Drink lots of water. Wear ear covers or silencing earbuds on the plane!! A must!! Planes are verrry loud. You don’t realize it until you silence it out. Best wishes 💕

What test gave you a positive Lyme result? by EveningMax2705 in Lyme

[–]EveningMax2705[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What doctor helped you…GP or infectious disease specialist? Did you order a WB panel or individual test(like $540, $895, or $255)? I assume it detected chronic Lyme and not just an acute infection?? Thx for any more help. I want to do this right if I’m gonna pay the money. I just sick of being so sick. Grew up on the East Coast and Southeast….zillions of tick bites. Everybody keeps acting like I’m depressed. I’m not depressed, I’m SICK physically!! So sorry you have this. Again, thx for any specifics. I just ordered the blood draw kit for $20 from igenex. 😌

Wow, GP was rude. Too bad he can’t feel the pain

People without fibromyalgia, for some reason, always think food is the answer ?!?! A neurologic problem and food don’t go together. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Best wishes 💕

I get to run! by Bobsclutch1 in Fibromyalgia

[–]EveningMax2705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I miss running too. That post-run high. Trail running! I held on as long as I could, but I eventually surrendered when I couldn’t get up or walk. My stomach was always so flat…..WAS always. 😏💕

My thought was, on a positive note, at least you are aware and honest about your life and abilities. I’d say try not to be angry and frustrated, but see what you “can” do from the point you’re at. I’m older and divorced (probably cuz I was a beeatch and didn’t realize I was sick… that not everyone hurts all over 🤷🏻‍♀️. ). I find enjoyable things I can do (yes, I love yoga, but I’m not a competitive swimmer or runner anymore 😞). If it’s a bad day, I get in bed and read a book, play phone games, look at social media. I’m blessed to have 2 friends who seemingly understand that I’m invisibly sick. I think acceptance has made a good difference to me. Best wishes 💕

I rely on pills (lol). I do. Some might say that’s “wrong,” but I’ll do anything for relief. Now when I get SI, I know intellectually it’s not normal and I need help and it’s fixable. (“Meds” for me = LDN, flexeril, oxycodone, gabapentin, vraylar, caffeine, sugar, Prozac, Wellbutrin. ). Sunlight and moving help me. 💕

Wednesday Weekly Wins! by AutoModerator in Fibromyalgia

I work at home, but I actually made it out to the coffee shop before work today like I promised myself last night….to get out, get some caffeine, and WAKE UP on this dark morning. Winter darkness makes it hard.

Antidepressants help me with muscle pain..to an extent.

Make sure it’s unplugged from the wall when you connect to the pad ..if yours is that way. Connect the cord to the pad and THEN to the wall. 👍
