      From Bdancer June 5

      Thank you!

      I hope I can convince my BF that we should not let the chance to get this house pass us by!! It's exactly what we need for our family - perfect size and yard, everything!

      Hang in there. Hopefully we will find more energy soon!

      From SafeNSerene May 2

      Hello, just read that you have RA, on top of fibro. I was recently dx'd with RA and just can't believe the fatigue and I thought I was getting better, oh well, a new journey, doesn't look like a fun one from here!

      From SweetyTweety April 8

      Hi Hon. Just checking to see how you are doing. I miss hearing from you. Are you ok? Sorry I haven't heard from you. I have not been doing good myself. I need to have a cat scan for my stomach and an MRI for the hemotome on the back of my left leg. I have been in a lot of pain. I want to wish you and your family a Very Happy Easter. Look forward to hearing from you. Love. Ellie

      From Pammyann April 7

      I know what you mean when you say you are tired of being tired. I just started adderall and it seems to help. I pray you get energy.

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I have had fibro and cfs since 1994. It wasn't too bad at first, but it steadily got worse and worse. I had to go on disability in 2002. I stay really tired all the time & most of the time I feel as if I have worst case of flu in the world. I also have RA, Osteoarth, & emphysema. I can barely keep up with the housework, & after cooking one meal a day I am done for the day, most days.My son that lives with us helps me a lot.Do any of you have to lay down a lot?Thanks
