Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Welcome to the group Nora, Im Deb im 43, and have had fibro for many years, just diagnosed about 4 years ago, and just told im going through peri-menopause, and Im not sure what symptoms belong to which now, lol, they seem to overlap one another. Im sure you will enjoy this group alot. Again welcome Deb --- nora_noll2001 wrote: --------------------------------- Hello everyone. I just signed up for this group a couple of days ago. The new member welcome said to tell some things about me, so here goes. I am 38, mother of 2; daughter and son, grandmother of a wonderful little girl. I have gone through a divorce and have gotten remarried. I was diagnosed with fibro about 4 years ago. I had been going from specialist to specialist. My legs have hurt me since I was an infant, but I think that is not necessarily part of my fibro, although it certainly affects every thing it seems. I am not currently taking any pain medication for the fibro on a regular basis, but only because I am trying to fight it and not give into it. Before I was diagnosed, I had been seeing doctors on and off for about 15 years. It was a BIG relief to finally have a word, any word, of what was wrong with me. It would be even better to find out why my legs are hurting. Can you have fibro from birth? Is it possible? I have experienced the " fog " but I don't go through it on a regular basis yet. The thing I hate most about this, is that no one understands how bad the pain is. And I hate taking pain pills, because it makes me feel weak, like I am letting the fibro beat me. Pretty silly huh? Well, thanks for listening to my intro. I am looking forward to being part of this group. Nora. 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.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 > Welcome to the group Nora :-) > > > > > Norah, Hi. I can understand how weird it felt to leave off the " h " , because it really felt weird to put an " h " on the end, lol. Thank you for welcoming me to the group. I saw that you are from Ontario Canada. Me and my husband are coming up to Sault Ste Marie at the end of Sept. We are going to camp on the mich. side, and spend a day in Canada. We are really looking forward to the trip, although I am not neccessarily looking forward to camping, it tends to make me really sore..lol. I think we are just going to drive and take in the beautiful scenery. Nora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
