Just Want to Say Thanks

I started coming to DS about the end of July. Since day one I have had nothing but kindness, caring, and support from all of you.

I know we say it alot here but I honestly would be lost without you all. I dont know a single person who has fibro. I was truly alone in it until I came here.

Its sad and good that there are som many of you for me to support and be supported by. Maybe Im just being sentimental right now but I am so incredibly grateful for each an every one of you.

Im wishing you a pain free day and lots of love!

Brandy B.

Thats so sweet, Brandy!
I echo those same thoughts. I was a member on another FM board, and made wonderful lifelong friends there. This board moves better, and is easier to navigate. I love it, and all the good folks here. Just wish we didn't all have to have Fibro. But FMS has helped me to realize life can go on, and it can be good, we just have to lean on each other during the bad times and the good!

I feel blessed to be a member here. Thank you, Dixie Rose for leading me here!

Love, Hugs and Prayers to all!

Laurie :)

Back at you. We all need to commiserate about this lousy disease - forget syndrome! It is not a strong enough word for what we suffer.

Thank-you Brandy for taking the time to write that! I feel the same way, and I'm so glad that you no longer feel so alone:). I feel that way too. I think because of the nature of Fibro, it's so important to have others we can correspond with and can validate what we are going through, by essentially saying that "hey, I am going through the same thing." It does seem surreal sometimes to have this crazy pain, and then to have moments when we may feel normal (hopefully), only to realize that we overdid it the next day by living life as other normal people do. It can make a person feel crazy. We're not though, it's only too real, and we need to make sure we all stick together and support eachother, as we are doing. Thanks again!! Love and gentle hugs to you Brandy! LindaF

I know what you mean.

We may never have talked, but I'll always be here if you need me.

I will pray for pain-free days for you as well. :)

Please stay in the community. We need all the great people we can get.

I feel the same way. I felt alone before talking to everyone on here. I felt like I was going crazy because no one else understood. Everyone here that I've talked to has been supportive and encouraging. I love this site.

    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...
