Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 ... Hi! Sorry we got off on a bad start! Hope you'll stick around awhile! The last week or so things have been really crazy and not too many posts have gone through. Everyone has been busy because of the holidays and other obligations. I am normally on every night from 9 pm - 12 am (give or take an hour!). But, I have been gone with the flu since Christmas...(It was terrible). I live in the East...I keep wishing myself West...but it never happens I have fibro and Arnold Chiari Malformation w/ syringomyelia. I am fimiliar with Diabeties, but do not know how it would affect Fibro! I am sure a million different ways! If you don't mind me asking, what is Peripheral neuropathy??? Hoping you can find some help here since the holidays are nearly OVER! Missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 < I joined this group because I thought it was supposed to be a support group for those of us with FM/CFS. I sent an introduction some time ago. Then, I sent a post a couple of days ago. Not one single person responded. All these people writing about living in Texas, and no one even responded to the fact that I just moved here. I mentioned having fibro, CFS, diabetes, and peripheral neurophy and no one said anything to me about that. >> , I am so sorry. No one meant to ignore you. I have peripheral neurophy, diabetes (newly diagnosed) fibro, polyarthritis and tinnitus. All on this group have more than one problem. There have been discussions on diabetes. Jump in and give us your opinions on what is being discussed. I guess it's just a support group for people who already know each other. As if those of us with fibro, etc., didn't feel disconnected and isolated enough already. Actually we don't all know each other. We have had quite a few new members join us this last couple of weeks. I could not tell you who they are as they join in and start discussing or asking questions. I am very sorry that you feel we have ignored you. That is not so. We do not ignore anybody as we all need help. I am afraid I started the Texas thing as I was surprised to find so many from Texas on this list. I do apologize to you for making you feel that we are people that know each other and were ignoring you. We never ignore anybody on this list. What we have is to important to ignore anybody or help from anybody. If you have something to say, say it. More than likely, someone will have a response.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 < I go to a wonderful pain specialist who sent me to physical therapy for 3 months (I just finished my last appt yesterday), gives me VERY effective epidurals whenever I need them (I've had two in the last month and am scheduled for another next week), and prescribes my all pain medications, anti-spasmodics, osteoarthritis meds, antidepressants, etc. >> , I have had two epidurals one week apart and they helped me not at all. I am working with my doctor to see about pain clinic. Pain management. Have anyone here gone to a pain clinic and had good results.
