I agree with you that attitude can make a big difference, but it doesn't always

work. I planned, and arranged things so I'd be able to go to a party last

night, but unfortunately, I woke up in the middle of the night with my colon

throwing a fit. Being positive that I was going to go, didn't make a hill of

beans to my colon. I gave myself permission to cry over missing something I had

*really* wanted to go to, and that worked. Today, I'm not worrying about the

missed party because that's now water over the dam, so I guess you can say that

today my attitude is I need to move on.

I agreed wholeheartedly . I come here to read about what has helped

others, not to read an unending list of symptoms which we all share.

I find that sharing ideas about what people have found helps them is

far healthier. I started reading here to see if there was anything

that has helped others that I could adapt to my own circumstances,

and soon found that support means different things to different

people. So I keep coming back from time to time to see if anyone is

happy, or if anyone has good news to share.

My good news is there are lots of fibromyalgia support groups, lots

of information on the internet about our bodies and how they work. I

hope everyone is learning, using their search engines and doing

something other than just being depressed and giving up? So with that

said, I will visit from time to time. I'm hoping you all have a

wonderful day with minimal pain, and stress.

I don't blame you for being angry you missed the party, I would be too. But the

fact that you did not dwell in that all day proved you have a grip on your

attitude

It's what they call an " associated " illness meaning those with fibro often

suffer

from it. I've suffered from it way before I developed fibro. It's usually

under

control as long as I obey certain rules (avoid spices, pepper, get fiber, etc.),

but

every once in a while, it pops up with it's own mind. Welcome to the group,

Hi, Vonn here. In response to ATTITUDE, what you said is correct

about the positiveness we should have. But I throughly disagree with

you about this site.

People with health challenges need a place to vent, and I don't take

it negatively because the response you receive from venting is very

positive and up lifting. God made all of us diferent and we shouldn't

have short patience with others, whom you think should mirror

yourself. Everyone deals with pain differently and I don't think you

should make such a judgement about this site.

We can't vent to our family and friends because half the time they

don't think we're sick. Also, there are people in this group that

have a lot to deal with, some more than others, so please give them a

break.

I think this group is wonderful and very informative.

Peace and Blessings

Vonn and Dana, I'm with you, there are just some days that I don't want

to be positive, I'm sick of trying to be positive, I need to be pissed

or vent. Sometimes being positive just doesn't work for me and no

matter how positive I try to be I am in servere pain.

But if it works for others, thats wonderful, I am very happy that you

can find something that does bring you relief.

Thought some folks here may benefit from this!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on

life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more

important than the past, than education, than money, than

circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people

think or say or do. It is more important than appearance,

giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a

church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every

day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot

change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in

a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we

can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our

attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and

90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of

our Attitudes.
