About Me
I am single/divorced woman, with a grown daughter and 5 y.o. grandson. Spending time with them, and my son in law, is really my only joy/passion at this time - besides the work I do with my clients, as a youth counselor. I used to enjoy writing and traveling, but due to my sleep apnea, hypothroidism, fibromyalgia - and newly diagnosed degenerative disc disease, I don't do either of them anymore. Except I do travel to visit my aging mother 2 times a year, and try to write in my journal at lease 1 x a week.

Hey, it is no problem. I totally felt like your soul sister when I was reading your post. :) Knowing all of us on here fight the same battles really does help.
:) Keep on trucking...until you can't anymore.
Well Done
Sometimes it all piles on so much that the only thing to do is whine, then laugh! Thanks for your whine. I'm sorry you're feeling so crappy but you made me smile because you call a turd a turd. Feel better, and keep venting. Love to you.

Close Sleep Apnea
Sleep problems for many years. Sleep study 2 years ago - dx w/Sleep Apnea. Tried a CPAP for a few months, but just couldn't get use to the noise and uncomfortableness, so returned it. After a year of increasing mental and physical fatigue, loss of concentration and alertness, and awful headaches, I have decided to try the CPAP again. I picked it up just last night. I am determined to make it work this time, because I just can't go on feeling like I do.
Treatments
Close Hypothyroidism
Use a CPAP mask for sleep apnea - it helps - less migraines. Then a few weeks ago the fatigue, foggy headedness and memory lapses returned - aagh!. Last March my GP had said my TSH was high but wanted to wait 6 months to retest prior to prescribing meds. Well, after feeling so crummy, I got on the intenet and found that many of my symptoms could be from hypothyroidism. Went to a neurologist - he said I did have hypoT, and prescribed Synthroid - started taking it two days ago.
Open Fibromyalgia
After being dianosed w/Sleep Apnea (and getting on the CPAP), then hypothyroidism (taking Synthroid), and still feeling tired, foggy headed, achey, just not well, I was just diagnosed w/ fibromyalgia. So, here I am seeking info and support.
Open Degenerative Disc Disease
Was having horrible muscle spasm in my trapezius, had xrays, diagnosed with DDD. This is added to diagnosis' of sleep apnea, fibro, and hypothyroidism. I'm only 57 and I feel like I'm falling apart. So, here I am seeking .. help and support.
