You too!
Hug
You and my mom have a lot in common. She has fibormyalgia or however that is spelled. If you still want a pen pal I would love one. I love to read as well, I don't get out much so I cross stitch, write poetry, read bookoo's of books and play with my animals. I am 21 but I'm wise beyond my years for what I've been through. Let me know if you want to exchange letters. :D
Hug
Hello my friend hope you had a great time, keep well.

Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ParentMy name is Tricia and I lost my father last May 11, 2007 to COPD. Daddy wanted to remain at home so we did as he requested. My Mom and sister and I took care of him until the end. It was the hardest and best thing I've ever done in my life. Those last few months with him are the most precious memories in my life. But I can't seem to get over the loss. I still think of him daily and the tears flow. I have started having anxiety attacks and losing my train of thought alot.

- Getting Angry Not Working
- Makes me feel bad.
- Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
- I try to stay busy but there are so many firsts without him.
- Poetry Somewhat Helpful
- Makes me cry.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- My prayer & talking to Daddy are helpful.
- Reading Not Working

Close Fibromyalgia
I am 51 yrs old and I have Fibro, Rheumatoid and Osteo-arthritis. I was diagnosed 15 years ago with RA and then Fibro 2 years ago. The OA was found in my knee when I had surgery. Most days I do fine, of course then the other days I walk around in a fibro fog, my skin hurts most of the time and there are days I can barely function.I deliver mail part-time so I sit a lot in my car and when I am done with the day I usually have to power down for a nap to function.
Treatments
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- This helps me stay on an even keel most days and helps me not be moody.
- Effexor Not Working
- Didn't help that I could tell
- Heat Working / Worked
- It helps with the aches.
- Lyrica Too Soon to Tell
- Just started it 10 days ago but so far so good on 75 mg. Getting ready to up the dose to 100mg.

I've had RA for 20 years and OA fjust got diagnosed when had knee surgery. I also found out this year I have Fibromyalgia. These all add up to pain, difficult days and frustration.
