Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hi Amy! Fibro is a 'take it one day at a time' kind of thing. For me, one day I might feel pretty good, but the next feel like I was hit by a truck. You are not alone!

While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 That's a good topic - the denial. When Mom first told me she thought sister and I both had fibromyalgia, I looked at the links she sent me. I had every symptom! And I just sobbed as I read the websites because the thing that stood out to me the most was 'there is no cure.' So of course I said " No Mom, I don't have THAT, what were you thinking? " I later went through a period where I left all the fibro support groups I had recently joined. Mostly because my level of suffering was so much less than what most deal with on a daily basis, it convinced me that I wasn't that bad off. Then I actually went into a mini remission of sorts, the year I quit smoking, so was just convinced it went away. But no, it just took a little break because of the benefits quitting smoking did for my body. It's here, it's not going anywhere, and I've learned to accept that this is just my 'thing' and I'll do my best to manage whatever comes my way on a daily basis. I'm not in denial anymore, but I don't admit this has me. I don't say I HAVE fibro I say I deal with fibro. I believe thoughts are things and I don't attach any 'illness' to me as a way to define me. It is something I deal with, and by using those terms it has helped me personally learn to cope. But, yeah, sometimes there is still denial. I refuse to give in to this thing and I fight the good fight every day.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Several years ago the doc gave me steroids for a horrible sinus infection that just wouldn't quit. Well I must say, during those steroid pills, I felt NO PAIN for the first time in nearly ten years. I don't like how steroids weaken the immune system, but I did enjoy that pain free time.
