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, Sandi2
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
{{{Sandi}}} Um..yeah..you are totally sweet and anyone who would debate that would need to come and talk to me
Sandi, tho I work for a dr's office, sometimes they can be really closed minded about some certain things, for example a lot of drs still don't believe in any herbal remedies or other alt medicine, like massages or chiropractic or anything like that..so if you have one doctor that doesn't listen, find ANOTHER..YOU are worth it!

Tawnya, my sweetie-pie, God certainly gave you the gift of encouragement. I have once again been down from Friday evening though this morning, but I think I am going to try to make it in to work today. It was really bad this time and I am getting down about not having any weekends that I'm not sick. But, then I can always see others a lot worse off than I am. I am very grateful to have a job during this economical crisis and at least the flares are coming on the weekends instead of in the middle of the week!
Right now, I have a good doctor for the Fibromyalgia. He is giving me all that he can, it just doesn't stop it.......only help to manage the pain.
I've been meaning to come by your thread and just say hi, but I have been hearing you on other people's posts. You know when I go two or three days that I'm not posting much that I'm down....lol.
Guess I better get ready for work. Hope you have a good day.

Aww {{{Sandi}}} I think you also have that encouragement gift..you have encouraged me 85000 times and counting
Ugh I hate so much (love that I'm not saying I'm sorry thanks to YOU)..that you are down like that..man you don't deserve that..and I wish I knew something to help you with it..did you end up heading into work?
Thanks for thinking of me, even if you didn't stop by to say hi..it means a lot and know that I'm thinking of you too my sweetie

Another weekend and things seem to be the same as far as my physical problems go. I missed my little GD's dance program today. It breaks my heart that I am laid up every weekend, but I keep hoping that it will get better.
Anyway, everything else is about the same, which is not a bad thing! It has been a very slow journey and that is why I keep telling so many people that when the WAW feels that she has lost all of what she ever felt, the H must be......has to be,.....so very, very patient for her to have that time to deal with what she has to deal with. If only my H had had the DBing techinques, it would have helped. But thank God, I found this board and the people who brougth me back to sanity.
I know my thread is slow moving b/c there is not much for me to post about my life and I spend most of my time reaching out to others, but if it locks up, I'll start another thread just so you guys can find me if you need me.
Love you all, Sandi

First of all, really sorry it has been so long. You are always in my prayers though.
Second of all, sorry that I only have 2 minutes now.
Things going well with me. Really Really Really well. Daughter is wonderful. Wife is very loving (very very very). Physical side of the love is better than it ever was. I am keeping my weight off. Applying for new jobs at the moment. Possibly going back to Japan.
Thank you Sandi, I could not have got here without your help or any of the others. I hope my story is helping others, and as soon as my life settles down some, I do plan to spend a bit of time here to try and help out.
If you see any others please tell them I am doing well!
One note.
OM tried to contact W a couple of weeks ago, asking for photos of her and the baby. W finally let me handle it. We wrote a reply together. Signed my me. Not heard anything since!!
Take care!
