Journal Entry for January 9, 2008 Mood
Wednesday, January 9, 2008

So yesterday was a pretty good day I only woke up with a migraine and felt really active so much that i wanted to go back to work!!! But i didn't! I did get really upset with my husband last night though. He had talked to one of his Major's at work who is a doctor and was asking about the FM and how it works and if it's really what I mite have... This Major proceeded to tell him that really it's all in my head and to get some mental health !!!!!! I am so sick of this stuff it always goes back to me being " MENTAL " ...... As active as I was before September how could someone possibly think this is all in my head I go so frustrated I ended up with another headache and I was done talking with him for the rest of the night! I knew it wasn't really his fault but i think he could of set this Major right instead of letting him say I mental???

Knowing that a lot of FM is emotional stress and physical how do I get over this?? Do i just need a really good therapist because it is all in my head or do I really have FM at all??? I think i get questions answered and start figuring things out and then all of a sudden I get drug back down again. This Major says that almost all FM people are mental, ok, and that we think are arm hurts and believe it so much that it really starts to hurt!!! I'm sorry but i know I hate being in pain and I've gone through 3 natural child births, just because I didn't want that big needle in my back!!! Know they think i like pain so much that i want to be bed ridden for days on end and not be able to do the things I love to do!!!!!  I'm so done with talking to people about this that dont even understand me or what i go through!!!!

    You need to find someone in your area that does treat this. Don't give up the fightand by all means your husband needs to understand this isn't all in our heads. I told the Neuro I didn't say anything for a long time because I thought it was all in my head and he told me that MS is all in the head because that is where the damage is caused. Don't give up your fight. There is someone in your area that should know how to help you out!! Don't give up your fight hon and I know it is hard to say that but try!! I know Mike had a few of the guys pull him aside after he got told what I had and they told them that they also have family members that have it and they are there for him for anything heneeds.

    Hi, I didn't know what was wrong with me and I think it helped with the Dx a bit. My GP saw the problems and noted them for a few months and then did bloodwork. She then sent me to a Rheumatoid doc and he dx's me after doing bloodwork and x-rays. They want to eliminate things first like arthritis and Lyme disease. Also anything neurological. I know it is hard but try to find a doctor that deals with fibro. Not all doctors do and it is a waste of time to see a doctor that doesn't treat fibro. Hugs, Kelly :)

    You are not MENTAL!!!! I really do understand how you feel and what you are going through. I was very active until 2006 and then I started feeling like I was 80 instead of 40. Walking and lifting became extremely painful. I slept all the time. However - between my GP and congnitive therapy, I have found myself traveling down a friendlier road. My family still gets frustrated w/ me when I ask them to do simple tasks that I was doing myself just a year ago, but they are starting to come around "VERY" slowly and w/ alot of grief mixed in. Hang in there and keep fighting!!!!
