Hi Sherrine, sorry I haven't been posting much. Levees are still holding where I am but we have lost a lot of homes here in Bismarck to the flooding. No lives lost thank God. So sad to see so many...
Hi Hope, you should have this checked out by your dr. You might have had a heart attack. My doctor told me to come in immediately if it felt like someone was pushing on my chest. Please let us know...
Oh Kathy that was almost like reading something I wrote. We were down to 3, me, my husband, and our youngest son who just graduated in May. In April my oldest son and his girlfriend and my almost 3...

Just wanted you to know that I am so sorry for all that you are going through right now. I have my almost 3 year old grandson living here right now and I would be heart broken if my son and...
Hi Harley just wanted to welcome you to our fibro family, we have alot of great and supportive people in this forum. Sorry you have to be in here with us along with the other medical issues you...
Dear Robin, I get times like this too and like you I know that it will pass but don't like when I feel that way. I think it is our brains way of saying we can't always be wonder woman or Super man....
Hi 1in9, just want you to know that my husband was full time Army for 3 years and then in the National Guard for 21 years. He was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1999. We applied for the VA...
Hi 1in9 if you feel you need to leave the military due to the pain you are suffering you should be able to go out on a medical disability which is also going to allow you to get Veteran's Benefits....
Thanks again Robin, I love reading your poems. Gentle Hugs Shirley...
I will check with my dr. Sherrine thanks for the info. Moonsinger I know that you are right about the allergies its just frustrating being as I can't tolerate oral pain meds so the fentanyl patch is...
I definitely can relate Robin, my old internal medicine dr. used to tell me that if anything strange was going to happen to his patients it would be me that it happened too. lol I am so glad that the...
Sherrine, yes it is an adhesive ad that could be what I'm allergic too now. Seems weird too become allergic to something after using it for over 2 years already. I love you all more than I can...
LOL I might just take you up on that Donna. Gentle Hugs Shirley...
Donna thank you so much for the laugh. Whenever Im feeling low I know I can count on either you or Robin to bring me back up. Love you my friend. Gentle Hugs Shirley...
I just want to thank all of you for your love and prayers, they mean so much to me. They are saying the levee that protects us has a good chance of holding it and they have people watching it 24...
That was beautiful Robin, thank you. Sorry I haven't been commenting much but we are having major flooding in Bismarck right now so I have been trying to keep up with that. They have put up levees so...
Hi hope, a few years back I was with my son when he got into a car accident. I felt fine at the time of the accident and even walked home from it. The next day I woke up with extreme back pain. Ended...
Hi Mystic Rose and welcome to our fibro family, We really do have an awesome group here. If one of us isnt up to replying there are always others who will jump in. Feel free to ask questions, vent...
I have to agree with angel and myself09, magnesium has been my wonder cure. I used to get muscle spasms in my legs and feet almost every night. Since I have been taking magnesium I very rarely have...
51 here and I believe I have had fibro since I was about 10 years old. Didn't get diagnosed though until I was 40. Keeping fingers crossed here but I think I have experienced almost everything fibro...

Hi Belle and welcme to our fibro family, We have a lot of great people here and our mods here are wonderful. A couple of tests that you might want your dr. to do is have them check your vitamin B and...
Sherrine is right I am not a dr. just wanted to know as a way of ruling out ms. but it is in no way a diagnosis of MS. He really does need to see a specialist and please keep us updated as to what...
Ransomed as far as what kind of doctor he should see I suggest a neurologist or a Rheumatologist. If he needs surgery then he would see a neurosurgeon but first you will need a diagnosis. I have a...
I dont think so but not sure. I have only heard of MRI's being done for MS. I could be wrong on it being MS I am not a dr. Just think there is definitely something wrong. I hope you find a Dr. who is...
Hi Mrsyecker and welcome to our fibro family, so sorry for the loss of your grandpa. It is so hard to lose someone we love. There is always that emptiness that cant be replaced. I get comfort from my...
Hi Ransomed, I agree with Deb it is definitely time for a second opinion. He needs to have an MRI done to rule out Multiple Sclerosis for sure. My Husband has MS and some of what you wrote sounds...

Hi Robin, Im sorry you are having to wait on this. I am praying that this means it is good news. Keep your chin up my brave friend you have faced so much head on and you can do this too but hopefully...
