Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Rasmama, Hi and welcome to the group. My name is Deana. And I have had fibro for 4 years and considered my self a very independent person who worked for 11 years in a 62 bed nicu. That is the care of premature infant or infant who need surgery immediatley at birth. We had a transport team we were the biggest and best nicu for many miles and we got baby from all over other ares as far as 300-700miles away. I was a Rn and I also was in charge of the unit from time to time. Well I have gotten so bad that I just had to give up my job and it was my life. So I understand how you can feel defeated and worthless at least that are the feelings I have. My marriage is not doing well and half the time he barely gives me the time of day so I may as well be alone. So again I see and understand the psychological things you are also going through. This is a very loving group and I have on been writing here for a week or so but it helps me feel more important. Tell yourself you are not worthless you did not ask for this and you must find something to keep yourself feeling good. You have no one near who you can sit and talk with? Who could come and visit? Well you can write me any time. I will be glad to write back. Even if you just want to talk about the bad day you are having or had. Please write me.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2001 Report Share Posted June 8, 2001 I have fibro. and have had it now for around three to four years. I am currently on disability because of it. I am eager to connect with others who are dealing with the day to day stuff and winning. So far the best thing I have found is for every thirty minutes sitting,I need to get up and move around for at least five minutes. This has helped so very much. I wish I did it more,as I feel my legs swelling from being at the computer way to long. I am fifty plus years old,have two grown daughters,three dogs,two cats and thank goodness a beautiful place of my own. The dogs get me outside and walking whether I want to or not. I will probably lurk awhile.Thanks for being there.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2001 Report Share Posted June 8, 2001 abraxis3@... Hi Bonnie, Welcome! You've come to the right place! Lots of loving people here that know what it's like! I just turned 51 in May, and also have two grown children, 2 cats and a canary...oh, yeah, and a husband! LOL! Live in Davenport, IA and sing karaoke faithfully! Diagnosed about 4 years ago, but had it most of my life! Have been having incredible results from reading " The Power is Within You " by, Louise L. Hay and " Conversations with God " , and applying it to my life. Telling everybody about it. It's amazed me how well I've been doing, and I know it will work for others as well. If 'uplifting' is what you're looking for, it's definately here! Have a great day! Love, Sue --- LAUGHING BEAR wrote: > I have fibro. and have had it now for around three > to four years.

Live in Davenport, IA and sing karaoke faithfully! Diagnosed about 4 years ago, but had it most of my life! Have been having incredible results from reading " The Power is Within You " by, Louise L. Hay and " Conversations with God " , and applying it to my life. Telling everybody about it. It's amazed me how well I've been doing, and I know it will work for others as well. If 'uplifting' is what you're looking for, it's definately here! Have a great day! Love, Sue --- LAUGHING BEAR wrote: > I have fibro. and have had it now for around three > to four years.
