Hi everyone, I'm Tyralei. A pacific Islander " stuck " in cold Wisconsin. How did

I get here when my parents aren't anymore!??!! LOL

Me: I'm a mom of only 2 - they are 16 and 17.5 yrs. old. My hubby and I have

been together for 26 years, 21 of them married. We also homeschool the boys, but

we are almost done with that journey. I'm also a part-time librarian assistant

- wonderful job for a homeschooling Mom! I love to make homemade cards, I

paint and have just started making a few pieces of jewelry for myself. Not a

business or even a hobby - just a few pieces for my wardrobe. Hubby built me an

art studio for all of my artsy-fartsy'ness. Oh, and I have recently discovered

the joy of knitting! I started a knitting class - with the intention of having

only 6 sessions, but now the ladies won't let me quit. They want to keep meeting

and have added snacks and a book to read so we can all talk about it when we are

together. Right now I'm planning a Memorial Day (Saturday) knitting brunch for

all of us!

Medical: I got really sick 7 yrs. ago when my endometriosis and complications

from that almost killed me (literally) and have since been living life with endo

pains. However, for the last 2 years, plus, I " knew " in my heart that some of my

pains were NOT endo related. A massage therapist friend told me she thought I

had fibro. So, three months later, I finally go to the Dr. and yup, he agrees.

I also deal with gluten intolerance issues, which, when I stay away from gluten,

my fibro isn't nearly as bad. I found one or two articles on-line that agree

with that, but those are just articles. Very one-sided. About a month ago (and

the reason for my finally deciding to see the Dr.), I thought there was blood in

my stool. That would be gluten related.

Marital: Thru all of this - the endo, the infertility issues, the fibro, the

gluten, the pain days... my hubby has stayed by my side. However, recently he

has had his own stresses at his workplace. The day of my appt. I wanted to talk

to him about it all, but all he could say (and I do not fault him for this, it

was bad timing) was that he didn't want to hear anymore about my health - that

he couldn't handle it. He meant right then and there. I said alright, that was

fine, i understood. But inside I began to worry. Almost every person that I knew

face-to-face or online with endo/fibro issues - their significant other left

them for someone else. It was then that I thought I better find another outlet

for my fibro woes, so I don't overwhelm the poor guy. We did finally talk and I

told him he could leave if he needed to, but he assured me that it was just a

terrible time for him at work and he didn't mean that he NEVER wanted to hear

about my medical

stuff again and he apologized over and over. I was so relieved. However, I

still believe that I need to be a part of a community of fellow fibro friends so

I can take some of the day-to-day mundane woes off of his shoulders a bit. Do

you know what I mean? I hope so.

Hopeful Me: That's me in a not so tiny nutshell. I hope I fit in here

somewhere. ~Aloha

Hi Tyralei,

Welcome to our group. I love to make jewelry for myself and friends. Gluten

caused me many problems over the years, and did better gluten free, but even

better grain free. Many of us are on the diet on this group. It helps a lot.

Hello Tyralei

Welcome to the group. Cold is terrible for us fibro people I always feel better

when I am in Hawaii.

I see some of the other members have posted. You will learn a great deal here

Are you using Grey Sea Salt? Also staying away from sugar?

The coconut oil that you are already using is great and some of use it as a

lotion as well.

Regarding your husband I am sure the added stress of work and your health issues

are hard on him. I had a stroke last year at the age 43 and my husband had to

quit his job to take care of me and then a few months later I started to hear a

whooshing and it turned out I had a fistula in my brain and had to have surgery

this Jan. I rely on him to do everything except the laundry...I try to cook once

a week but due to extreme head pain I am limited to what I can do. Doctors did

botox in my head and my trapes and it seemed to help. At first the trapes were

having a bad reaction so I wont let them do that again.

I love to knit as well. Welcome to the group!

Ciao-

Ange
