    • Interests

      I've learned to appreciate the small things in life like a bird sing or a rainbow...those things i dont take for granted anymore. animals are my life without them my life would be so empty. I love cats but have just discovered the world of birds...cockateils etc. there awesome..and i soooo have learned to appreciate the good fibro days...dont know how long it will last or if i will get more of them. In fact at any time i can take a turn for the worse and end up on the transplant list...one never knows so i have to enjoy what time and what kind of life i have left.

  • Support Groups

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      lorial hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Close Hepatitis C

      hi i have hepc and i also have a autoimmune liver disease called pbc..primary bilary cirrohis. becuz of that i can't do the treatment..it would kill me. I also have fibromyalgia and raynauds and oh arthrtis.

    • Open Chronic Pain

      Hi I have fibro, hep c, a rare autoimmune liver disease called pbc, arthritis, scolisosi, raynauds and possibly lupus..i am in pain 24/7 but finally have come to realize that i have to accept being like this...depression doesnt help matters more it just makes me hurt more than usual so i try to stay upbeat...not a easy task...lol

      Treatments

      Methadone Working / Worked
      well it makes me a little bit tired but so far its the best drug yet i have tried for pain.
      Oxycodone Working / Worked
      It helps but i have built up a huge resistance to it and i refuse to up the dosage.
    • Open Lupus

      well i have other illnesses regarding the liver so plaquenil would be risky for me to take..I'm still thinking about whether or not i should risk it.I have alot of lupus symptoms and i know it would make me feel so much better but i just dont want to have weekly bloodwork done rite now...i'm, sure i will change my mind if my symptoms get worse.

    • Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      well i am addicted to cigerettes along with havin hep,pbc,fibro,raynauds, lupus, arthrits and so on and so on. i should not be smoking as i have high blood pressure also.

      Treatments

      Chantix Somewhat Helpful
      chantix really works. when u look at acigerette and lite up its lilke yuck but it tore my stomach up..couldnt continue to take it..needless to say i am still smoking.
      Cold Turkey Not Working
      Commit Lozenge Considering
      Hypnotherapy Considering
      Laughter Not Working
      Nicotine Gum Working / Worked
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      i couldnt take the wellbutrin...it made me hyper and i felt really crazy.
    • Open Interstitial Cystitis (IC)

      I'm still not sure i have IC but a few yrs ago before i got diagnosed with fibro i had horrible pelvic pain and sometimes i had pressure on my bladder. I went to a bunch of drs and no one could diagnose me. I even had a lapropscopy. I had to take percocets to be able to go to work and i noticed that stress made it worse. I still get pelvic pain but not as severe. I bet that i have Ic!
