Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 It is the fibro that I am more owrried about oassing one....but now with the fibro and the PCO I am very very worried....Fibro is an awful debilitating disease. I would like ot emil you privately sometime if that s ok to see how you deal with both. Since IH ave founf out about the PCO I Have been having a VERY VERY rough time. I kknow have 5 incruable and mostly incredibabley painful disease. I am not even sure my body could carry a baby...I am thinking it is Gods way of telling me no kids for me. I have really been having a hard time with hthis, but want children desperately to appemt prgnanacy no matter how painful it would be for me, but lately I have been thinkng about how mygreat longings for a child are very selfish and if my child got fibor from me I would just die. I could not live knowing I did that to my child. THis whole mess has beeen in credibely depressing. =( I have had a lot of anxiety before this PCO diagnosis ( fibro can cause anciety in people). I also just found out that low estyrgoen can caus anxiety in peopoe too nd my estrogen is etrememely low. The fact that i know know about all of the risk of heart attacks and strokes and cancers has made my anxiety unbearable. I am sooo to the point that Iwonder why I get up everyday. I really have nothing. i dont have nay body parts that are pain or disease free. It has been very depressing for me...and since just being diagnosed with the PCO about a month ago..I am still going through the why me stage.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 Vicki, I also have both fm and pcos. It is a lot to handle and to add to the mix my neurologist thinks I have multiple schlorosis. It boggles my mind and sometimes I wonder how this all happened to me. I'm 36 and single and haven't really wanted to have kids...I love children especially when they belong to someone else *lol* My ob/gyn doesn't think I would even be able to get pregnant nor would I be able to carry a baby to term because my uterus is full of fibroid tumors when would keep the embryo from attaching the the wall. There are a lot of people though who have pcos who have children. I think it's a personal decision to make. You can have all of these syndromes and still have a good life. Life is what you make it.

I'm sure I'm not saying anything that you haven't already thought about, but I'll mention them anyway. Have you thought about adopting? How about fostering kids? Some people end up adopting their foster kids or at least emotionally adopting them. Any family or friends who have a kid that you can end up as sort of an Aunt Vicki to? How about being a Big Sister to a girl? Volunteering in schools? I know none of these are the same as actually having your own, but it might help with wanting a kid cravings. A friend of mine would love to have kids, but for a variety of reasons, having her own isn't right for her. She is fostering kids. > The fact that i know know about > all of the risk of heart attacks and strokes and cancers has made my anxiety > unbearable. Vicki, have you tried Cognitive Behavior modification? I will admit, it doesn't do much when I'm really anxious, but it does help for slight to moderate anxiety. I'm self taught, so I don't know if a professional would be able to help even more. >I am sooo to the point that Iwonder why I get up everyday.

I'm still struggle with finding new diseases or symptoms. I can't remember the last day I had that I was totally pain free. It may feel like you haven't nothing, that isn't true, you just have to find out what it is that you do have. It isn't always easy, I admit, I'm still working on it for myself. I have lost a lot of what I use to value, but there is still value in my life, I just have to find it. I hope you can find some value in your life.
