Hi ,

Welcome to the group. I can relate to your not being able to stand very long, I can't do alot of things I used to. I don't do dishes or cook and having a shower is agonising because I have to stand so long. You sure have a handful with the little one. I don't think I could do it at my age anyway. Take care.

Good Afternoon,I am L. Thurman, I am 31 yrs old, with 2 children and 2 step-sons...I currently live in Bellefontaine, Ohio,with my hubby and 2 step-sons, but was born and raised in Toronto Ontario, Canada.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.

Hi ,

Welcome to the group. This is a wonderful group of people who are very informative and compassionate. We all need support.

Did your doctor diagnose you with FM? Did he do the pressure point mapping?

One thing that I've done recently that has helped is to start on a slew of vitamins and minerals. I went to the local health food store and talked to the herbalist there. It has made a difference in my energy level and pain wise too.

I look forward to getting to know you.

now I just need to find money to get back in and see him...so at the moment, hes got me on 10 mg of prednisone a day, + 50 mg of indmethecin 3 x a day....I get alot of headaches, im depressed most of the time, have back, neck, hip and everyother joint pain u could possible think of....I have had IBS since as long as I can remember....and either I dont sleep enough or seem to sleep too much....and cant do much physically... standing for a few minutes to do a load of dishes seems impossible most of the time, hurts to take a bath... and we only have a bath....and the list could go on prolly forever.... so ill stop for now, I like to read , Love to cross-stitch.... and have plenty of fav tv shows... i mean what else is there to do, when u can barely walk or stand for that matter!!!hope to get to talk to u all very very soon!!!!!!!!
