Me too Jess! kicking.gif

Ok I'm half dressed in snow gear and professional gear for the Borah Symposium. I'm taking the rest of my professional clothes in a garment bag because of the snow outside. Fun Fun! I've got my snow boots on and I'm almost ready to trek through the snow and the muck. Lovely.



Good Luck!

I'm not quite sure how to post pics either, but I would give you a basket full of baby lotions and notions.
And I love giving little outfits from new born size up to 9 months. And I would bring a delicous Cheese Struddle from Papa's bakery, as long as i can keep my husband away from it! Oh I'm so excited for you girl! Can't wait to see the pics of him!

I tried to respond before but I think the post was eaten by my touchy laptop...

My mom has struggled with Fibromyalgia for over a decade. She has a host of autoimmune disorders but certain symptoms didn't fit certain other diseases. In her case, as with many many people, FMis diagnosed by when all other tests/scans/diagnosis lead to dead ends. Fibromyalgia for many years had no definitive test - still doesn't. Unlike some other disorders, there is no blood test or scan that proves you have it and I think that's where it can get fuzzy with respect to the law. If there isn't a scientifically proven test that has real data behind it, maybe the disease really doesn't exist or even if it does exist how do you know person X has it etc etc etc...

That being said - when living with someone with the disease it's easy to see how absolutely devastating it can be. Simple daily chores become crazy hard. For my mom, she would literally "stiffen" when she'd flare up, unable to move without immense pain.

There may be a connection between depression and anxiety and FM but it may be a chicken/egg - which came first - kind of arguement. Some people respond really well to cymbalta/lyrica or other drugs with SSRI components. A lot of people associate SSRIs with anti-depressive drugs [which they are too] but most people don't realize that the majority of the serotonin in the body is in and around the digestive tract - not in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter but you have nerve endings everywhere...Other people do fabulous with one of the decongestants - I forget the name, it was one of the active ingredients in robitussin for years but then got off the market [probably because the pharm co involved wanted to study it to become a script drug for treating FM and/or similar diseases].



I too have struggled for years (over a decade now) with Fibrolyalgia. Its not a fun illness. In fact, its something that u can't see. Only feel. So many people and doctors will tell you it all in your head. I haven't been able to find anything that helps. I am scared to try the newer drugs that have come out because of side effects. And i really feel bad for anyone who is living with this delibiltating disease.
Humpkin - my heart goes out to you - it's a rough road trying to deal with FM but it can be managable. My mom now goes months/years without flare ups and when they do occur she has a method for dealing...
