As 'tjhelser' has said & I'm sure many members will say...'Right Back to You Karen' & to the members of this board. You have been my 'Rock', & too many other members.
My 'Family & friends' have lived with me always in pain, they 'try' to understand, but still don't undersand what I live with day & night. My 'Family' on this board do understand, I can come here ask questions, vent, or help someone else.
When I'm feeling down, or someone has said something that hurt my feelings, cause they don't understand, my Pain. I know the friends I'v made on this board, are always here, to make me fell better.
We know how hard you work for us, even if we don't tell enough. You have a heart of Gold. I don't know where many of us would be without, your hard work.
Your our 'Angel' Karen, we all love you, have a peaceful New Year.
Hello, Karen,
I just wanted to drop in for a minute and thank you for everything you do for this community. Without this site and your posts, I would have very, very little understanding of Fibromyalgia. My NP is more willing to share information on Fibromyalgia than my rheumatologist or orthopedic sugreon. Go figure! I don't know why they are all so closed-mouth about it. Maybe they think we don't need to know, but knowing what is going on makes me feel better. I don't think I am alone in that, either. Anyway, I digress. 
I am praying for a New Year filled with less pain, light, love, patience and understanding for us all.
May God Bless you, Karen.
Peace,
V
We're grateful for having you keep us updated with your diligent research.
Wishing for you a better year filled with better " good " days as well.
That was the first goal that my husband and I set when I was lst diagnosed that I would reach the point where I would have more " good " days than bad ones.
Still struggle after 19 years, but I too am thankful for a place where people understand. I'm just sad that others have to walk in the shoes of chronic pain on a daily basis. I pray for more understanding of how chronic pain affects our daily lives with our physicians.
Thank you again for the time and effort that you devote to helping others.
