Guest guest Posted December 9, 2000 Report Share Posted December 9, 2000 I forgot I hadn't been taking my allergy meds. Took one , itching relieved. Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......................Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2000 Report Share Posted December 9, 2000 Morning Gang.... I also experience itching... at first I thought it was one of my many allergies but it continued even after taking my antihistamines. I wonder if the itching is partly due to stress and nerves. I know the more stressed I am the worse the fibro pain gets. Also, weather changes are wicked on me. The forcast in Vancouver, BC, Canada is for bitter cold and a possibility of snow. It is supposed to go into the low teens by Sunday night. We use the celcius temps and I am not sure what it would be - metric stuff is all Greek to me. I also get a burning pain under my skin which nothing seems to help remove it. Not sure what causes that but it is annoying. I also have limb twitching when I lay down. At first it would wake me up and I guess I am just used to it now. I have even had severe twitches which lifted my entire body off the couch. My worst spots for pain are my knees, back of neck, across shoulder blades, hips and my lumbar/SI joints and so I have to sleep on my sides. I have moved to the couch which reduces the tossing and turning. I cannot sleep on my back without waking up in tears. I am thinking of getting a body pillow to put behind me so I cannot roll onto my back. Went to the rheumy on Nov 21st and we are still waiting for her to send my family Dr a report. The specialist wants to change me from Percocet to Morphine 2x/day, but my GP(family doc) wants to wait and see what the specialist says before we make the switch. Well, guess I should get off the soap box for now... welcome to our group and I hope you enjoy your stay. Angel Hugs+Love aka Spark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I have itching, not sure if it is FM or not, but I would assume that my skin is dry due to the meds I take. I constantly use my back scratcher and cream or make it soft and less dry.

Geez what are they > going to give her for a wedding gift? Debbie, Hi! I am glad that you can slow down with the wedding planning and all. I am sure it will be a great time and your daughter will appreciate all you have done for her. That is great about the shower. Who did she get the microwave from? That does sound like a huge shower gift. Maybe she will get a refridge for her wedding present! I am doing ok, although I have not been sleeping lately. I can't fall asleep at night, and stay up till 2 am till I am finally able to sleep. Then I feel so tired the next day that I fall asleep during the day. I am not sure why? I was thinking that maybe it was unconscious stress or something? Not sure, but I hope that it goes away. I will be all messed up with sleep patterns. They say that you need to get a routine. Well, I will end. Thanks for writing. Sending Comfort and Peace Janice " I wish we could change our dials to AM instead of FM!!! " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2000 Report Share Posted December 19, 2000 I try not to nap because of what it does to my nighttime sleep, but sometimes it can't be helped. Everything you said about the stages of sleep is so true! About 6 months ago, I took a 4 hour nap in the afternoon (I know very bad and I did suffer that night) but it was the first time I felt rested in years. It didn't last long, but the feeling was amazing. Re: new here Janice, Your sleeping problems might have something to do with stress, but it is also a symptom of Fibromyalgia. Actually a doctor explained it to me like this: Most people (when they sleep) go into 4 stages of sleep. The last stage is known as REM sleep. However, people with Fibro never quite make it into that 4th and final REM stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2000 Report Share Posted December 21, 2000 , Amen and Amen. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes and may I extend the same to you and your family as well. I plan on taking a mental health day sometime next week. Tomorrow is the rehearsal dinner, Friday is the wedding, the day after the kids will be coming over here to open their gifts, the next day is Xmas eve with my family about an hours drive away and the next day is Christmas and my step-daughter and her 3 children will be coming over for that. When all that is over, it's definitely mental health time. I am looking forward to it immensely. Again, Have a wonderful holiday season and May God Richly Bless You and Yours at this time and always. With Love, Debbie G.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Hi everybody, I'm new here and I'm trying to decide if the surgery is what I want to do. It's an awful big committment to go through but I'm an awful big person - too overweight, too many years, too many diets, too many diet plans and weightloss clubs! I hope I can find some good answers here. Thanks, Mills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Hi , I'm relatively new here, I'm in the same place you are, trying to decide if this is what I want. I'm just like you, been there done that on most diets, too overweight, and too many health problems because of it. I have a referral from my doctor to the surgeon to begin thinking about it. I have been reading here for a couple of weeks, lots of nice people, and I'm sure you will get alot of help from everyone here.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Hi , Welcome to our group. Usually you wouldn't get personal email from anyone unless you give them your email address and ask them to email you. The replies are made to your comments and then usually go out to the group. It is a really great process because there are so many of us now that usually someone has the answer. Ramona 1/13/2003 357/210/? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
