Our Fibromyalgia Blog Book		Rated: 18+
This will show our daily fight with Fibromyalgia, so others can learn that it's real.
by: Incurable Romantic	Avg Rating: (11)

This blog will chronicle my daily battle with Fibromyalgia, sometimes comparing it to the battle my wife, Kenzie has with the same illness. Many don't believe it's an actual illness, though its existence is recognized more and more in the medical community. I'm hoping that by shedding some light on what it can do to a person we can make others aware that it is indeed real, and that it can hit anyone of any age at any time. It's not deadly, by any means, but it can drastically change your life. It can be a real and aggravating pain in more ways than one(pun intended). MANY more ways.

Have you though about trying Guaifenesin? Google "fibromyalgia guaifenesin" and read about Dr Armand's treatment. I am trying it now and so far i am willing to continue... I am trying to eliminate all salicylates (e.g. aspirin and certain plany derivatives in many common products) and concentrate on letting guaifenesin eliminate the stored phosphates from my body tissues.

The one thing I can honestly say is thank God I do not have Fibro because at times just having Phnamonuia boughts with my lungs sence I found out how bad that they are get me down latly so bad at time to the point that it has to bwe right next door to bad before I even know I am sick so it is a great thing I do not have fibro. Even the neck pain latly I been having I need shots for that they are trying to get medicade to pay for if i had a ach like that like I have seen my mom go through latly I have a feeling I would never stop bawling if I had that on top of it so I can see exactly whatr you guys mean qwhen you talk about pain. I have had 2 in the last month boughts with phnamonuia again. The last round I got a shot of Rowsephan that is a antibiotic in my hip that can be took I.V. Form but they said they wanted me on a med by mouth 2 times a day for 10 days that should end about Thursday I hope so I hope this fixes that mess this time for good. Hope this time all stays well with you all as well At least for the winter months because you both dont need to be driving on slick snowy roads this winter trying to get to a doctors.

This is really interesting.

I've had fibromyalgia for five years and the weird, intermittent sacroiliac pain for about 6 months.

It is on the right side and sometimes extends around to the front hip bone.

But I found a really good chiropractor who has all but made the sacroiliac pain go away with chiropractic adjustments and a couple of specific stretching exercises that I do 3-5 times a day.

Just another part of <a href="http://www.fibromyalgiafibromyalgia.info/default.htm" target="_blank">My Big Fat Fibro Adventure!</a>

Only One comment to this that I can think of that would be a great idea for that monster. It needs SHOT! And You Might want to have the shoulder x-rayed to make sure its not accidently maybe out of place. My mom once was throwing wood from the back of a druck once and puld her shoulder out of place like that from a fast monthion kind of like that once. it can happen and you not know it at first. Just A idea.

My mother and I both suffer the fibro rollercoaster. I find it necessary to take naps frequently. My mom is always telling me to "get up and move around" to stay awake. No offense to my mother, but I would rather nap. I know because of the chronic fatigue associated with fibro, my house suffers a little when it comes to cleaning. It is not a pig sty by any means but it is cluttered. The pain keeps me awake at night at times, so I do need that little "nap" during the day. Especially when the weather is wreaking havoc on my body.
I know there are people out there that do not believe fibro exists. If they were in our bodies they would definately have a different view on the disease. Maybe it won't kill us. But there are days I hurt so bad I wish I were dead.

You bet we're a pair, dear.

And I still say it goes back to sometthing we agreed on from the start. Going through all of those pains, and the others, and the fatigue, together, knowing the other understands and things require no explanation, beats the heck out of both of us going through it alone.

Bless your heart, hubby dear. I do know about that burning sensation. And the tingling, numbness, shooting pains, stabbing pains and throbbing ones.

Aren't we a pair?
