Within the last 10 years, I've been through perimenopause, having my thyroid removed, diagnosed with anxiety and depression, fibromyalgia, CFS AND I lost my job on 9/11.
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
I am now in the throes of going through obtaining disability insurance.Let's add this to the souffle..might as well make sure that the load goes from tremendous to, oh, carrying around 6 bowling balls on your shoulders...in metal spiked shoulder pads!
Just when I think, what else can go wrong, it does...it being, oh, just going off Vicodin cold turkey...that's a whole epistle in itself.....Vicodin being prescribed by my fibro Dr. who sais that 4 a day would do the trick! Yup..oh, and by the way, you MAY get dependent on it. Nooooo! I'm on antidepressants too...ya think this may screw up my system, oh, let's say, just a tad?
I woke up Sat. morning diggin my nails into my upper arm..thank God for Dermablend, neutral being my shade of choice for the lovely fuschia, lilac colors being masked as we speak. Luckily, the bruises and the memories of these past few weeks will be gone by the time we go to a friend's wedding on Sat. I would rather LIMP AND SLITHER in pain there than to go through what I just did. Well, my doctor was puzzled...just what problems did I have with Vicodin, when I called to tell her all I was doing was sleeping and crying.....perhaps it may have to do with the fact that it's another form of heroin.....and this doctor knew I was under psychiatric care for depression, anxiety, bi-polar, no-polar, manic, un-manic depression, ad nauseum. Trying to find an answer to THAT question is another story in itself.
So, here I am...Gracie from CT...at 55, I am a work in progress. I learn, I burn, I cut, I bleed, perhaps just to know I'm still alive and care to be.
Dealing with a verbally abusive mother and husband is not helping the healing process, by the by. But because I don't "work"...ha...running a home, 3 dogs, 2 moms, and 1 husband, not necessarily in that order isn't working, by the way, in case you were wondering. We're all wallowing in pity, and aren't contributing financially. We're on the bottom of the food list, it seems. But because I have all this time to jog and lift weights, I also have time to read..and reading about fibro, depression and emotional and verbal abuse has been the best thing I could do for myself recently. It's given me some of my strength back. The fear is gone. What am I scared of? That I will be rejected? My body has already done that to me, and I'm not allowing it, so why should I allow others to add to it?
I exercise when I can, love the Grove Fibroyoga, wake up thanking God when I actually want to get up out of bed, much less start living my life for that day. What tomorrow brings, I'm as ready as I'll ever be. With God's help, I may not have everything I want, but everything I need...thank you, Rolling Stones for that one.
I'd love to hear from some of you. Isolation is one thing we all feel when we're going through our "organ recitals".
Peace and health.

Hi Grace,
Thank you for being faithful to the Fibroga. It will help you fight back. I would highly recommend that you go on AMAZON and purchasing PAIN FREE 1 2 3 by Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum. He works with those "non addictive" ha ha drugs and all the right things that you should be doing. Diet is so critical and if you do not have a good handle on that you may call me at any time at my toll free number 888-774-7007 to talk about it. There are trigger foods that cause us pain and you need to get off of granulated sugars, wheat bread, white bleached flour, and more. I sure would love to get to know you and I am here when you feel alone. IT is truly amazing to me how we have all been through such similar situations!! We can talk about those stories or "soap operahs" when you call me.Hope, Peace and Joy and surround yourself with hopeful, peaceful and joyful people. Push back the negative!!!
Sincerely,
Karen Grove
