A WALK!!! Good for you!       05/18/04 02:04 PM Edit Reply Quote LauraSue Reged: 01/14/04 Posts: 4812 Loc: New York City And 5 minutes is like 5 miles for normals so that's GREAT!! I was diagnosed informally by my baby sister three years ago or so. She had it and got a confirmed diagnosis and told me it sounded like I might have it too. She got me a copy of the book by Devin Starlanyl and when I read the part about feeling like you got hit by a Mack truck in your sleep, I cracked up, because I'd been asking my hubby for years if he got the license plate of the truck that ran over me last night. So I figured my sister was right, I probably had it too. My official dx was March of last year. My doctor did the tender point thing and stuff and said, yup, you got it! But it wasn't until that fateful day in Tampa on business that I got REALLY sick. That was last April 25. So it's now been just over one year I've been living with this beastie. (Nice kitty, nice kitty, don't scratch Mama now!!) And yes, looking back I now think I've had it my whole life, just in milder form. I'm constantly thinking of things and saying, ohmigod that was due to the fibro. Like hating gym class. Like not being able to move after jogging. Like being sick for a month after a business trip to the Far East. Yeah, exactly the way you described. And no you're not being nosey! I love talking about myself, haven't you noticed??!! Especially to a captive audience, BWAHH HA HA HA HA!! (Is that how you spell the evil laugh? I can never remember.) Seriously, sweetie, ask me anything anytime. If I can help someone else even a little bit, it helps me too, so much you can't begin to imagine. I call it repaying the luck gods. Because even with all said and done, we're still (unfortunately and frustratingly) lucky that it isn't worse. Yeah I know, poop on that!!!!!! So what else ya wanna know? Am I still gorgeous? Heck, yeah!! At least on the days I have the energy to put on makeup!! -------------------- Laura Keep it simple! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
