Re: (vent!)So how is everyone else's day going?

[Guest guest]

Hi Norah,

Don't worry...I've been called worse. :-)

Thanks for the words of encoragement and advice. My Dr. diagnosed me,

but wanted to send me to a rheumy (not a rummy as I have mistyped

before!) to confirm, but I got cut off from my insurance before I

could go see him.

I do need to double check, but I'm fairly certain I don't qualify for

disability or anything like that. Moving out isn't a half bad idea.

The thing about the fibro is that my mom claims she has it! You'd

think someone suffering from it would have a bit more sympathy. She

says that most of the time she feels just fine and she doesn't take

any pain meds for it or anything, so I do wonder...

I know how you feel I am going threw problems like that with my

roomate only I do everything and he sits on his ass and doesnt think

I am in pain. I know that things will be better once you are on your

own but unfortunatly it sounds like your parents wont change their

mind untill they either learn more about fibro or it happens to

them.I am lucky , my mother supports me and understands wqhat is

going on with me... shoot every time she comes home from lunch she

asks me if I am going to need a nap today and if so I can use her bed

(I dont live in the same town as her). If it wasnt for my mother the

only support I would have is this group. I am so sorry that your

parents dont understand what you are coping with. I wish I could

change that for you so they would be a little simpathetic and cut you

some slack. Being so young and getting FMS is very hard, I am

learning that too. I am 23 (on saturday) and people think I am lazy

too because I dont have the energy to do things like a " normal " 23

year old or I hurt so bad I dont want to move. Im just glad that I

didnt have to go another 4 or more years with out knowing what was

wrong with me, at least now I can put a name with the pain and other

problems that come with Fibromyalgia. I hope things get better for

you at home. If you ever want to vent or just chat with someone you

can always talk to me. and believe it or not I am a parent and I

understand you. You are not alone!

Sorry to hear you are going through a bad spell painwise.. we all know what its

like though I am not sure about your stomach, if that doesn't feel better in a

short time maybe you should see the doc?

Could you make a copy of one of the letters that have been posted to show your

family? There are a couple of good ones that really explain how we feel with

Fibromyalgia. If you don't know the ones I mean ask and one of us will find

them for you!

Hugs

Penny

Hi Penny,

I managed to eat something today, but I'm still feeling sick. Really

hoping this is a bug or something. I would go to the doc if this

persists, but I don't have medical insurance now, so no doc for me.

Thanks for the thoughts and well wishes. :-)
