Well this is my first try--- I guess first off I wish to say thank you for letting me join ! Even tho' this sounds strange , I want to say it's nice to know I'm not alone with all my illnesses! I have felt sooo alone for so long ----- guess I just feel relieve in knowing there are others that know how it feels to wake up and hurt from head to toe. I found out that I'nm now border-line ditbetic. Let alone that I have gained alot of wieght - 171 when on the 5th of this monththey told me I weighed 146 lbs. How does one gain that much weight in such a short time? We, meaning my Doctor and I , hope to be able to contol things with diet and such. I can't remeber if I posted everthing I'm dealing with as far as my illnesses or not.

I must go now guess my body needs to move a bit.

I will close with saying ....................

Love and prayers and hugs to all of you and I hope that you have a good day.

Wacko p.s. Can someone help me get back into your chat room?

Hi Eileen,

Pain is a difficult reality for all of us and there are times we all feel alone. This is a nice place to give and get feedback from others who actually listen. I want to ask you if something has changed since the beginning of the month concerning medication or diet because I know those can contribute to weight gain. Certain meds I have been on in the past made me gain a lot of weight in a short time and I found having salt and not enough water did it too. Hopefully your doctor will be able to figure it out. You mentioned a chat room. I didn't know there was one here but if there is I sure would like to get in on it. Take care and let me know how you are doing.

Cry Good morn to you ,

I am having a very bad time right now!

See I am now suppose to be one a no salt and surar diet, also suppose to move into a high rise, but neither is going good . I can't control my diet cause of where I am still living and I mested up my meds because I am out of them all!

My list of meds is very long along with the diagones of all the health problems! I'm under a lot of stress and now my dermitisis of my hands and feet is full blown, I went to the hospital yesterday and they gave me my low does of lortabs and I'm suppose to be getting new pain meds filled but I am too early .... will be talking to my CMO workers and most likely be in hospital to get back on track.

By the way to all who read this I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to get back to you.

hugs and love;

Eileen

I'm Kathy B. & this is my first time at this too. I'm crying because pain is definitely a very alone thing. No one wants to join you. No one understands what you're feeling. No one wants to listen to you talk about it. After awhile, I heard this on Mike and Jennifer Show Tuesay morning, a 13 year old boy with fibromyalgia said he just felt like climbing in a coffin and going to sleep. That's bad, but that's what fibromyalgia feels like. I tend to be very wordy so I will stop here. I'm glad to meet you & it is a good feeling to know there is someone else to talk to. Prayers to all.

It is nice to meet you Eileen. I ask myself that question everyday "Why am I the one". Mine goes a step further in why did I have to live through the car accident if this is how I am going to live my life at age 30 (at the time). I am now 35. If you haven't read "90 Minutes in Heaven" by Don Piper, you need to read it. I crushed my ankle when a lady ran a stop sign 4 1/2 years ago. I have had 8 surgeries and still not doing well. I wake up and go to bed with chronic pain. I live 24 hours with it. Sometimes you just get so frustrated that you just want to give up. I loved it when I found this website also. It is nice to talk to other people who know exactly what you are going through. Nice to chat with you.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
