About Me
I am Self-employed and have been so for 20 years. I have one daughter and 2 beautiful grandkids, ages 6 and 3 months. I am divorced. I really do believe it is essential to try and create a positive life although I do find this to be very challenging at times with my health condition the way it is. In fact, it gets harder each year.

Hi Terri, Hope you have a great Easter. I have been in misserable shape the last couple of days. Took my 17 year old out for awhile was gone 2 hours and I hurt soooo bad. Ate dinner, took a soma and went to bed i was %:30. I get angry to. I do ecerything they say, been to numerous doctors and everyone tells me I have something else. I want to go and do things but the pain is to bad. I pace myself, eat right, lost weight, stretch and still nothing. I am considering asking for one of those little scooters but vanity stops me. I tell people not to visit because I feel so bad. I laugh and enjoy things but I can't go anywhere. I force myself to and then end up worse. anti depressents have terrible effects on me so that is about the ony thing I can't take. Doesnt help anyhow. I am not depressed I am angry that no one can get to the root cause.

You sound like such a nice lady, I hope the "blues" will go away for you. I love to garden too, but I do most of mine in pots now. Maybe you should visit a special "garden nusery" in your area, that always cheers me up a little, even if I can't buy anything, it's always nice to look:)

I’m With You
I did suffer from severe depression after my daughter died 14 years ago, she(Tina) was 15. she passed 2 weeks after diagnosis of synovial sarcoma. But I HAVE 2 BOYS WHO WERE VERY YOUNG AT THE TIME. They are my earth angels. I gained over 100 pounds, fibro set in and of course veryone told me it was in my head because of the death of Tina. But she is watching over me and all of us. You have been dealt a hand called fibro. Now how are you going to play it out??? You have 2 ways Neg or Positive. I chose positive. I fake my way thru the day trying to reach for better cards. But some days I just have to fold. Stop looking backward and look foward. Get away from neg people. Start a project or small craft. When I feel myself getting depressed i make myself busy or go out to talk to people. I can no longer work and I am a people person. so that is very hard. I go to the plant stores and ask questions. Anywhere where people talk. Try it. let me know doreen

Support Groups
Close Fibromyalgia
I have had extreme symptoms of FMS for about 10 years, but realize it has affected me all of my life. The condition has really changed my life, I think the loneliness from being in too much pain to socialize is the worse.
Treatments
Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery
I have been a smoker forever, I have my Chantix RX and am trying to gear myself up to start taking it.
Treatments
- Chantix Considering
- Cold Turkey Working / Worked
- Worked for me once, quit for 6 years.
- Commit Lozenge Not Working
- Hypnotherapy Not Working
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- Think it would have worked if the side effects hadn't bothered me.
Open Loneliness
The loneliness I experience has it's base from the fact that I have FMS/CFS and am not able to develop friends, go places and lead a normal life and from current family and some friends not understanding my limitations and expecting me to travel to see them or do things they consider fun and I consider exhausting.
