RE: Welcome to Fibromyalgia-CFS

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

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.

God bless

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.

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.
