Wanting to say hi all

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I've been a little slow in getting a

message sent out to let everyone know I'm a new member to the group -

sorry to the mods and the owner on that issue. I finally got the chance

to relax and start reading through the messages earlier tonight and I'm

so thankful to be a part of a group where I can talk to others that

understand what's going on. I have to say, I'm not as worse as I could

be but I'm still not 100% where I'd like to be if that makes sense -

frustrating as I'm sure others understand on that.

I wanted to introduce myself to everyone however. My name is Sue and I'm

happy to be a part of this big group. I'm 38, living in Iowa and

married. Full time student (reason for slow response of intro). Rather

than go to into a lot of detail on what led up to the issue (I can

explain off the list) what I will say is it took us over yr 1/2 to get

this figured out once and for all and with the heartfelt thanks to a

neuro surgeon in which we originally thought was going to put me on the

table in OR for a spinal fusion - said notta chance - instead spinal

nerves are in tact with the exception of the trigger areas being messed

up. Diagnosis is Myofascia Fibro - ick.

So here I am still learning more about this stuff and moving forward.

Luckily this can hopefully be fixed; that's the goal we're aiming

towards and the surgeon feels pretty positive about it but only time

will tell. I have my good days and my bad days but still keep hoping.

What the plan is now is to fix what wasn't done (again, long story) Long

and the short of it, I'm being sent to another specialist preferred by

the neuro surgeon who he feels will solve the issue or at least start

taking care of what went wrong so at least we're making some headway

with the issue now. *sigh*

Nevertheless. I'm tickled to be here and look forward to chatting with

you as I can. College finals are next week but between them and the

specialist appt for the FM I'll be popping in to look at the msgs.

Take care everyone,

Sue
