Lovin' the Anthem, Roma! Its a great group F

[Guest guest]

I have been a part of this group for only a few short weeks. And I

must say that just realizing how many other women out there have

experienced or are experiencing the same or similar symptoms as I do,

makes me feel a thousand times better! I must respond to F. in

regards to feeling that this group may not lend the kind of support

she's looking for and that Roma's Anthem seemed a bit offensive to

her...It would seem to me that we are all suffering from these nasty

fibroids and although its not a laughing matter, it would seem that

the lightness of humor being thrown into the intense discomfort that

we all experience helps a little. I say, " stick with it a

little longer, it really is a great, informative and supportive group

of women! " and that although it isn't necessarily the cure, laughter

is still the best medicine! ) Betsy

Y' know...when my oldest son was first diagnosed with Autism/Asperger's

Sydrome...I wanted to see the

movie RAIN MAN...but I jumped up and ran out in tears after a few minutes. Many

years later I went to

see it and roared with laughter. It's just that some of us have been so

compromised with fibroids for

so long; laughter can be a healing thing, a great way to cope The greatest and

most profound comedy

comes from the greatest pain. I have to laugh my posterior off any chance I get.

First, my name is Penny, not . Secondly, I

totally believe that humor is a must. I used to do

stand up in my younger days. What pushed my buttons

was that the particular lyrics of the song seemed to

take away hope-and that is nothing to laugh at. I

believe we need to have faith that our fibroids will

die " as time goes by. " I dug up the other songs, etc.

and found them to be very playful and funny, laughed

out loud, but this one actually saddened me. A

combination of it sounding like it gave up on hope

mixed in with the memories connected to the classic

Casablanca, which has brought tears to my eyes

everytime I've seen it (Seven, at least)! And, BTW,

Rainman is another one of my favorite movies.

Hope is essential. In the myth of Pandora's box...it was the one thing that

didn't fly out of

the box. We must all find a way to have hope...whether it is real or we

manufacture it. I am a great

proponent of delusions! hahaha. Polyanna's lenses...

Before I could watch Rainman I had to deal with the grief and loss and

sadness of my son's

diagnosis of Autism/Asperger's, ADHD, OCD, and Tourette's Syndrome! In hindsite,

how could I know in

fact, that his disabilities created remarkable abilities....the script in my

head was all wrong....

Hope...laughter...detours....tears/fears...to Hope again. gg
