a post to all post,

[Guest guest]

Hello to all, HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I want to say, that for some reason my post are getting lost. I

think I wasn't resigned in when I have been doing them. I have been

reading and still watching the boards closely.

Tereasa no need to thank me. I told you I would step up when you and

site needed it. Even though most don't know me cause I am the silent

one, and didn't really seem to listen to what I had to say. They

will listen cause they will get to know me, I am not going any

where. You!, I know have always known and beleived I would be here

if and when anyone needed me. I am a fighter, and I have and will

always fight for something I see that is a good thing.

Welcome to all new memebers, that are coming in the last few days. I

know it seems comfusing with all the post you seem to be reading

about people leaving and the bickering. Don't worry about it, this

site was a family and it will be again. We (the ones who have been

here from the begining) will set examples for the others to get back

on track.

I will thank you all who have suggested different books to read.

There are a few I didn't read, and they are great to have the newly

dx'ed to read and start accepting and understanding this confusing

disorder.

, I am sorry you have gone so long without a dx you truely

beleive and trust. I also have been giong several years trying to

really find out what it going on in this body of mine. Here is

something that is going to confuse you. There are those who get

swelling and rashes you talk about. That so many others are telling

you are not a syptom of fibro. In most cases swelling is a sign that

it is not fibro, or that there is soemthing else going on, but it is

very possible to have swelling with fibro. I will find the info and

sites I have found that confirm this for everyone. Doctors and

researchers debate this syptom all the time.

Melody, I used the Valerian root for years, it did help me sleep,

and get back to sleep which was actually the hardest thing to do.It

did stop working for me though, who knows it might help again. I

think I might try it again. I am glad to see it is helping you and

that you posted on it, so others might try it and see if it will

help them.

Tris I am glad or join us, I also am glad that you and your

daughters can laugh and joke about different things about the

misible syptoms fibro can cause. I have found especial with the

pain, that if I make faces or act silly when it is at very high

levels, it helps my daughter not worry about me as much.
