kidney stones a gift

Happy Hump day to you all ,


I am happy and sad that I woke up at 4:00 am with pain and bleeding - kidney stones as i've experienced before !!!


The sad thing is that I was actually in alot of pain and relieved that I didn't have to push through another agonzing day with fibromyalgia at my office. 


I am a dental hygienist and have to sit one on one with people every day.  Pushing through my fibromyalgia symptoms has been hell and so stressful  for weeks.  I have to work and feel trapped - I get so anxious and that leads to depresssion. 


Whoever thought that kidney stones would be better than working with fibromyalgia !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Desperate for comfort and wisdom.   Thank you for reading my post !!  PJ

oh geez, no no no, how horrible to have to be glad for a stone... I had one many many years ago, and found hot honeyed water with lemon juice in it to be very nice somehow. But I'm weird. Just... heal up, okay? Big hugs.

I get it. I’ve dealt with kidney stones several times. It’s the known pain that makes the difference. People seem to understand that pain more than fibro pain.

Healing prayers for you!

Yes, Bobbi, people can understand kidney stones so they can empathize -
fibromyalgia just is annoying to others. They get tired of hearing it so we are left to deal with it on our own. So grateful for this group and you all !!
Blessings to you !

Leo - thank you for the suggestions of the hot honeyed water with lemon.
Worth trying !!

Big gentle hugs to you both !!

    88FIn 1969 we decided to get married without a big wedding. Most of our friends and family liked large over the top for the time kind of weddings and I did not. First, I didn't see why spending so much money for one day when we have the rest of our lives to live. I have never regretted not having a big formal wedding. Another issue is not liking all the attention. Also, we have gone to big...
