Then someone needs to bring her back, don't you think she should be here with her family


:cry: Oh honey, I am so sorry that you are sick. You need to take care of yourself. Wish I could help.flowers BTW, how is Jackie and the kids doing?flowers


{{{cyn}}} hi honey how are youflowers

Merle, poppin in to say hello. It's been awhile!


Absolutely miserable, Merle, back from the doc and have pneumonia, second time in about six weeks. So tired of not being able to breathe properly and my voice sounds so unlike me but am loaded up with meds and tomorrow is definitely another day.


You bet I do, but she had to find out firsthand that her dad had not changed, he was in it for the social security she and the kids were getting from Dean's death. GRRRRRRRR Her sister is going after her this weekend but I won't see them till I am past this bout of pneumonia.

BTW you have email, Merle.

Jackie and the lil ones have been in Flordia with her dad and step-mom about a month now. Just as I imagined would happen, she called, wanting to come back.

frustrated Not sure how I did that but posted in your post...frustrated


I've done that too! But I found what you wrote. Yes, there's studies being done in NC. But, I live in the mountains, the nearest city in which those studies were being conducted was like 1 1/2 hrs away, because I have to work it made it impossible to be a part of that.

It's the fatique that gets to me more then the pain. I've always been a "go getter" and it frustrates me to no end that this is interferring with that. And sleep...when I have told people that I can't sleep, that when I wake up, I'm AWAKE, they'll say something like why don't you lay there for awhile and go back to sleep. I don't know about others but there is no "groggy wakeup time". I am either asleep or wide awake! I've tried a few sleeping aids, they'll work for maybe two weeks. What I have started doing, tho', is when I feel sleepy, no matter what time of day or night, I go to bed instead of trying to fight it. While I'm at work I can't do that, but if I come home at 6 and by 6:30 I'm sleepy, I go to bed.

The SS administration has also now accepted this as a condition for which people can qualify. I haven't tried to file and don't intend to while I can still manage. I guess in my mind I feel that if I do that, I'm giving up!

The Fibromyalgia Network publishes periodicals and has a web site. I've found those to be of help to more understand all the symptoms and what seems to benefit.

I am very lucky that I have a physician who has done research and works with me.

I wish you luck with the studies, you'll be helping a lot of people as well as yourself if they find something to help. I will also keep you in my thoughts!

I am like you with the sleep thing, I lost a good friend because it literally made her mad that sometimes I just was not up to going out and I look back now at that friendship and see that it was always more about her needs than anyone else's so am the better person now that it has ended.

Thanks for the info about the SS Administration, although I would only go that direction if I could no longer do as I am doing, the best I can each day to deal with the pain, sleep loss, overall fatigue.

Kinda excited about the study and hopeful that something will be found.

I tried ambien for a very short time to sleep but sure didn't like the groggy way I felt when I woke up, enough of that so just try to physically wear myself out so that there is no alternative but to sleep.

I'll certainly post it here if anything good comes from the study and look forward to hearing more that everyone else learns. I was diagnosed with this about 15 years ago at Duke University after undergoing so many tests and procedures to be certain it couldn't be anything else. I do understand how some can think it to be the catchall because initially it truly was but not so much now with research ongoing.

But....there are trigger points that the doctors press into.
They hurt a lot when that person has Fibromyalgia. It doesn't bother people that don't have it.


yes, some of the trigger points hurt so bad, it brought tears to my eyes....and I found myself cringing when he'd start to go to another pressure point.


I've heard that Fibromyalgia pts. have awful pain when the trigger points are pressed into by the doctor.

Cathy, like others have written, exercise does work wonders and I agree that walking and swimming are the best. My doc has put me on tramadol which takes the edge off. I don't get alot of sleep which makes it much worse and still trying to get the sleep aspect worked out. Good luck and you are fortunate to have a doc who listens to you. Here in Oklahoma there is a new study which I am going to be involved in to try a new medication. You might check your area to see if there might be one there.

Have you seen a pain management doctor yet?


Not yet, at this point, I'm doing OK with it, in other words, it's not overwhelming me. My physician here is so great to work with me and as long as I keep everything manageable myself, then I'll wait.

slaphead lemme think, lemme think winking


No, I will email you about the meds, doctor had to adjust mine for other reasons:wink:

Oh No! Are you under the weather as well? I'm so sorry to hear that.


I know how that goes, the meds I am on haven't kicked in to make me sleep right either, but hopefully soon they will.


Oh I am so happy about Jackie,:cry: sorry that you missed her steps. Please tell her I am thinking about her and praying for her recovery And have you been to the doctor about this cold you have?

I am doing okay, been working in my yard trying to get all of my flowers planted for the fall. Finally finshed except for a couple of rose-of-sharon bushes and I am done for the season. Should make next yeat a little bit easier.



I went to the doc Thursday afternoon and am loaded up with meds...hate taking the dang stuff cuz it is nasty and I seem to fall asleep long before I want to and then wake up once it starts wearing off at this ungodly hour of the day!

{{{cyn}}} hi and how are you. How is Jackie and are you feeling better? Here is your coffeedrinks

Good Morning! waving



Thanks so much for the coffee, Merle,not feeling better is the reason I'm up, coughing so much I can't sleep.

As for Jackie...she took 60 steps today, I couldn't be happier with that, seems such a small feat but enormous in our eyes. Thanks for asking. Unfortunately I wasn't there to see this because what I thought was a summer cold has turned into walking pneumonia so not going anywhere near Jackie till I have the ok from my doc.

How are you?

You seem to love your outdoors work and all the flowers as much as I do. I bought a few plants earlier in the week and thought I would get them planted this weekend but not going to happen. I have watered them and really hope they'll be ok in those pots a few more days.


I had rose-of-sharon bushes when I moved in, just cut the baby plants off and plant them. Try going on-line looking for Four Seasons nurseries, you might be able to get them there. As a matter of fact, I will see If I can find out more info for you. And I have found they are real hearty and you can plant them up until October and they will grab root real quick. As well, plant them where they have room to grow, they get hugs. I have one in my back yard that is huge. Jusr cut them back in the fall and watch them grow
