Peach State Introduction
Tammy Elaine Fri Mar 14, 2008 10:18 am
I received "Peach State's Introduction via email, so I am posting it here for everone! Please join me in welcoming our newest member to the forum. We are very glad that she is here! -Tammy Elaine
Hello, I'm not sure that this is where I should be to introduce myself,
but if it is then fine; hello, I have had fibro, CFS, IBS, anxiety
disorder, depression, and PTSD for several years. For the most part,
around 7 or so years being diagnosed. I was first diagnosed with fibor
over 7 years ago; as well as, CFS. Since that time, I was seen by a
physciatrist who had me tested and therefore, the remaining disorders. I
know that I do suffer greatly from fibro and CFS. I have been
prescribed all kinds of meds from all kinds of Dr.'s. This disease is not to be
taken aback, or to think that you will be cured. You won't. You may
find something or some kind of holistic meds to make you feel better,
but it will only work for awhile. I do think that modern medicine is
good for a infantasimile amount of time, but then your body will say it's
not working. The brain is a wonderful thing. We want so bad to
believer that the Dr.'s or voodoo dr. that we visit will heal us. It he
lps for maybe a few days, then our symptoms are back. We have all
been diagnosed with a real true disorder of one kind or another. I've
been diagnosed with alot of things. They, the medical field have been
prescribing me lots of meds. It's not working girls or guys whoever is
listening. The only thing that I do agree with them is that we for the
most part have a blood disorder or an immune system disorder. My Dr.
tells me that I have thick blood, it's sticky and doesn't want to
circulate into my veins like normal people does. What exactly that means, I
just don't know. However, they have yet to put me on some kind of
blood thinner or whatever. They tell me it has something to do with the
cells in my body. The midocrondial cells are not getting enough oxygen,
or all my cells are not getting the oxygen that they need for a normal
person to funtion. Well, that's me. I guess my body is just not what
it's suppose to be.
I'm going to sign off of here to see if there are others out there who
suffer like Tammie Elaine and I do. We are the real deal. No jokes,
no hassles, we're not looking for a @#QM thing other than to help others
just like us. This is the real thing.
I need feedback. It's not for the easy at heart. This is for real.
Tell me what you really feel. I can take it and I won't judge you.
Please dont' go crazy on me. That I can't take. I do have the same
problems you have and I don't need to go see the pretty boats sailing by my
Dr. enforced physicatric ward for several weeks! Believe me, we have
the crazy house at St. Simons Island, GA. it's called Focus by the
Sea. I've heard that they sit and look at the pretty boats going by.
(Just joking, please, it's a wonderful place from what I understand),
I'm not downing there, If I get to the point to where I feel it's
necessary to put myself somewhere for awhile to get better, that's the first
place that I will go. I'm serious.

Hello
This is my first time to a Forum or even posting a reply. I've be diagnosed with fibro, depression, and chronic pain. This all started after a car accident that I was in Aug 05. I haven't worked since July. I have been turned down by SSI. I am just starting my appeal. Luckily, I have a working husband and I live next door to my parents. I'm supposed be taking care of them and it has turned around again and they are helping take care me.
I'm having a flare right now. What does everyone else do when they have a flare?
I'm in living in Wisconsin-about 30 miles south of Green Bay.
Thanks,
Judy

Good to see you here!

Hi Judy! Am glad you are here! I hope that you will make yourself at home.
You know, everyone whom I know who has FM has "flares". They are perhaps one of the most difficult parts of this disease to manage. They can be triggered by emotional issues, stress, over exertion, cold, heat, lack of nutrients, or even PMS. They just suck. Hopefully our members here will offer some ideas by telling you how they themselves deal with their "flares" but I think most will tell you that they sit alone and cry. LOL! It sounds dismal but there are ways to help feel better during a flare. Since FM effects everyone differently, you will need to try different things to help make you feel better. Here are some of the things I do...
1. Since I am really sensitive to cold and temp. change...I try to get really warm which helps my muscles relax
2. I enjoy hot detox baths, there is one here in the forum, I think under "treatment Protocols".
3. I just shut my self off from all stress and agree to "deal with it later".
4. Ensure that I haven't missed a vitamin here or there. (When you take 23 a day it is real easy to say, "I just don't feel like eating them all today.")
5. Eat a soft diet so as not to inflame the IBS
6. Communicate with one of my FM friends and whine on their shoulder. LOL. (Believe me it really helps!)
I hope that this helps. I hate flares. It sounds as if you have a good support system though, being close to yur parents. Why did they deny your disability? Mine is in DDS right now. (Bites nails) I would love it if you could tell some of your Disability journey in that particular forum. There are so many of us who need it and can't get it. If this site grows large enough, I hope to become very proactive towards SSDI Reform.
Well, I hope you feel better.
Glad to have you aboard.
Take care,
