Hello all Im new

August 30, 2002

Hi all, this is my second time tring to post this so I hope it goes

through. My name is I am a 31 year old married female with

one 13 year old girl, I live in Fl. I was looking through support

groups when I came across this one, and I wanted to give it a try. I

have several chronic illnesses... Crohns Disease, Rhumatoid

Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and severe migraines. So I pretty much feel

like crap all the time. I am pretty much home bound so I dont have

alot of relationships outside of my family, And I was hopeing that

this site would be a nice place to meet some people who actually

understand what you are going through. I hate it when people who dont

know what you are going through start giving advice that wasnt asked

for in the first place. For instance my neighbor (she is a very nice

lady and I never say anything to her cause I dont want to hurt her

feelings) Came over yesterday with an article about people with

fibromyalgia should walk to help the pain.....Ya know I dont know

maybe it has worked for other people but Ive done the walking thing

before and it dosnt help me. And now that Im having problems with

migraines I absolutly hate going out in the sun....it kills me (I

feel like a vampire ha ha) so Im going to try submitting this again

and I hope to hear from you.

well as for his brother. I bottle fed him and he is my sweet little guy!!

story lol), Ian and Gracie are my ducks they are almost 5 months old. Gracie

Hi Helen,

Nice to meet you, I have already met several of the group here, and you are

right!!! They are very nice. My well being???? I dont know, (having a bad day I

guess) I try to cope the best I can with the chores, I try to do as much as I

can get done on the good days, on the bad days when I just cant bear it, I just

let it go. Like today Im having a severe headache, but forced myself to go to

the grocery store cause I had no food!!! LOL. My husband helps as much as he

can, but he works two jobs. My daughter tries to help also, but her life is

pretty chaotic, with school and all of her social stuff, (she also has irritable

bowel syndrome so she gets her bad days too). With having so many illnesses, its

like one day my Crohn's Disease will bother me, then the next its my fibro, so

on and so forth its like being a yo-yo. Lol Well it was nice meeting you hope to

talk to you again!! Take care of you!!

Re: Hello all Im new

Hi )

WELCOME to the group ) Theres a bunch of awful NICE folks on here... All

have different diseases and some are care givers... Which is a Hard job in

itself... I myself have three of your four disease's on your list... Start

telling us about your well being, how you cope with daily chores or just life

in general... I know we have a couple on here with crohn's, hmmmm can't think

of there names off hand, which isn't unusual, I will have to look that one up

in one of my tablets ) A lot on here are homebound, so talk away, someone

will answer eventually )

((( Welcoming Hugs )))

Re: Hello all Im new

Hi ) They both came through ) gets the Hiccups sometimes

and delays our post which is Very frustrating to say the least!

Yes, doesn't it get aggervating when the know it all's know what is in your

best interests! I know most of them mean no harm, but like you said, Most of

all that they find to help us out with we more than likely tried, because we

don't Plan on living this way!!! I didn't plan my life with pain in every

joint and muscle,24/7... it decided to find me ) By the way, my name is

Helen from Ohio, i'm 51, have been ill for 40 years now with one thing after

another... My list tops off at 20 at this point... )

Again Welcome!!!

) Hey ! Sorry to hear you still have the migraine!!!!

Nana and I came out here in 2001 for 6 days to buy a house!!!! lol We wanted

a two story farm house with at least 5 acres...we got a brick ranch home on

2 acres lol oh well it's home and I love it would be nice with more land BUT

I can hardly handle this much so maybe it is best!! LOL OMG that story

reminds me of something!!!! Back in California, gosh almost two years ago I

guess one of the boys I use to take care of was staying with us for the

weekend we were having a safari camp out in my room lol with all the stuffed

animals. I was fixing our 'fort' when I heard this little voice from down

stairs say " ummm...Jessi? 's bunnying !!!!!!!! " LOL Out of the

mouth of a 7 year old!!!!!!!! is our cat Benny is our bunny lol. We

now refer to 'that' as 'Bunnying' LOL He had me laughing so hard he probably

thought I had finally lost it LOL

Omg......that is sooo funny, they say laughter is the best medicine, so that

means animals are too cause they (and kids) make you laugh so hard.

p.s. hope you are feeling better!!!
