    • About Me

      Hi I am 4 months new to this and looking to meet others who suffer from fibromyalgia.I also have panic disorder with agoraphobia so I don't have much of a life as it is.But I would like to have a life again with little to no pain so that I will feel like going out and doing things.Normally I enjoy doing yard work, home improvements, playing with my children, watching my son's baseball games, shopping, and being with my family and friends.I hope to make friends, share coping techniques(when I learn some), and show compassion for others with fibromyalgia and any other painful conditions.

      From Emerald5usa Sunday

      Hi Needing sounds like your x did you a favor taking the computer. The mini sounds like it is nice and easy access and more comfortable for you to work with. I never seen a mini laptop I don't think... have had my pc for many years now. My oldest son was up last night and said mom you still got that big old monitor I wish I would of known would of brought you one of my flat screens :) So thinking the next time he comes up will probably bring me one. I have a regular office chair that is pretty comfortable but I don't sit long just get up and walk around whenever need too. Watching the AMA awards right now... I am happy they are starting to get down to business hopefully figuring out some of the issues that are causing you problems. Hopefully soon you'll be able to get a treatment plan that will help you with all this. Keep me posted on things ok. Take care of yourself my friend gentle hugs and wishing you the best possible week ahead Emerald

      From MoonLittleMoon November 15

      hello there :) nice to hear from you. how does nerve damage show up ? where on your body did you have a scan ? was it the dye injection ? ohhh i thought they were checking for pelvic congestion... i would do it !
      yeah im feeling low, scared... need this to work. they cant block off too much at once, i may need it done in two seperate go's. they keep you in over night.. but im having mine in the morning so maybe not. the first 24 hours have to have pain manageent/control.. they say the pain can be worse to what one normally feels at first etc. for some it works right away.. and for some weeks or months! and i guess it depends on if they do it all at once.
