Misunderstandings happen. Do they happen more when one has Fibro? I'm hesitant to even mention this wondering if it will be taken out of context. It just seems to me that a number of people must read into words or comments things that are not there or at least not intended to be mean or hurtful...

I appreciate the votes of confidence in PM's and I think nothing will change if questions go unanswered, I have no idea who is in charge of making chat available and I wonder how many would participate if chat was available? Back to my other post about " metaphors..." etc. I sometimes think...

I think of my self as the new Dr NO!

Don't know if what I think about based on what I experience and or observe has anything at all to do with Fibro. That said my mind races when I experience things that I am not sure if others experience at all. I've really been struggling of late with the changes in the health care system and I...

I might as well toot my own horn about this paper I wrote in 8th grade science class. The assignment was to " use your head and come up with something new and all your idea " I wrote my paper on using one disease to cure another. I got a D on my paper. The teacher said that adding an illness of...

A girl falls out of a tree and is cured of her illness. A person get's dental work and then hears radio transmissions. I fell down a flight of steps when my back was out and got up without pain. If any of these stories are true ( mine is ) doesn't it make you wonder what other off the wall...

There will be a test at the end of the chapter. HA!

I was lost and now I'm found! It had to be uploaded with the right buttons pressed....just like life....you always have to hit the right buttons to get what you...

Thank you Richard for sharing your knowledge, experiences, and beliefs. As you mentioned, often we need to be open to all that is available and find the right recipe that works for us. It seems to me that the fibro people who share their thoughts on this forum seeming willing to ask, to listen...

Hi again Diamond, I didn't see that you named someone else in your post I thought it was something that I said. In any event people can disagree and they do. How you take it is sometimes a choice and other times it is a reaction. Speaking for myself I know that sometimes I react one way and...

I'm responding without reading more closely because it seems that you were apologizing for something. I didn't take ANYONE'S post as negative in any way and I'm sorry if I gave that impression. Want to hit send and go back and read again

Thanks CC, What would I do without TT?

Although I started suspecting the gabaP, yesterday I was told that it is probably responsible for my vision problems. I started cutting back a few days ago and noticed that as my vision got better my pain got worse. But given the choice I rather deal with my pain until I can find something to...

I just discovered these replies today. I appreciate them all and that you find it worthy of commenting on. More time is needed for me to enjoy what each of you wrote and I will make that time later; perhaps even today. A woman who I classified as one of my best friends wrote to me recently and...

"So what do you think about going to the ER? " I've been working on a " letter to the editor " piece with my thoughts about the current state of " health care " and " medicine " focusing specifically on the " Go to the ER " mentality and why IT is a great part symptomatic of high costs for...
