    • About Me

      I am a 36 year old single mother of 2 children. I write poetry and love reading. I have severe Fibromyalgia and am having a tremendous stuggle dealing with it. I feel very alone in what I am dealing with, especially since this is an invisible disease, and no one can see the severity of what I feel. I am just trying to find relief and support.

      There comes a time in everyone's life 

      Where time stands still and whispers breathe

      Once more.

      There is a voided space within us

      Where …

      I was introduced to this man a few weeks ago. I was really nervous to meet him because I have not been on a date in years. I was so embarrassed or …

      I don't even know where to begin this. I keep so much bottled up inside. My poetry my only freedom and escape. So, bearing my soul in this way is …

    • Poetry's Dwelling

      Mood August 14, 2008 1:08am

      The emptiness stares back at me

      Blank Pages...

      Lost...

      Starving...

      Begging me to fill its void-

      Its loneliness.

      Crying for fulfillment

      And comfort.

      And I …

      Mood August 13, 2008 10:24pm

      It is in the placity of dreams

      A vision released

      From an imprisoned thought.

      Freedom from restraint

      And cast now into a World

      embracing.

      Hold now to your …

    • Flower

      From Jennijem January 28

      Without a friend to call my own what would my poor heart do? Without a friend to cheer me up I'd remain so sad and blue. Without a friend to make me smile a frown would rule my face. Without a friend I'd be so lonely here in this human race. Without a friend I could not live because life I could not share. So friend I'm thankful that I have you and I'm glad you're always there. Love and Hugs, Jenni

    • Prayer

      From dalelisa November 24, 2008

      THE POWER OF PRAYER. I believe that God only gives three answers to prayer: 1. 'Yes!' 2. 'Not yet.' 3. 'I have something better in mind..' God still sits on the throne. You maybe going through a tough time right now but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that you cannot imagine. My instructions were to pick four people that I wanted God to bless, and I picked you. Please pass this to at least four people you want to be blessed. This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards. Let's continue to pray for one another. Here is the prayer:.... Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and email buddies reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of Your love and power. Amen I know I picked more than four, so can you. What do you have to be thankful for???????

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I am looking for a support group that really understands all that accompanies the distress of living wiht Fibromyalgia. I would like to be of some support for someone else who is dealing with the same issues. I need a sounding board, and hope that I can do the same for someone else.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Seasonal Affective Disorder

      I have severe Fibromyalgia, suffer from severe panic attaks, and I'm depressed. I wasn't always this way-just after I got diagnosed with Fibro or should I say after it overtook my whole life. I suffer with memory problems, so I am even more panicky about that. I'm beginning to fear conversations due to the memory loss. I used to be a lot of fun to be around, now I'm depressed and in too much pain to breathe sometimes.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
      It works some, but my doc just uped my dosage today,so we'll see.
      Elavil Working / Worked
      The only thing that gets me through the night, without it my level of pain is so severe I would never sleep. I haven't had any side effects.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      There are a few people in my church who understand me so well, it's almost like they are inside my body. But my Mother, who-don't get my wrong is a blessing to me-but she just doesn't get it.She makes me feel guilty for being so sick, like I chose this as my life, and nothing could be further from the truth.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I write what I call theraputic poetry. I think I'm too complex to be understood.I feel differnt than most people, too deep. I hurt too deep. I love too deep. I give too much of myself until there is nothing left. So, my poetry defines me,lets me be someone who gives love, hate, air, time, spirits and souls a chance to breathe; at least my own anyway.
    • Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      I joined Daily Strength because I have severe Fibromyalgia.It is so wonderful here that I have joined other groups as well. But I have smoked for over 20 years and have never tried or wanted to quit. Well, now I do. I am a single mother so money is tight and I am just wasting it. My children want me to quit and that is really hard to take in when their beautiful faces get so close to mine and say "Mommy, I don't want you to die." I know I need Divine intervention and a lot of support!
