BlueMist’s Profile

Open Back Pain

I was in a major car crash 4 or so yrs. ago! Freeway was full speed...a truck just stopped for no reason! Tore up my back muscles! Back seized up on impact! Recovering ever since! With Fibro as well, my back really feels it!

Treatments

Ibuprofen Not Working

I've tried this in the past and other OTC's like this and having fibro as well as migraines and seizures and IBS and and and...it's like putting a band-aide on cancer!

Massage Working / Worked

When I can stand to have my back touched...the love and care that goes into these back massages is like something from heaven!

Open Epilepsy & Seizures

I remember getting a horrible seizure when I was a baby! Seems I've always had this! Family just called it "tantrums and not listening!" Nothing more, nothing less!

Open Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

I very seldom am able to eat without pain and bloating! Stomach pains wake me out of sleep at times and I can't move! I try and avoid certain foods, but sometimes it seems like everything is a trigger food!

Open Chronic Pain

I've been in allot of chronic pain and fatigue for so long it's hard to remember when it all started!

Treatments

Love Working / Worked

I just try talking it out with my boyfriend and he so understanding which helps allot! I don't feel completely alone and now that I'm here, I know I'm not alone!

Open Insomnia

I don't remember the last time I slept correctly or went to bed early! Unless I just pass out from the lethargy and exhaustion! What with everything I got medically, how can you blame me?

Open Shyness

I've been shy forever! My family moved around allot when I was growing up! Always the new kid! Never really made friends! Learning to break out of my shell more and more! Still some people and settings, that it's hard to know what to say!

Open Anger Management

I use to get pretty mad when I wasn't sure what was going on with me medically and it scared me! I didn't know how to react to my pain! I didn't understand! Now that I understand my chronic pain more and more, I am learning to deal with always being sick! Some days are pretty hard, but I am trying!

Treatments

Love Working / Worked

The complete and unconditional love and understanding of my boyfriend and my animals helps me through the really hard days!

Music Working / Worked

When I feel overwhelmed by the constant pain in my body and want to just scream , I put on my MP3 player or go to karaoke and just belt out the pain! It really helps! Music has always been a true love of mine!

Open Asthma

I remember getting my first real bout of asthma when I was in 9th grade! I use to get side pains and shortness of breath when I had to run in gym class! I thought something was up before then, but 9th grade gym really confirmed that I needed to get checked for asthma!

Open Restless Legs Syndrome

Having this on top of everything else makes it hard to sleep!

Open Anemia

At times I have extreme weakness, low energy and really poor blood circulation! Numbness, lightheaded, etc. Suspecting Anemia!

Open HPV

I was treated like crap sexually in earlier years and now I have this!

Open Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

Before realizing I had Fibromyalgia, there was allot of talk about Diabetes and test being done! I would (not wanting to) throw up my food and get really ill when I ate and dizzy if waited too long too eat! Found out I have "Hypo!"

Open High Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is high every time I got tested at the docs. Fun Times! Want to learn more about this condition!

Open Pet Bereavement

My little doggie son (a Maltese) had what seemed like a stroke recently and I had to give him CPR! He is the strongest dog I know! He also has a throat collapse disorder when he breathes! Touch and go on that for awhile as well! He is 13y and though he is trying to remain strong, I can see the effects of things catching up with him! He is my doggie son (since 6wks.) and when my boyfriend came into our lives, he now knows mommy AND daddy and loves us very much! He teaches me true strength daily!

Open Hearing Loss & Deafness

My left ear sucks! My right ear is slightly better! It's fun when you have to have people on the right side to hear them any and add the confusion from Migrains and Fibro.FUN TIMES!...NOT!

Open Dyslexia

I have a swiss cheese brain! FUN TIMES!...NOT! It's really fun because I have allot of other diseases alongside of the dyslexia and boy does being in pain ALL the time and being sick ALL the time, well, it REALLY adds to a fuzzy brain some days! I have had dyslexia ever since I was young! Math class was a truly hard and overwhelming subject for me! Getting sicker progressively over the years with other diseases since I was young as well though hasn't helped the dyslexia!
