Re: To .... they would call in sick.....

[Guest guest]

You are so right girl. I think the same way. If any of them woke up just ONE

morning feeling the way I do, they would call in sick and go back to bed. If

just once they got numbness or tingling in their fingers or on the side of their

head, they would worry about a stroke. If just ONE day they had every muscle in

their body aching like they had worked out for 8 hours straight, they would call

in sick. If just one day they had blurring vision, they would think they were

having a stroke. Or the stiffness or fibro fog...... the world would cave in

that day. They simply have NO IDEA what we go through and can't imagine it

being this bad because they reason that they could not function if they really

had these symptoms. So, hence, we are labeled liars, attention seekers, drug

seekers, hypochondriacs, crazy lunatics... and etc.....

NO ONE BUT NO ONE knows the life of a fibro patient if they are not one

themselves.

hugs and love,

Isn't it fun when you realize that your everyday would be enough for

a " normal " to call 911 or at least a hospital to see if they need to

be in the ER? I often ponder on that while i'm at work! I think,

all these people that give me a hard time, what would they do if they

were experiencing the LEAST aggravating symptom that I'm experiencing

right now and experience everyday. (I had a different thought when I

started typing it, but I guess that sentence must come close to what

I was thinking...) Sorry... really foggy... I think I'll give up on

trying to type until at least tomrorow.

yep the muscles of the forehead and areas on my head. Sometimes my

glasses being on will trigger the muscles to twitch back and forth.

Wierd.

> Also at times I have tingling that will occur on one side of my

head. It will last for a few seconds then go away. Any other person

without fibro would probably be alarmed and wonder if they are having

a stroke. It will involve the entire side and top of my head on one

side.
