Hello everyone I'm Charisse. I'm 32 years old and live in northern CA

(Sonoma County) and have been married for almost 8 years. I was

diagnosed with fibro in Nov '06 but had it for probably at least 3 or

4 years prior. I also suffer from Gastroparesis and possible

Interstitial Cystitis but were still working on that diagnosis. It's

a bladder condition although my rheumy is telling me bladder problems

are quite common with fibro. Does anyone else have bladder problems?

My GYN wants to put a telescope up my urethra later this month but I'm

afraid to let anyone touch me down there if it turns out to be fibro

pain and nothing to physically see. I understand this is a busy group

which is great cause that's how I like them!!! Charisse

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.

3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is:

4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the

same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something

another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member

may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal

with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense

of humor.

5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let

us know so that we can do our best to offer our support.

Have a nice day everyone.
