Sandi's in Piecing and it's getting better

[sandi2]

Thanks for your post Sandy. I don't know about me being sweet.....some folks on here my debate you about that....lol.

I understand what you mean about the health issues, but you know, I think it is the things in our food that has a lot to do with this generation and the next one being so sickly. We just don't seem to be the strong "stock" that our grandparents were. My grandparents lived to ripe old ages, and my mother is 83 and the healthest one in the family!

I went to my Fibromyalgia doctor today and he was so excited b/c he had been to a meeting in New York and finally there is an experimental drug that is going to be out for Fibromyalgia. I don't know if I will be able to take it, but maybe. It is not a cure, but it is suppose to help with the problems. So....here's hoping. If it has the pharmacies attention, then it will get some of those doctors that don't "believe" in it b/c they will start to lose patients if they don't treat them for it. It is getting to be a serious wide-spread problem! My doctor thinks it is inherited, but I personally (doctor Sandi, here) think it is due to living under high levels of stress without any let up for a long period of time. He says that children can even show early signs and that doctors who deny that it is real, are doing surgeries on preteen and early teenage girls, that do not need it. I had one surgery that I did not need and the doctor would not tell me afterwards until I backed him up in a corner and he had to admit he did not find anything when he opened me up. That was right before I was diagnosed.

Oh, listen at me going on & on. I guess I was excited after hearing about a new medicine coming out.

As far as my stitch, I think I gave the link on my first page. Maybe it was the last thread that locked, I haven't checked and can't remember right now, but I have it somewhere if you really want to read about when I first came on the board.

Thanks for dropping by. I appreciate it.

Take care,
