denial

Well, here it is three days before Christmas, and I am desperate for a little human understanding - I have my Schnauzers and Chihuahua to provide creature comfort, it does help, but it isn't the same. I swore I wouldn't do this until after Christmas, because it just doesn't seem to be in the...

Hello all, I have been diagnosed with Osteoporosis, Fibro, Asthma, arthritis, chronic fatigue, and lower back issues! I'm just so frustrated, because for the last year they have been monitoring me for MS as well! I'm tired of being in pain, being tired, dealing with SS waiting on a hearing...

I am recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I was a fairly active person before and am currently in denial. I have rode Ragbrai 4 times, I hiked rim to rim at The Grand Canyon, I like to ski, snowshoe, hike, bike, walk and am really pissed at this diagnosis! I walked with my husband Saturday...

I have Fibromyalgia which gives you balance problems sometimes. Once I was walking from my office to a grocery store for lunch, tripped on NOTHING, landed flat on my face and guess where I was? In front of a liquor store! Bet that looked real cute! Then there was the time I tripped on...

Hi everyone. I am new to the Forum and am wondering about whether extreme fatigue is normal in PALS. My husband was Dx in 9/08 (Bulbar Onset), and he has been on Rilutek ever since. His decline has been slow and steady...with increasing fatigue, muscle soreness, etc. However, beginning only a...

I joined this group in October and have been reading your posts, almost daily, since then. This is my first post. Due to the fact that the medical community seems to have so few answers I find the antecdotal information on this site very helpful. This is my story: In the middle of August, 2006...
