Fibromyalgia Support Group
You're not alone in your pain. Fibromyalgia is a condition that can be difficult to diagnose and manage. If you're trying to cope with pain throughout your body, sleep problems, general fatigue, or other common fibromyalgia symptoms, you're in the right place. The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
I'm curious and I hope this isn't a repeat of a previous post.
What is your personality type? -- Before fibro and after fibro? Are they different?
Type A individuals can be described as impatient, excessively time-conscious, insecure about their status, highly competitive, hostile and aggressive, and incapable of relaxation. They are often high achieving workaholics who multi-task, drive themselves with deadlines, and are unhappy about the smallest of delays. Because of these characteristics, Type A individuals are often described as "stress junkies."
Type B individuals, in contrast, are described as patient, relaxed, and easy-going.
There is also a Type AB mixed profile for people who cannot be clearly categorized.
I think I was once AB (like in high school) and then I became a solid A. I'm still a solid A but I think I need to change that!!! This fibro makes Type B appealing.....cause everytime I screw up, or can't get something done, I get SO frustrated!!

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
Perhaps being a Staff Nurse was something to do with the A type, although not all the points that makes a type A, if you see what I mean. Anyhoo, good post.

Did you know that when something goes wrong, women generally look internally for the cause? Men generally think the cause was external (like, they blame it on a woman...) Think a minute. You know this is true.
More women have Fibro than men.
Now I am a real B, some days a C. Does the zombie state make me a C.
My impatience was usually with ignorance, hatefulness and a world where we don't take such good care of those that cannot care for themselves. Hot under the collar A on these issues. lol
