This week after the holidays. I plan to stand everyday as long as I can for one week. Without taking medication. With a sign that says. " I have a invisible Illness called Fibromyalgia in 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 are Monopolizing on this Illness and me 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 isn't it??

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

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...
on the front of my T-shirt I have the letters FM...on the back they are gonna print "what is it ?"
cause ya know...I would REALLY like ta know...!!!
My advice to you is to quit the pity trip, don't waste your money on T-shirts, billboards or anything else that is only going to waste your time and money, and take your health into your OWN hands, do some research, open your mind just even a WEE bit and get some help from something other than a doctor of western medicine. They can't help us, they continue to tell us that loud and clear and yet very few listen. Those that do find a way to get better - and do, and those that don't simply find other doctors, and find other doctors until they find one that will do whatever they want that appeases them. Why is this?
Since when did doctors of western medicine get to be the 'be all and end all' of health care? Did you know that western medicine has the LOWEST success rate of almost every other type of treatment in the entire world?
You can stand outside with your billboard on, making your stand, proving your point, but the fact of the matter is that the doctors you see are trained to heal with prescription drugs and prescription drugs (very obviously) do NOT help with FM! You can stand there until you are blue in the face, freezing cold, sweating hot, whatever. Nothing you do, no matter how much money you raise will convince these doctors to find a way to 'cure' you.
You want attention from the 'right' people? Find a doctor who is a certified, legitimate doctor who has gone the extra years of training to learn how to heal NATURALLY!
It's amusing how a doctor of western medicine can't explain nor 'cure' FM, but a naturopathic doctor can do both? HMmmm...
I'm ranting, yes. I apologize. I'm very passionate about this. Please don't stand out on the street with a damn billboard! You aren't invisible but you are being taken advantage of and being let down by a system that really only wants your money.
would hardly call what we are doing a "Pity trip"...and if i so wish to go on a Pity Trip...I will and I will Invite all my Friends...and aquantances...and they each can Invite all of theirs and we will have one big PITY PARTY at the end of our Pity Trip...damn
Christ, I suffer from BOTH FM and CMP to the point where life is simply unbearable, but I often see people who are DYING from diseases such as cancer, or other terrible things who complain LESS than the bunch in here! Put yourselves into perspective, really.
all anyone is doing here is trying to make more people aware of something , not loking for pity..u really are bitter..
BTW, MY regular doctor is wonderful. I just recently requested medication which she gave me. Together, we came up with appts for massage therapy, allergy specialist, dermatologist, and a variety of other tests to rule out cancer, mold and other toxins, deficiencies etc. She is a smart lady who is trying to help.
So get off your high horse, quit making yourself look like an ass and stop talking about things you know nothing about. You don't know what other treatment options we've done or continuing to do. Also, some of us haven't been on any meds for years...doesn't mean we are less of a person than those that do need them.
If you aren't here to listen, offer your advice or participate in friendships or helping others...why don't you just LEAVE !!!!
we want to raise AWARENESS !!
not Put Plugs in for Big Pharma !!
meds can do nothing for me...I want freakin ANSWERS!!
thats what this is ABOUT...you musta read the Post WRONG...imagine that...we are all as sick of Dr.s as we are of being SICK.
Yes I agree with seeking natural alternatives besides modern medicine, One thing is. This was my life style before I got this evil Illness. So why it picked me?? I would fast 3 times a month and juice and eat meat only when my body craved it Also,, after I was diagnosed with fibro. I went to SO. Lake Tahoe and had a DR Whitcomb who is a Chiropractic help me and stayed there for 2 months and still no help. I spent out of pocket $9,000 Dollars. I can no longer do the job I love or any other cause of no help by the health care. They are who I am attacking. Not the Doctors.. Doctors are helping more and more. But they can only do so much. If you can do without the help of medication?? I am happy for you. I can not. I have tried.. Many times.. I have watched both my parents suffer months, days, and hours before they died from Cancer. Its a evil thing to have and to watch the ones you love with all your hart and soul wanting so desperately to not die. Only to do so with such pain and agony cause the Morphine no longer works. And hearing them screem. Yes they screem..
Also, you said you suffer from it.. so what initiative is that for me to go completely natural? I really don't like having to take medicine.. but guess what. It WORKS! For the first time in a long time, my fibro is under control. So who are you to tell me that I'm doing things wrong? I work at a dr's office and I can tell you that the dr I work for goes above and beyond to help his patients. If you don't like them, then fine. But how dare you come to a post about trying to help everyone with fibro, and tell us that we are complaining enough! We didn't make you come here and read this. So maybe next time you should keep your condescending thoughts to yourself.
I can hear your anger and yes, at times, I am so angry that I have lost "me" that I lash out at people. I hope that it (along with your other homeopathic remedies) has helped you hang in there "one more day". God Bless and take care....Lynda
STOP THE THIEF that stole my life!
