Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Hi Lynette and welcome to the group. I understand every word you are saying...I had my right knee replaced 2 years ago. While I was home recuperating..I made the decision not to go back to work. I knew I could not do it anymore..the pain and exhaustion were just too much. It was not an easy thing for me to do, either. I had been working for 22 years in my field and I loved it and I was good at it. I understand that so many people don't have a choice...they need to work. I am fortunate..my husband had retired from his job of 34 years. He had to go back to work when I was unable to. Luckily...he didn't mind doing it and he is physically able to do it. Good luck with the decision you make..only you know how you feel..please don't let anyone make you feel guilty or that you need to justify your decision not to work anymore. It's your body and your pain. This is a great group and we are here for you. Hugs, Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Good question. I wondered that too. Am I at my peak or is this going to get worse with time and age???? Margaret, Mom to the monsters and master quilter -- Tell me something Hi Again, I think my real question got lost in my post. What I needed to know is, does your fibro seem to get worse the longer you have it. Love Lynette 1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general. 2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better. Have a nice day everyone.
