break. Thanks guys.
