Fibromyalgia Group ( FMS)

One of the reasons I am having a hard time with this group is because I have been reading the book, "A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life's Purpose" by Eckhart Tolle.
Although this group is a great place to bounce off ideas and to learn from each other, it is also a place that creates the contiuum of pain-body experience.
We are not in the present moment when our pain bodies feed off of each other. We all identify with our pain bodies. If you go out and get a copy of this book, maybe would could discuss it here. I trying to attain more spirituality here. I don't want to make others angry. That would be your ego talking. I want to help others to be more at peace with whatever is going on. I come from a holistic studies background-the cococnut massages, shiatsu,etc.
Because I have been depressed, I am trying to work on me. Then I can help others. I just recommend reading the book.

I know I should get spanked because I haven't been online and with
you guy's. Today I have just been toying away at learning how
to post (copy and paste) pictures. Billie has been an angel to be so
patient enough to help me, after what she is going through and still
she can stop and help some one to learn something brand new. I
have not post on a group, but Billie says it's the same as the way I
sent her ,via PM....There is nothing in nature as beautiful as Color,
so even though this isn't the best of all Butterflies, it is so amazing.
Just like US!!!!!

I am having a panic attack, how to see reply?

Love and Hugs,
Me

This is beautiful, if I can get it to come thru.

See first reply.

My body was having all kinds of spasums. I shook from head to toe. I'd just about fall to sleep and then the shaking would start again. It's suppose to rain here today and I can tell it. I hurt all over and I am tired. I hate when I have those kind of nights. I wanted to get started on painting my kitchen cabinets. But it doesn't look like I am going to get to do that today.
I found a good paint color. It is a really light taupe. It's almost white. It is going to be the ticket in brightening things up. Right now the cabinets are a dark burgandy. It is almost maroon. Got a new faucet for the sink and hubby put it on. No more buckets under the sink or going to the bathtub to fill dishpans. Yeah!
Main TV went on the fritz last night. Have to watch the one in the bedroom. Have a big whole in the garage door that dog dug. So that needs to be replaced. What else is going to go wrong? It is never ending. If the economy was better, I would just go get a home improve it loan and start all over. But that aint going to happen.
Well, hope everyone else has a better Tuesday. Hugs, Irish

Have you ever gone to your doctor concerned about some new symptom, only to be told "It's just part of your fibromyalgia?"

We all know that fibromyalgia (FMS) symptoms are a bizarre conglomeration of things that cover pretty much every part of your body, and a lot of the time that new symptom is a part of FMS. Sometimes, though, it's not - and allowing your doctor to write off everything as "just fibro" can be hazardous to your health.

I recently talked to a fellow fibromite who'd had her symptoms blown off that way, and as a results, another disease was able to progress undetected. By the time it was diagnosed, it was far harder to treat and may have done permanent damage.

I'm telling you this not to scare you ... well, OK, it's a little bit to scare you, because I want you to push your doctor to look deeper into new symptoms and not give up when he or she tries to blow you off. If anyone knows their bodies, it's us! Really, do you know anyone else who can be awakened by even the slightest wrinkle in a bedsheet? We feel everything more than most people, so if you think something new is going on your body, pay attention.

Sure, the first nine times it might just be another fibromyalgia symptom rearing its ugly head, but the 10th time you demand a closer look, it could save your life.

Here are some examples of possible fibromyalgia symptoms that warrant a closer look:
* Chest pain
* Irregular heart beat
* Lumps in your breasts
* Shortness of breath
* New or worsening allergies or sensitivities
* Sudden or worsening confusion or disorientation

I know about ACs going out. Unfortunately our home is a rent and the wiring in here tends to trip the breaker if one or more things run. Quite frustrating. I am dressing cool and have raised some windows. NEED PRAYERS. Thanks Cheryl

Well, here I am right back into my old routine and starting back with the pain and exhaustion which I did not miss at all while in alabama. I think I have discovered the whole problem with me. I will sum it all up in one word "COMPUTER", yes that is right. While in bama I did not have a computer to get on each and every night so I was in bed by 10 and no later than 11 pm and I felt better last week than I have in quiet a while. I took a nap several days and did not try and over do everything. Now I am back to staying up till 1 am and not getting the sleep that I should be getting.
I have decided to try very hard to be in bed no later than 11:00 pm on tuesday night and hopefully the next couple nights after that and then see if what I am suspecting is true. Does anyone else do this and think that maybe this might be what is making their pain and fatigue worse. Take care my good friends and God Bless you all. I hope that you all have a Blessed night tonight and a Blessed Day tomorrow.

My AC just came back ON and I am about to do a dance. Makes me realize not to take things too much for granted. Cheryl

Dear Friends,
Shortly after I was invited to join this group, I read more and talked to my doctor and have decided I do not have fibro.
I have recently been diagnosed with an accoustic neuroma in one ear and endolymphatic hydrops in the other. I am receiving treatment and the tumor will be removed in time. We are just watching it for now.
I have enjoyed reading your posts because this group has so much courage despite the pain that I know you are all feeling. Laughter does help.
I will see some of you on other sites.
God Bless you all!!

Please continue to keep my mother in your thoughts and especially in your prayers. It is not looking good. She went to her first app't with the cancer dr. and my sister who always keeps herself thinking positive told me that she did not leave this dr.'s office feeling good. He did not talk like things were good at all. She has a colonoscopy & and endoscpoy on the 18th and then on the 22nd they are going to do a PETScan on her. I had never heard of this but checked it out and it is a scan of the whole body and can tell them what really is going on. He did tell her that if it was a certain thing which neither of them (sister or mom) remember, anyway, said that if it was this something it was only a 25% chance and that is not very good odds. I will be so glad when she goes back after all this and finds out something for sure. She is really trying hard to be positive but I know it is hard when facing this kind of thing and I have cried about it all day. I am now turning it over to God as he controls it all. I just pray that if it is something terrible like this that God goes ahead and takes her quickly as I know she is a child of God's and will be going home to be with him and daddy will be there waiting for her hand. Please, do remember mom in your prayers. I will let you all know what happens when we know. Thank you all for always being there for me when I need you all so much.
