About Me
I was working in the medical field, but no longer able to do so due to the physical demands on my body that it simply will not tolerate anymore. I love camping and the great outdoors. I love to read, go boating, and the like. I do love horseback riding although that is not possible anymore. I will love that until my dying day, and the memories of riding are rather, uh. Interesting, lol.

Hug
Hi Hon. All our appointments are free. All tests are free. All surgeries are free. Drugs we pay for ourselves unless our employers offers a benefit plan which covers the cost of the drugs. People on social assistance get free drugs too. I am unemployed which leaves me stranded. I'm looking for a room mate... Wanna move in? Then I can afford my drugs., lol.

A wonderful surprise - to hear from you. I hear you about the up and down thing. My up days are about to be over as I have to go off my meds that were working for me because I can't afford them anymore. I swear... they were working so well, there were days I forgot I had fibro! It's slowly creeping back and will be back full force in a few more weeks when I run out of my Xyrem.
Little Love
Your so welcome necie... wishing you a happy week pain free as possible take care always gentle hugs

Support Groups
Close Fibromyalgia
I was working in the medical field, as an EMT but unable to meet those demands physically. I once worked a 15 hour shift, and felt like I had been hit by an Amtrak train. This all started with a near fatal car accident back in the 80's and my body has not been right since, and gets worse through time.
Treatments
- Swimming Working / Worked
- I swim twice a week usually. I also use the hot tub at the facility that I attend and my body does respond to that.
- Celebrex Working / Worked
- This med works better than Ibuprofin when I have to have something stronger.
- Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
- Honey chile. This med is quite mean to me. Makes me exhausted but wont allow me to actually sleep. Grrrrrr.
- Orthopedic Brace Working / Worked
- Does not make me sleepy but will if I am sleepy already. It does seem to alleviate discomfort though.
Close Physical & Emotional Abuse
Grew up in an unsafe household. Did go to therapy many yrs later to eliminate the rage that eventually came over me. Went through a few therapists unti I found one that was off the hook.
Treatments
- Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
- Both parents were verbally and physically abusive, mostly to me only. They never wanted a girl but yet kept making babies. I paid the price for being a girl.
Open Family Issues
Well I have a page already in ref to being verbally and physically abused
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- All of this info is on my page. Both parents have a dual personality which is typical of abusive people. I have extricated myself from them to save myself.
Open Chronic Pain
I have chronic pain due to fibromyalgia. I also have had numerous injuries in the past in which fibro goes into every spot previously injured, and has a field day.
Treatments
- Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
- I will take this sometimes but it makes me terribly sleepy but wont let me sleep.
- Orthopedic Brace Working / Worked
- This works although I would like if it made me sleepy. Works best if I am sleepy already.
Open War & Terrorism
I grew up with violence, that was permitted to permeate the home that was supposed to be my safe haven.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- We talk about what happens when people become violent adults, but we need to focus on them BEFORE they become dysfunctional adults.
Open Breakups & Divorce
I have a history of selecting people who are empty and emotionless. I do hope that happiness lies ahead though..
Treatments
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Without my friends and the abusive situations I have been in, no telling where I would be today
- Support Groups Working / Worked
- Went to a church support group after dealing with Dr Jekyl/Mr Hyde
Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a RelativeEveryone has lost someone special at one time or another.
Open Sexual Abuse
I grew up in a very abusive, violent household. Went from that to abusive relationships. Got manipulated, tricked, lied to, just for them to get sex. Also got verbally and physically abused in relationships as well.
Treatments
- Leave Working / Worked
- The sexual abuse or freakiness started when I was a teen and a man was getting turned on watching me use the restroom. He was an adult and I was a young teen. No one in my fam knows about this or the other events that soon followed.
- Talking Working / Worked
- I did seek therapy but it takes a while to find one that is not warped also. Finally found an excellent one but many events have occurred since then.
Open Loneliness
you are never more lonely in your life than when you have a chronic illness
