Thanks so much for sharing your day with ...Hi Amy -<br />Thanks so much for sharing your day with fibromyalgia. Just to give everyone a little insight about me, I've had fibro for over 30 years and even back then the doctors told me there was no cure...how depressing is that?? But, back then I lived in Virginia and I found that I almost NEVER had any symptoms. I was almost in total remission. I was so blessed to not have suffered like so many others have. But last year I moved here to Colorado and within 3 days the pain started. There was more pain in my body that I've ever experienced in my life. As the winter continued so did the pain...getting worse and worse until I was forced to go to a doctor. He started me on Darvocet and after 7 months I've managed to control the pain most of the time. I know that my fibro is so much less than other...perhaps it's because I've had it for so many years. But, I do suffer from many of the same things as most others. I never know when my stomach will suddenly turn and I will be nauseous for hours on end. Sometimes I have to leave a restaurant for fear I will lose the meal I've just eaten. But thank God I don't suffer from the insomnia that so many others do. I do wake up in the middle of the night but manage to go back to sleep. <br />Having shared all of this, I would like to offer a shoulder to anyone who suffers with this horrible disease. If you'd like to just talk about how bad your day has been or share how good it's been, I'm here. All of us with this disease are a family - sharing one common thing...pain. If I can make someone's day brighter by just listening, I'd welcome it. Stay strong and remember that tomorrow may be a better day. You can find me on Face!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248768743986641292noreply@blogger.com
