And as far as you thinking i havnt been "there" i have so i do know what i'm speaking about thats why i said "wow 8"

and for the record I hope that you werent referring to MY PM to you because i never said anything of the sort.

Baja, sorry about your ankle that sounds so painful and hope it improves

Doubtful my dear, doubtful...thats not being negative, its reality!!, the broken leg and knee is the worst, and with that also, maybe with some of the weight going away, some relief may be seen!!!

Fingers crossed, and maybe someday legs crossed!!!

And the Dr prescribed up to 12 Norco (vicodin) a day!! yikes

If it lasted forever, I would still be at my dream job and wouldn't know how to spell fibromyalgia.

But I'm not gonna cry....

My OXY Rx is only for 30 days. Don't know what I'll do after. It's only to get me through the pain til I have hernia surgery. Doc wants me to lose more weight for better healing and less recurrence chance.

I'm glad... heck, you are too, that you were finally properly diagnosed. No tears.

I think my mother suffered from it too, but back then the docs all told you "it's all in your head". She's in her 80's now and everything hurts. The fibro word never made it out of any docs mouth, but she's on strong daily meds anyway. It helps.

You're right. Knowing is so much better than going from specialist to specialist and not knowing what's wrong with you and thinking you may never know. Still, if it had just laid dormant forever, I'd be a lot happier. Your mom has lived a long time with it so I know it won't kill me. Actually, I've heard a few doctors say "Having fibromyalgia won't kill you, it'll just make you wish you were dead."

Still.. proper diet, exercise, and medication and I think I can get through this and get back to work.
