"I'm in so much pain, and it's really hard to bare!!! Need prayers!!!!!!!!!!!"

Journal Entry for April 20, 2009 Mood
Monday, April 20, 2009

No matter how long you have had this horrible

disease, you still don't know what to expect from all the pain and fatigue. I honestly don't think I have ever felt

so drained and just worn out. I have worried about Amber alot lately and always will but I have come to the conclusion

that I can't do anything to help her. She is going to have to do it herself. It's her life and she has to make the decision

to do what's right and live with it.

I have been in flares before, but I have never not been able or felt like talking. Today I just can't talk it's like

it takes too much out of me. When I walk through the house it feels like my legs are going to come out from under me.

This flare is really working on me, and this

is one time I really feel like giving up!!!

    I know how bad it is when you get flares..it feels like it will never stop and then I think I realize I am not superwoman..My girls call me everyday and my oldest is going through alot..it takes alot out of me but she has no friends anymore or anyone to talk to..but alot of things I have come to the conclusion I cant help her either..God bless you...

    I know how hard it gets. For a few weeks the pain in my back has been awful. One thing i do know you have to let chrildren make mistakes, and pray they learn from it. NO matter how much your heart is breaking. One thing you have to do also . You have fibromyalgial. DON'T LET IT GET YOU. Don't give it control of your body. That is the hardest thing to do. I have had it over 30 yrs. But i will fight that diease as long as i live. it has no control over me. LOVE YOU SWEETIE. ONE DAY WE WON'T HAVE THESE BATTLES TO FIGHT. LINDA

    Don't give up! It will get better. It always seems like it's going to last forever, but you will feel better. I'm sorry you're suffering so much. I hope you feel better very soon! You're right about Amber, you can only do so much, she has to make her own choices and live her own life. Easier said than done, of course, but do your best to love her without ruining your own life and health.

    Becky ,i do know how hard it is ,to get through these nasty flares...just know your being thought about ,and loved...and have a hand or two to hold when you most need it..:)
    I`m almost certain the reason this flare has lasted so long ,and taken so much from you ,is the stress you are under with your daughter ,and her problems...
    You`re right though...eventualy ,we have to losen the ties a .little...we never stop being a mum....but do have to let them discover for themselves ,that there are consequences to every action in life.....she`ll turn out ok...as one of my close ds friends told me once....you put good into her....good will come out...just keep the faith you have in her ,and in your abilities to teach all your girls right from wrong....cos they`ll remember it ,when they most need too:)
    Meanwhile ,i hope you can concentrate on just you:)..get yourself feeling brighter ,and the pain ease off some....the rest will fall into place...:)
    Sending all my love ,hugs and blessings my dear friend..ttys..love sharon xoxoxoxxo
