Hi. I've never posted in this forum (as far as I can remember. ).

I was diagnosed with fibro at least 17 years ago. I have a few different health issues whose symptoms overlap with fibro, so I'm not even sure when a problem is from the fibromyalgia.

Take care.

TTFN

Hi all,
I've been at the psych ward at the hospital for the last week. First night back home now. Pain is pretty bad and depression is still knocking me around a bit, hoping after a sleep in my own bed I'll feel a bit better.

Sorry to see so many of you are having a rough time.

Cake, great minds in the same place. I was going to post a "roll call" message!

I'm finally starting to get some rest. Did as little as possible over the weekend. You all know it takes time to recover from that level of exhaustion, but I'm getting there. Pain is a whole different story. I hurt like crazy.

On a positive note, the horse's eye is healed! No more middle of the night trips to the barn!!!!!

I am here. I have been having a hard time. I went to the specialist yesterday and both my Ulcerative Colitis and Irritable Bowel are in flare. I've been feeling pretty rough. The fibro has been flared and a dear friend gave me a used laptop to use yesterday so I can sit in the recliner instead of this hard office chair. I'm using the desk top to write this because I stink at writing on the laptop! I go tomorrow to have two or three more teeth pulled. They are taking it slowly, so it will be weeks before we get it done. I instinctively know that it's making the fibro and everything else worse.

It all could be so much worse though! I have you my friends and each of you help. You know I love you all.

Jan, you are probably right about the dental work causing a flare. I had extensive dental work done a few years ago. Every time they did something I'd have a flare.

I posted that I'm getting more sleep - yeah!

Am still flaring though. Last couple of nights I've laid in bed and whimpered I hurt so dang much. I came from work early today. I couldn't stand it anymore.

I'm sick of feeling this way.
I'm sick of whingeing about feeling this way.

Things are ...interesting. I have little data to spare with this other online program I am doing. I'm sorry I can't be with you all as often I think of you all daily. I am worried about many of you right now. Please be ok!!! Sending prayers and healing thoughts however those look like to you all.
Am in great pain with PT but at least I am back in. Exercises hurt like a *%*$! MMmmmmmph. Dissociation is up a lot. Neighbors are up in arms and one got arrested. Some concern for my safety.... and safety of apartment and car.
Yeah, there's a lot going on.
Anywho, thinking of you ALL and sending hugs!!!!!! Sorry I won't be able to be in as much Miss you all!

I go to the dentist this afternoon. I barely slept last night. Bleck. Doing this every two weeks is going to get old fast, but it has to be done. I wish I had someone to go with me to drive.

I made it home from the dentist. This was the roughest one and it was only one tooth, but it was a molar. This too, shall pass.

Please, if your hand doesn't get better, get it checked. Is it purple at all? That's a sign on me that something is broken, but might not be true for everyone of course...

After whingeing so much lately I'm happy to report the pain is down to what I call "background static". Ya know that low level of pain that never goes away? I'm still tired, but not exhausted. Have gone to bed early almost every night this week. Thankfully tomorrow is Friday. Am going to take the weekend to rest some more.
