hi folks
i was suprised and not suprised really how puss says about high suicide rate
i must admit when ive had the endless head pain ive felt right at rock bottom,
its the kids that keep me going and now hubbys been so much more help and caring, its helped too,
but hasnt got rid of pain
i went to docs this week again as they stopped me having tramadol , tho i proved its not them taht caused headpain as they thought,
well doc gave me codipar, its codeine and paracetamol, mixed, not nice really, you feel reall weird,
anyways it helped a bit,as mondya i was a bendy wreck, my hip and back of knee kept going from underme, and still got pain in right shoulder feels like i bin shot there,
take care of yourselves you lovely lot
keep warm, and plenty of cuppas and chockie

Hi Pam, I too have that pain in the rear region lol, it is a pain in the backside, like you say, literally, it runs into each buttock and then across to both hips and then down the legs.

I have osteo all over me, but especially bad in my feet.

Hi all,
I've had FM for years but didn't know what it was till last year when hospital finally diagnosed it. I don't think I've come to terms with yet, as I was hoping that when they found out what was wrong they'd be able to 'cure it' (ha ha). I know how you feel about the pains. lack of sleep etc it's a real pain in the a***e (literally!!)
I also have a crumbling spine to cope with, and have a metal plate holding the lower part together, and I've recently been told I've got Osteoporosis too. I keep telling hubby to have me put to sleep at the vets as I feel so useless I could go on about it for ages, but it wouldn't do any good.
I hope that you all have a fairly pain free night, and hope to talk to you all again sometime.

Pam

I thought I'd rake this thread up so as not to clutter the boards with my moans.

I feel dreadful today. I ache all over, my body is exhausted, I want to sleep but I can't, I never seem to sleep well at all these days. I have shooting pains in may arms, hands and fingers.

Sorry to moan on but I really do feel ill. people who don't have this illness really don't have any idea how dreadful it makes you feel, especially when you only look a bit tired, they don't understand how awful the pain can be at times.
I expect I'm just in a depressive mood because it's January.

I hope you all feel well.

Hugs to everyone suffering with fm right now. My shoulders have been bad but I think it is to do with my heavy shoulder bag and carting shopping around.
Hope the pain goes over Christmas so you can enjoy yourselves.

oh help asked hubby something tonight and he just looked at me and said I answered you last time you asked me that, I have no recollection of asking him it but he says I have asked him the same thing 5 times today.

He told me off this afternoon as we went out to get a few bits and the two most important ones I forgot, he told me he cant help me if I dont write a list or tell him what we are going for.

if you count you temper as a candle mine has run out as I fly off the handle at the smallest thing.

He asked me tonight why I havent taken all my meds this week simple I cant remember to take them at the right time and rather than risk taking them too close I try and struggle without, this is with putting them in a pill reminder box.

Is there any hope?

Am waiting for the day when I forget to get drewssed and go out in a right state
