    So sorry all this is happening to you. But, glad u posted, it's nice to see u posting again!

    Most of my life, that I can remember I haven't felt well physically. Sometimes I feel judged by others that don't understand. Even I don't understand, but it doesn't help for others to respong in judgemental ways.

    Just wondering since some of ur "friends" seem to doubt u & not understand, u might ask ur dr. about support grps.

    Many hugs to ya!

    Just keep in mind that we are all thinking about you. I would like to suggest accupuncture if you can get it. And PT. I have also heard that some use Prozac to control the pain.

    My heart goes out to you. I can't imagine what you are going through on a daily basis just to survive. But I am here for you if you want to talk.
    I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.

    So sorry you're going through this, LT. As for the people who doubt you, you're better off without them. Your true friends believe and sympathize with you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

    {{{hugs}}} I do know what it feels like to have people say and think that it is all in your head, or you are faking. Sometimes that hurts more then any physical thing, or well at least it seems that way.

    I am truly sorry for everything you are going through, along with the other bbsers here going through some of the same stuff. {{{Hugs}}}

    Ladytiger,
    I have FM also and just had my thyroid removed six months ago. I've been dealing with FM for over 8 years now. I take a prescribed medicine that has worked for me for over 4 years now. Before I started using it I would have to lay in bed until after 12 or 1 in the afternoon and then I would still be in pain. The medicine that I'm on has given me my life back. If you would like to know more about you can email me a_mizell@hotmail.com The medicine is addicting just like the pain pills that a lot of people take, but I would much rather take it than be in pain. I tried everything from A to Z before I started going to the wonderful doctor that I'm going to now. Also, my friends would get mad at me when I didn't feel like going with them. It hurt so much when people would think I was faking it. I have been told so many times "why do you feel bad you don't look bad" if I had a dime for everytime I heard that I would be so rich! It took me a long time to come to terms with my illness, but I have and now I feel so much better about myself. It also helps to have a husband and son that understands and is there to help. My first husband always told me I was just wanting attention and he told everyone else I was faking. The best thing I ever did in my life was make him my ex. I'm so much better off now since I don't have to put up with all the negative remarks from him. Just hang in there, it may seem like things won't get any better but they will and it's not to far off. I hope you get to feeling better and email if you would like.

    Is there a support group near you that you could join? That might help some.
