      From lolabell September 28

      I don't have a farm, I should though! Don't worry about your bird, they are anxious and timid and it will take longer for him to adjust to you. He will come around. For now I would just tlka to him a lot, give him affection by not touching him yet so he bonds an trusts you. It just takes them longer.

      Hi There! My name is Amey. I do work full time at an elementary school. I struggle with the fatigue, I really do. But, I have to work, and I also have good health insurance with my job. I do take medication for the fatigue though, without it, I wouldn't be able to work. I need it even on the weekends to function. I am so glad your bird is getting used to you!

      From lolabell September 23

      your bird will get comfy in your home and used to the loud noises. They are frightened when you bring them home...we just brought home a kitten that needed a home and he is starting to relax. If you can, cover the bird at night with a dark blanket/towel/sheet. They like it, and it keeps them from getting chilled. Can't wait to hear about your new baby!

    • Close Chronic Pain

      I suffer with dibilitating head and face pain in the insde of my face in head. It feels like the lining inside is being stretched and pulled so tight. I have a burning and numbness that I live with on a continual basis. Most recently it has been dx`d as neuropathy. I also have chronic fatigue..

      Treatments

      Darvon Not Working
      Naproxen Working / Worked
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      Topamax Working / Worked
      So far the topomax as taken a bit of the edge of if the pain isn`t to bad. This has enabled me to have somewhat of a life and to get a few things done each day.
    • Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      I`ve been ill with cfs for about 15 years now. I believe I developed this from the toxins from having had breast implants and also living in a home that had mold. I no longer live with breast implants nor in a house with mold. I am on a diet that helps me detox my body from the effects of the toxins and mold and much of the brain fog has cleared but the fatigue is just as bad as always.

      Treatments

      DHEA Somewhat Helpful
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      works as needed for sleep.
      Acupuncture Not Working
      For head and face pain.
    • Open Grandparents Raising Children

      Hi! I`am new here and I`ve had my 4 year old grandaughter since December. Its a temporary situation, so it seems until June. Its been difficult to say the least. Her mom is a drug addict as well as her father. I need support dealing with my daughter who drives me bannanas with her irresonsible behaviors. Right now I`am trying very hard taking it one day at a time with this beatiful little girl. Its very hard because I`am ill with cfs but I wouldnt have it any other way. Rosanne
