Hi All,
Happy New Year! My wish for the new year is that we could get this board up and going. I think we can all use the support. I belong to another fibro board which is great, but it is very fast moving and this one seems to be much smaller and I think it would be a great support to all of us if we could get it going.
I have not posted for a while. Going through a horrible time and just feel really awful. Called my Rd and can see her next week. I am in so much pain and I am so tired and have the insomnia thing going and yes I know it increases my pain....but please, I have tried everything and nothing helps and I am at my wits end. Some days I honestly feel like I can't go on and don't want to.
I am 45 years old and what kind of life do I have? So much pain and fatigue. I just want to scream. No one in my family understands and I am really tired of telling them that I am tired and in pain. IT IS A GIVEN!!!! Please stop asking me.
Please, Please, join this board so we can help each other...

I know how U feel. It is a given with us. I hurt and I am tired. I tell my husband I don't even feel like wipeing my butt.(lol) He had the nerve to ask me to us my Ben Gay to rub his back tonight. He hates the smell so bad, he can't rub mine with it. What was he thinking. Does it ever just get all over you when they have the nerve to ask you to move? What are they thinking? Do they not know how we feel? I guess not.
I am being sarcastic but, I hope you feel better because I do realize (beleive it or not), everyday I have with my family is a blessing in pain or not.

Hi Jackie,
Thanks for the reply. At least there are a few of us on the boards here. You are right about the family, sometimes I just get discouraged. it seems in my family I am the one who has to deal with everyone issues and sometimes it is just overwhelming.
My hubby tries, but really most time I feel like he doesn't believe how I feel and some days I wish the fibro on him...not nice I know, but just so he would know. I think most men would have a very difficult time handling it...just my opinion.
As far as the insomina...isn't it awful? I tried the Ambien and it worked one night!!!! I wished I had only bought a few, instead I spent over 0. to get 30 pills, next time I will as for only a small number and try them first. (we do not have any health insurance) I know that not sleeping only increases my pain, but have tried most everything there is and it does not work. I see my RD tomorrow, so maybe she will have some new ideas.....hope so.
Again thanks for the reply...hope you get some sleep...post soon.

Mindy let me know what the RD tells you. I get like this on and off since 1999. Sometime I get over it quick then there R times it seems to linger. I wrote my husband a note last week and in it I said this too will pass.... I know it will I just don't know when and gets overbearing at time.... but it will pass for you 2.

Hi All,
Just back for the Doctor. I am going to try Rozerem for sleep. My doctor said it its a new drug for insomnia and seems to work on most people, so will give it a try. At this point I probably would try anything. But am hopeful it will work. Also put on large dose of ibuprofen to see if that will help reduce some inflammation and pain I have in my joints.
Will let you know how tonite goes. Take care...post soon.
