Are We Blessed?

I am fairly new to the DS site but I love it here. Where else can you go day or night and find support? We at this site are blessed, we have our computers, the internet and each other to share with. Just think there are many other fibro suffers who don't have all this.

Hi Renee, Yes, I think we are truly blessed. This site has made an umbelievable difference in my life. I am basically housebound, in an area where I know virtually noone. This site has made me feel alive again, that I still have something to offer, that I am not the only one ill and in pain. It has given me a reason to get out of bed, it has taught me to laugh again, it has brought me friendships and support. In short, I have been blessed!

Good morning, ReneeAnn...
I just joined a little while ago. Learning my way around here.

And, yes, we are blessed. Count your blessings, name them one by one. So many things to be thankful for...

And, isn't it great to get up before daylight and to find others to chat with?

Fibro has definitely changed my life, but God is good.

Love and hugs,
Cleveland

Ya know.....I had never even heard of FM before being diagnosed......and I was so happy at that time to have been diagnosed with....."Something"....only to have that sensation die away as I realized there was no help out there...

but I was wrong...

One night I typed the word "Fibromyalgia" into my lil'search box......ans here you all are !!

these sites have been an absolute life saver for me....mostly cause now I know in fact I am NOT crazy...and there are some real good people out there been suffering alot longer then me and still here and still liveing life everydamn day......tho sometimes on their knees.

thank you for the gentle reminder !!

You are so right. I came to DS looking for caregiver support and then found this and ain't ever regretted it even when the drama flares. Love you all.

I feel extremely blessed to be able to talk to people from all corners of the world about a common denominator - Pain. I am blessed because I have found some of the most caring, kind, and sympathetic people in the world. When I first found this site, I wasnt quite sure what to make of it. Then all of sudden someone sends me a huge, welcoming me and I join communities and find that the one key thing - I AM NOT ALONE IN THE STRUGGLE. That to me is worth everything and no amount of money could ever purchase that kind of peace. Thanks to all my friends, for you are my sunshine on a rainy day. Thanks for the creators of this site. You will never know how many lives you have touched and healed and yes I am going to say it, God bless you all!!!!!

    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...
