    Hi Jemini:

    I am with you girl !!! The struggles & pain, one good day then several bad. A lot people especially at work Won't get you nor do they want to. All you can do is the Best you can, plus screaming somewhere that no one will think you gone Mad would be a Awesome destressor... Well, that's my two cents & I am sticking to it.

    Now go & enjoy your weekend as Best ad you are able.

    Smile & giggles... Valerie826

    Hi Jemini,

    It's a good job we're able to moan here, thankfully there is more and more evidence coming to light in the medical world so that at least now when I see someone in that profession I'm no longer treated as if it's all in my head. Bad enough when my nearest and dearest thought it, of course it did help when he found out that a family friend (he called Aunty) who he'd been told had arthritis had actually been suffering from fybro.

    It's a very stressful time for you jemini, but the stress is just soo bad for making Fibro symptoms much worse..we can all attest to that...such a vicious circle this is......hang on tight, soon you will hear the right diagnosis, I celebrated when I got mine..it wasn't all in my head after all....this is going back over 20 years now....but probably had a long time before that..really feeling for you...be blessed..have a lovely day..:-) xxxxx

    Once when I was having a really bad time my doc said: do you have a room or somewhere you go and have a good scream..well I had a walk-in wardrobe in our bedroom, it was a tri level house so this wardrobe was basically was at the centre of the house in the first floor... I thought no one could hear me...well I walked in sat down and just screaned away..my 3  girls heard me and were quite worried...apart from the girls being frightened it was really good for me ...so I started going to local football and just screamed away..with everyone else the .,dr said it's really good for us to scream it out when when we need to..lol. I don't have that problem anymore..things do get better jemini as we go on we find ways of coping..,

      Thanks Christine, I'm a rugby girl so i do get to have a good scream sometimes. I usually resist the moaning but it all got on top of me this week. This site is a godsend, somewhere that people understand and don't judge. Had to cancel another trip today as not up to it but hopefully the sun will shine and i can chill out in the garden.

      Thanks Bron, you've been through so much. Just to let you know it means so much to be able to go to this site and have wonderful people like you for support. Doctors won't refer me at the moment to Rheumatologist. Went through 3 years of blood tests and a lot of head shaking from docs to finally get a diagnoses and then 1 blood test showed anaemia, aha something they can understand and treat, so now i have to wait 3 months on iron tablets before they'll confirm fibro. This week i have been the worse i have ever been,body and brain packed up. but like i said, it could be worse xxx

      Evening Jemini;  Don't ever feel that you should be made to think that "others are worse off than you....or it could be worse".....yes it could be worse....but each person has their own issues, and each has to deal with them.....yes we all suffer the same condition, but we all also, too, had to work through as you are doing now....and believe me, there are Plenty of times (such as when another part of our body goes), then the "old sense of feeling like s..."  comes back, and we have the same feelings that you have now.....we are all an individual, and all have our own probs, so please don't feel you have to be "brave"....you can't, and it is the same feelings that a Terminally ill person has to go through....it's grieving for what we have lost, and the same process of Anger, Frustration and the questions of "why".....the more that you open up,, talk re your "pain"etc....will help you to Accept......till next time.......Bron
