    About Me

    I am 58 years old. I have fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis. I am married for almost 14 years to my husband Mike, who has been a godsend to me. A wonderful man he is. I have a married daughter with 2 precious little girls, Mike has a married daughter with a precious little boy. He also has a step-daughter with a precious little girl. I like to read, go to movies, am involved in church work and am a catholic. Some days are better than others as far as the pain goes.

      From Honey46 August 17

      Chris, you are too sweet. I'm so glad you had fun on your trip. Sarah is living in the Collegiate Apts. behind Thomas Assembly Center. She will be sharing an apt. with three other girls, she doesn't know. Keep in mind---only child. (THIS should be interesting!) I'll let you know when I'm Ruston---maybe we could meet somewhere for something with "chocolate"--yummy! The apartments are a year old and very nice. I feeling horrible and depressed. I'm still waiting on lab results for Lyme. The IgG & IgM, Western Blot Tests have been completed, and sent Fedex to a lab out of town--forgot the name. Have a great Sunday, my sweet, sweet, friend! Do you ever go to The Beehive???

      My name is Chris and I'm 58 years old. I was diagnosed with FMS 10 years ago, but I feel that I have had it way longer than that. It was good to finally get a diagnosis! I also have osteoarthritis and in chronic pain. Some days are better than others. A friend told me of this website, so here I am. Regards, Chris

      Treatments

      Aqua Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Doing water therapy n a heated pool feels wonderful. I have stopped doing it but will start again in summer.
      Lyrica Too Soon to Tell
    • Close Arthritis

      I am 58 years old and have had osteoarthritis for about 20 years. My hand especially and in my neck and feet. I'm sure it is elsewhere as well. Along with this I also have Fibromyalgia. I am married to my wonderful husband Mike. Between us we have 3 married daughters and 4 grandchildren. I am in chronic pain, but try to keep moving as much as I can. But, I HATE exercise. Will be good to be in this community. Thank you.
