Hi, I'm new to forums and have never discussed my illnesses with strangers before. I am so alone with my new diagnosis of FM from a rheumatologist. I have been suffering for years and put it down to arthritis. My GP is too busy, my husband thinks it's just pain so take a pill, my friends are dropping off one by one as I am no longer fun to be with. I have just read about a link with wheat/gluten intolerance and I am astounded. Who do I talk to that I won't bore with my ailments?
Your not alone! Welcome aboard!
Wait.....should I say that? Like its some ship we all walk on to?
I wanted to tell you," your not lazy, your not boring, and your not useless. Turn this ship around ( Now ! Look for the positive in anything you can.) I have 3 little doggies they consume me, but I enjoy animals. They give me unconditional love. I'm a careing person, so I try to help any way I can, even if its just to offer up a tall glass of Ice tea, water, or lemonaid. I look around my house and think.....ok whats my top priority. The dirty bathroom? Days I can clean top to bottom, other days, I just get the toilet clean, or maybe the tub.
You get what Im trying to say?
In a nutshell,,,,dont let others, or worse yet, yourself, get you down.
If I can encourage you please let me know. You can private message me any time. I usually check my mail every day.
