    True hell waking up in the morning

    Oh @vickythecat I sure hope my reply did not come across as attacking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In NO WAY did I take offense to what you said about being jealous of people that can do things. Sadly, I HAVE to work, so it necessary for me to keep on moving (and acting like nothing is wrong). I...

    I was afraid you were going to say that (gluten is bad)! The thought of doing ANY diet at this point is more than I can handle. I cope with stress by eating, and dieting (or cutting out things I love (carbs), just adds more stress. :-(

    So I have a question... I understand that diet (gluten especially) can help somewhat, but it is the FIRST thing that people tell me I should change. These are people who do NOT have fibro. What do I tell them?

    True hell waking up in the morning

    As for the shaking, let me tell you one problem I have had. I don't know if you guys are on meds, but I take Lyrica. I honestly don't know if it is even helping me. Well at the beginning of the year I started getting the shakes. I would especially notice it when I was eating or bringing a...

    Thank you Brenda K... I sooooo know what you mean. I just say "I'm fine" all the time. But sometimes when I'm really bad, all they have to do is look at me and know that I'm not doing well. My sisters were visiting this past weekend (one from CA, one from KY) for my mom's 97th birthday...

    Thank you for your reply Tipnatee N!! I know it takes time for a NEWBIE to get accepted into a forum and to start communications. I don't know why I have resisted so long. Like you, I seem to survive during times that are extremely stressful, and get that adrenaline rush like you suggest...
