  I haven't been on in awhile, life has definitely been tricky lately.I ordered a lightweight folding cane to keep in my bag, it came with a little bag to put it in. On one hand I'm excited to have it for when I need it, on the other I'm bummed that I need it at all.I've decided to move back to Virginia. As much as I want to be able to take care of my mom, the fact of the matter is as she progresses I won't be able to help as much as she needs me to. Plus my mental health is in the toilet from...

  I am in so much pain today.. my left hip, my right shoulder blade, my left leg, both of my ankles, my neck, my arms, my lower back, my feet... guys I'm close to going to urgent care because I'm in so much pain. I've been basically crawling to the bathroom and back to the couch all day. I can't focus on anything that normally helps me relax, I can't even hold my head up. I've been eating wheat thins all day cause that's the only thing I was able to grab from the kitchen. When I stand up I get...

  I moved from Virginia where my husband, friends, and entire life is to Arizona to take care of my mom who has secondary progressive Multiple Sclerosis. My dad is a total asshat who doesn't take care of her much and would rather spend his time at the dance studio. Before I moved back my mom was alone a lot. She's completely wheelchair bound, thankfully she can still transfer by herself(for now), but she's unable to cook for herself. She needs someone there to clean, do the laundry, cook, tale...

  I cannot stress how frustrated I am with trying to find a decent rheumatologist. The one my neurologist recommended doesn't take insurance and the one my primary recommended.. let's just say the office staff is a nightmare. I'm also worried about finding a rheumatologist that actually "believes" in fibro. I know that they treat fibro but I know that so many doctors think of fibro as "all in your head" and "not a real chronic illness." I'm just so stressed with all of this and feel so lost.
