I am new here

[Guest guest]

Good evening! My name is Lucy, I am 31yrs old and live in Lancaster, Pa.

I did a quick search for chronic pain groups and yours came up so I

thought I would come and check out what these groups are like.

I am not sure exactly how to write a message or what to say but will

give you a brief summary of my life LOL.

I am new to groups in general so please bear with me.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 6 months ago but this was after

almost 2 yrs in pain. The drs could not figure out what was going on

and came up with fibro diagnosis which scares me. My specialist is also

thinking I may have MS but i have to go back for tests ect. I am very

terrified to tell you the truth and my husband does not understand. He

says everyone has pain at one pount or another in life and just have to

deal with it.

I have been married 11yrs, we have no children and had come to the

decision we would not have any which upsets me now cause it may be too

late with my pain and issues ect. I was doing great at my work and

loved it so much and now have a hard time moving around my house.

My husband works very long hours at his company he owns and thinks the

way to make me feel better is to throw money at me or buy me things. I

just dont know what to do anymore.

Life is so much more then this big house we have and the money we have

been blessed with but its not what i need. I have also lost a few dear

friends because im not able to go on long shopping trips and travel

like i used to.

I have become depressed but scared to go to a dr cause the last thing i

want is to have more meds and my medical bills are high enough as it

is. I have coverage through my husbands policy but do have to pay some

out of pocket.

I apologize for rambling and wanted to say hello. Please tell me if

this is not the type of messages for this group or where i need to go

from here. I guess i am looking for some friends and understanding. I

know my husband tries to understand but he is under lots of stress with

work and the last thing i wasnt to do is to add to that.

im not sure what else to write but look forward to meeting you and

hearing from you.

I just dont know how to deal with all of this anymore. I really have no

social life anymore and when i do go out i feel like a burden cause i

ache so much.

Thank you for listening to me and allowing me here with you

Regards,

Lucy in lancaster area
