January 7 2008,
This week after the holidays I plan to stand everyday as long as I can for one week without taking my medication. Holding a sign saying " I have a Invisible Illness called Fibromyalgia on the front. And I need help with a saying for the back. So please everyone come up with something to help me get the attention from people who pass me. I am tired of writeing,begging for help and a cure. To many monopolize on this illness. And I and others are made to suffer and lose everything.. Seems these days in order to get attention from the right people?? Is for the public to see someone suffer to the breaking point. Sad isnt it.

July of last year I was finally diagnosed with this crap. I was referred to all kinds of Doctors only to leave with less money and more drugs that did not help me. Now the FDA has approved a drug called Lyrica. This is not new. Not to me anyway. It sucks and messes with your head and eyes and most important. Made me gain 45pds. I have wrote to many in TV land for the recognition of fibro but no one wants to give a shit about it. So without help and not having family for support. I have lost everything I worked so hard for. The reason to go without medication is to show just what this evil Illness looks like and how disabuling it can be without the despretly needed medical care one needs to have just one day of being pain free.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
