I didn't have to go this often to get results. It did take probably 10 months or so to get me to where I needed to be, but at the end of that 10 months, I was only going once a month. I can miss some time (I go once a month so say I skip a month), and depending on how I've been doing, I might need 2-3 treatments in week and a half, and then I'm back to where I was. I have never slid all the way back to my original shape. Everyone is different though. Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 << I quit going last friday..my boyfriend of two years has now decided he doesn't know what love is and he has decided that he can't handle the fibromyalgia and all my symptoms. i.e. falling bladder causing a diminished sex life..and the fact that I can't work...so I have gone into a huge, huge flare and am pretty down and out... >> I am so sorry to hear about your boyfriend. Is he staying or going? It seems to me after two years of living with you and fibro he would know how important he is to you for emotional help. Can you have surgery for the bladder? I had surgery for a fallen uterus and it was not a big problem. Please let us know how you are doing. Those flares can go on for a long time and you need someone to give you the emotional help that I mentioned. I feel that helps with flares. Is there no one close to you, family that can help. Take care, Irene Books may well be the only true magic Alice Hoffman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think he is having a really hard time with this disease and how to help me with it. As far as family goes yes my mother is very understanding because she has the samething, plus osteopedia, and osetoarthritis. So she is very understanding, however I can't move back home because I have an alchy father that refuses to get help and we clash BIG TIME!!! I can not submit myself to that environment again. I am afraid I would seriously hurt the man if I had to go through what I went through before. I wanted to tell all of you on the list Thank You sooo much for helping me deal with this situation. Without you guys I don't know what I would do...You all have helped me look at things in a positive way.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 When I first had surgery and then the accident, my husband was beside himself. He didn't really want to be around me (he was even going to leave), I thought it was because of *me,* but it's because he's so used to fixing things and he was upset because he couldn't " fix " me. We talked about it, I showed him some things that I had printed out, told him what the doctor said and I told him that *I* am ok with this, I will have days where I feel like a truck ran me over, but I *am* ok. He still feels a little frustrated, but he's learning that he can't fix everything and even though he can't fix me, I'm gonna be ok. If you can, print some things off the internet about it, caregiver information would be good too. I think he is afraid of what may happen to you and there isn't anything he can do, he feels helpless (don't tell him that) because he can't help you. It's human nature to be afraid of what you don't know or understand. (Ever heard of " Fear of the Unknown? " ) Help him to understand. Don't expect him to " get it " overnight, it's gonna take some time. I'm just trying to help. If you need information on anything, just let me know. Hang in there kid!

You each have helped me in my own special way. I feel like I have 10 sets of parents (which I love) its great I love to listen to my elders give me suggestions and tell me stories that way I don't have to experience everything the hard way, but believe me if you would of told me this 5 years ago it would of been like talk'n to a cement wall...Its soo neat and interesting how we all mature in stages.
