Hi!!

Well, I'm . I'm 29 and I was (after a frustrating and infuriating series

of b.s. from my male HMO docs) diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in November of

2000. I am, ironically, a dancer and also a writer and a fundraiser. I'm

divorced, living with my boyfriend (a musician and body-piercer), no kids,

one dog, two snakes. I also have bi-polar disorder (I'm extremely controlled

and high-functioning) and a bleeding ulcer, and have had several miscarriages

in the last two years. These are symptoms that I'm finding are not uncommon

amongst those of us with Fibromyalgia and CFS.

Well, I'm still just learning alot about this disease, so I'll probably be

asking tons of dumb questions. Just wanted to say hey!!!

So nice to meet you , sounds like so many of us with the dreaded disease.

I also have bi-polar as well as several other problems. Look forward to

hearing from you in the future, and BTW, there are no dumb questions, as, if

you're curious, then you have a valid reason to ask. Shay

Hi Jo, and welcome to the fibromyalgia list! If you don't mind my

asking, what was it that the Dr. did wrong with your surgery? You will like

this list. It is very caring and helpful!

Carol

Hello, Here is my info. I was looking around for a support group for CFS

& Fibro. I found you all. I thought I would spend some time here to see

if I fit in and felt comfortable. From what we are trying to figure out,

I possible got the Fibro because my body starved for 22 months following

an gastric Bypass weight loss surgery. It's a long story but the damage

that surgery did to me is not reversible and it's severe. The Dr.

" goofed " up, and now I'm disabled for life. I'm looking forward to

meeting you all.

[Guest guest]

Hello,

It's a pretty long story but in short. I had a weightloss surgery in

Nov. 1996. The DR bypassed too much of my small intestine on purpose. I

feel he used me for a guinea pig. I was one of the biggest patients in

the beginning. He told me to my face that he bypassed more on me that

usual, there is no way I could ever gain weight. anyway my body starved

for a good 22 months. I was living on just my body fat. Since I had no

vitamins or nutrients or anything my body had nothing to live on. One

Dr. believes that that is where the Fibro started. I'm not sure exactly

all I know is I hurt badly. It's been worse in these last weeks or month

or so. I'm on the fentynal pain patch @ 50 mg per hour. But it's not as

much help as it used to be. I have a whole list of things " wrong with

me " because of that surgery. My Body went into shock with the 2nd (total

of 7, may have gone into shock with them all) surgery since my body was

already so ill. and that seems to be when everything started. Here is my

list.....

Fibromanalgia, Insomnia, Chronic fatigue syndrome, Depression, Anxiety

Blackouts, Malabsorbtion, Hypoglycemia, Eating disorder, Migraines

I guess some of these things go hand in hand I'm trying to learn all I

can, This way I know what my body needs. and I can figure out what's the

best for me. IM really looking forward to meeting you all.

Thank you for the welcome (thanks to all of you)

I'm so happy I found you all.

I own a mailing list for Pet lovers and my list is very loving and

supportive as well. we get off subject a lot and we are a very close

knit group. we know what's going on in each other lives and offer lots

of good thoughts & prayers & support. This looks to be another great

group of supportive people. I'm very excited to be here and learn all I

can. I have researched alot but with my memory " issues " I seldom

remember the things I need to unless I take notes. That is something I

should explain quickly too. since I went with out any Vitamin B-12 for

so long I have had some actual brain damage done to my brain. I have a

horrible memory, I cant remember much but there are some thing that do

just pop into my mind like they have always been there, And I have many

time is cant remember what I'm talking about in mid sentence. I realize

that happens a lot of people. but with me it's constant it never stops.

It's hard to explain. I also have brain seizures. it's not like

epilepsy, Everything goes all weird and it feels as if somebody has

their hand on my brain squeezing it. I have blood vessel spasms in my

brain as well. I also suffer from Blackouts. where I loose time. they

have been really bad. iv been lucky for a while and they have been

small, my last big one was last Christmas I lost 2 1/2 days. I still

function and everything I just have no memory of it. If I do have a

slight memory it's like a faded dream that only last a second. They are

no fun and have caused some really horrible things to happen recently, I

just cant talk about them yet. It's a lot to explain and to try to make

it understandable is not easy at all.

If you have any questions or don't understand how I'm saying something

please feel free to ask I will do the best I can. I feel it's important

to know the whole deal or as much as possible so you understand what is

going on.

Life, health wise is a complete horror, it might be a nice relief to

share it with people who understand and have " been there " IM extremely

fortunate to have a very wonderful loving and supportive family. My

Husband is wonderful and my children as well. That's another story on

it's own.

again I'm excited to be here.

How many people are on this list, actively? I was just wondering how

many people I would be sharing my life with, and if every member is

active or if there are a lot of lurkers. thanks again!

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

knit group. we know what's going on in each other

lives and offer lots<BR>

of good thoughts & amp; prayers & amp; support. This

looks to be another great<BR>

group of supportive people. I'm very excited to be

here and learn all I<BR>

can. I have researched alot but with my memory

& quot;issues & quot; I seldom<BR>

remember the things I need to unless I take notes.

That is something I<BR>

should explain quickly too. since I went with out any

Vitamin B-12 for<BR>

so long I have had some actual brain damage done to my

brain. I have a<BR>

horrible memory, I cant remember much but there are

some thing that do<BR>

just pop into my mind like they have always been

there, And I have many<BR>

time is cant remember what I'm talking about in mid

sentence. I realize<BR>

that happens a lot of people. but with me it's

constant it never stops.<BR>

It's hard to explain. I also have brain seizures. it's

not like<BR>

epilepsy, & nbsp; Everything goes all weird and it feels

as if somebody has<BR>

their hand on my brain squeezing it. I have blood

vessel spasms in my<BR>

brain as well. I also suffer from Blackouts. where I

loose time. they<BR>

have been really bad. iv been lucky for a while and

they have been<BR>

small, my last big one was last Christmas I lost 2 1/2

days. I still<BR>

function and everything I just have no memory of it.

If I do have a<BR>

slight memory it's like a faded dream that only last a

second. They are<BR>

no fun and have caused some really horrible things to

happen recently, I<BR>

just cant talk about them yet. It's a lot to explain

and to try to make<BR>

it understandable is not easy at all. <BR>

If you have any questions or don't understand how I'm

saying something<BR>

please feel free to ask I will do the best I can. I

feel it's important<BR>

to know the whole deal or as much as possible so you

understand what is<BR>

going on. <BR>

Life, health wise is a complete horror, it might be a

nice relief to<BR>

share it with people who understand and have

& quot;been there & quot; IM extremely<BR>

fortunate to have a very wonderful loving and

supportive family. My<BR>

Husband is wonderful and my children as well. That's

another story on<BR>

it's own. <BR>

again I'm excited to be here. <BR>

How many people are on this list, actively? I was just

wondering how<BR>

many people I would be sharing my life with, and if

every member is<BR>

active or if there are a lot of lurkers. thanks

again!<BR>

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

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
