Guest guest Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 Hi Lorraine, Thanks for the welcome.....U know what..my brain does that to. when it isn't running 100 mph it's standing still not moving at all. The worst for me is typing. If I don't look at the key bored I do just fine. but if I look I screw it all up. (but I always have to look.....go figure!) My brain works faster then my fingers most days while on the computer. it sure is frustrating LOL Thank god for spell check is all I can say hehe ~~~ Jo Hello CAthyjo Welcome to the group. It's good to talk as when we do we find out that we have so much in common. My brain works faster than my hands can write, but having the computer as been a great help as I can keep up and If I make mistakes I can always rectify it before sending and not have to rewrite everything as I used to have to do before computers came around.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 Hello, everyone! I just joined the FMS-CFS mailing list today to try to get some more information regarding FMS, as I believe I suffer from this condition. Name: Donna Riley Male/female: Female Age area: 30 Country/City/Farm life: City-NYC to be exact Do you have Fibromyalgia or CFS: I believe I have fibromyalgia... How bad is it: Right now it is very, very bad How long have you had it?: A year? What have you found works for you: I haven't found anything that helps yet Are you on disability: Not yet Married/ Single: Married Work out or stay at home: I am currently staying at home What else can I tell you guys? I also have a disease called endometriosis, that I have been suffering from for over 5 years-for those of you who don't know, endometriosis and FMS are commonly seen together or with other autoimmune disorders. I look forward to getting to know all of you and benefiting from your knowledge. -Donna Riley niobioblio@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2001 Report Share Posted November 4, 2001 Hi! My name is Meshell. I was diagnosed with FMS/CFS/MPS (along with several other accompanying illnesses) in 1998 after never recovering from an operation in 1997 to remove one of my kidneys. I am a 30-year-old homeschooling mother of 2. My 12-year-old daughter also has fibro, but doesn't want to go on prescription meds just yet. We didn't know of her fibro until I was diagnosed....I had never heard of it until then. I attributed all of her symptoms to a brain injury she had when she was 2. I know now that the surgery likely triggered the fibro. I look forward to getting to know all of you here. Meshell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just recently changed drs, because my dr., a male, did not have a clue. The only thing he ever did for me was prescribe Vioxx, which didn't help that much.
