Topic: need friends any ideas
This may be a bit long. I really need to find a girl friend to get close with. Its time my hubby tries but i need a women to talk with who can understand me. See i lost my best friend almost 2 years ago to cancer. And I feel I have no one. My kids live near by but i feel they just try to bring me down   they only really want me when they need something and my youngest is allways trying her best to agervate me by saying diffrent things. example she came over bragging about the wqeight she lost and how she didnt have to have surgery to do it both of my oldest girls are jelous of my baby there grown but still jelous  I was feeling real bad yesterday and felt like i need to go get checked out and had to call my hubby home from work because my x husband has it in ther head that im faking I dont need this stress right now all my daughter could say is if your sick you cant go into the hospital to see the baby witch will be coming soon I allready new that I was hoping for some support because i was having an axiety attach instead I got that. I guess im just lonely lol is there a sight to meet friends instead of dating lol Loretta

Topic: RE: Lyrica anyone?
 I was put on Lyrica a year and a half ago and I was at that time going to the gym 5 days a week for 1 1/2 hrs a day plus two zumba classes and in three months I packed on 30 pounds. I almost went crazy could not understand why. I also found that in the evenings I would get this massive cravings for sugar and I am not a sweet person so it was strange for me. All I could think about was sugar. Finally I was telling a friend about it and she told me the same thing happened when she went on the lyrica. So I went back to the doctor and told her what was going on and she pulled me off it. Here I was working like hell to get the weight off to help the fibro and the drug the had me on packed it on.

I started out with walking. If I walk every day I feel really good. Its crazy but exercising does not make my pain worse. If its a bad day, its a bad day. So if I can possibly go ahead and walk I do. Treadmill walking causes me plantar facisitis. So I try to walk out side as much as possible. Aqua aerobics feel really good also. Just don't over do.

First lesson in fibro exercise, go easy. Since our muscles are so fragile we need to go slow and build up. P90 is a serious workout, for very experienced exercisers. We have to do the wussie version.Warm baths and easy stretching might help. Hope you feel better soon!

Topic: RE: Disability Hearing
when they interview me I was scared luckly the lady was nice. At first I thought it would be hard to exsplain to her what it was like since it was hard every time i went to the doctors. But telling them how my life had changed was easy. I dont barley often go shopping by my self because I cant handle lifting all the grocerys up the stair to get them in the house. Just three stairs but stair arnt my friend. I dont drive much because of the brain fog, and anxiety. If you get stressed and need some one to talk to email me and ill give you my number Ill gladly be there to listen and help were I can  Loretta

Thanks, Ladies! I think I will start writing things that I think of down right now. That is one of my biggest problems is my memory is horrible. This is quite a dragon we are trying to slay.

Unfortunately few of us have been helped by our surgery and that includes all the different surgeries. Fibro pain usually continues, now any arthritic pain or just pain from the weight will ease or go away but the fobro is an evil pain and stays to wreck havoc with us. Can't address the pill issue because I have a crap band and can swallow anything and don't malabsorb.
