Hi all. My name is Margaret and I am from South Jersey. I was diagnosed with

Fibro in September 2003 but finally got pain relief for it in February. I'm

doing well, very functioning because I have to be. I have been married 19

years, have a 14 year old daughter, Becky, a 4 year old son Jake and a son that

will be 3 in September, Andy. I take percocet, Ambien and Celexa. It helps. I

take two percs every 4-6 hours, before I get in too much pain. I take one

Ambien at night and 2 Celexa (40 mgs total) at night. I was on that right after

I had my last son but only 20mgs but when they diagnosed me, they boosted it for

stress and anxiety relief.

I don't know what else you all want to know about me. I am a quilter. Have

been for about 3 years. I'm in the process of making a signature quilt for my

nieces graduation party on 7/10. I just cut it out today. Pray that I get it

done in time!! ) I have a good sense of humor which gets me through my life

with these two boys I have! I was 40 when I had Andy so I wll be 43 in August

and I don't know what is worse; a hormonal teenage daughter or the toddlers!!!!

I love them all. they are great. My husband is a nurse so that is a help when

it comes to meds and what's going on with me and what I can take and what i

can't (I have a severe, deadly allergy to asprin!!). So, it's a big help to

have him around. Just might keep him.

I look forward to getting to know you all. I belong to one other group for

fibro and a bunch of quilting groups so I check my email a few times a day.

Oh, and I'm really curious about this medicine that is buried on the bottom

shelf of WalMart?? What's up with that?? What is it?? Does it have asprin

product in it or a warning about asprin allergy??

I'm interested

> Oh Margaret....I got a magnifying mirror!!! Stupidest thing I

ever did. I can see every whisker, every blemish, every

sag.....etc. I well remember the day I was lecturing one of my

piano students.....I talked long and seriously and finally at the

end of my speechifying I said " Well, what do you think? " And she

replied.... " You've got the longest hair growing out of your

chin. " Oh, I just about died!!!!! Love, Cam

Cam,

That's just awful and forgive me, but I couldn't stop laughing after

reading it.

I remember once, I was 14 and was talking to my ex-boyfriend who I

hadn't seen in about 8 mos. Toward the end of our conversation he

said " Hey, do you know you have sideburns? " I was SOOOOO

embarrassed - I didn't know - but shaved them off quick.

Cam - honey it has spread from one bruise about the size of the bottom of a cup

to the size of my hand (including my fingers) and across my back to where (gasp)

my trigger points are on either side of my tailbone. And it is spreading

down.... It's HUGE! And it hurts. Thank you for caring for me. Some days it

feels like there are so few people who understand and can empathize. And it

HATE IT when my family just makes me feel like I'm being a whiney-butt (no Pun

intended). They don't think there is anything wrong with me - I'm just being

lazy.

But you would be proud of me. I wrote this long email to my doctor, therapist

and psycho-man and told them exactly how I was feeling and how I felt about

everything. We'll see how psycho-man does tomorrow. I have an appointment.

And my doctor and therapist get back from vacation tomorrow. Nothing like

dancing in the manure, huh. Aren't you proud of me?

Dear Blue Butt....please take care of yourself. I hate it when you are

hurting so much. Love, Cam

oh, honey, it sounds like everything is falling apart around you. hope you are

doing ok and not stressing too much about it. not only is the earth round but

there is this thing called gravity that if you try to jump just crumples you

back to the ground. hang in there. love, lynn

Good morning

Hi all. How are you all doing this morning? Good I hope. I think I OD'd

this morning! I didn't think I took my percocet and so I took them again (It

would have been a time period of about 10 minutes!) all the sudden I felt

better, and it usually takes about 10-15 minutes for my percs to kick in, which

means I DID take it about 10minutes earlier. Oh well,it's been nice knowing you

all! haha. I'll be fine, seriously. I've done it before. ANy tricks that you

guys use to remember that you've taken your meds and when you need to take them

again??? I guess I should get one of those pill dispensers but I would forget

to fill it! haha. I only know of the dispensers that give you one space a day.

I need one that has about 5 spaces a day. whatever. I'll live.

I have to mark a quilt today so I have something to take with me when we go

to the shore for our vacation next saturday. I plan on taking it with me while

the boys swim in the ocean with my dh. It may be hot on my lap but I enjoy hand

quilting so much. I think it will be alright. I hope we have better weather

for our vacation week than we had this week. It was raining or cold every day

this week.

Well, gonna run. Have to unload the dishwasher. I have been keeping my

kitchen spotless this week; having an empty dishwasher in the morning, cleaning

my sink till it shines, wiping up anything that spills, clearing off the table

and making sure it stays that way; etc. Well,yesterday the dishwasher didnt'

get emptied so there are dishes on the table and in the sink. ugh. It's funny

how quickly you can get into a habit; good or bad one!

Have a good day all. Will chat later.

Margaret,
