About Me
Now adays it feels like I just one big advertisement for illnesses. I feel trapped by menopause, fibryomyalgia, restless legs, depression, extreme stress, headaches, IBS and sore tired feet. Just when I was coming up the mountain from menopause...the fibro kicked into overdrive and down I slide again...down into the valley of this stuff...I tried lots of meds...but I hate meds. Sometimes they work, but there's no telling when they won't anymore. I don't want to loose myself to my illnesses....so medicated that I can't think or care. I'm 51 years on the planet...it's been a rough walk, crawl even. I so need for this to be different now...I'm just not convinced that it really will be....this is not a good day for me.
Interests
I'm a writer and that's my joy. I also love to spend time with my grandsons and family.

Hi Bev; Hope you are feeling better soon! You deserve a break after all that. That's so great that your boss is understanding & education herself about FMS. We need more people like her in our lives. Big hugs, Dede

Sorry you're in such terrible pain~ I've been there too. It's terrible when you get that cold to your bones feeling and can't shake it. I think you've got the right idea trying to cuddle up with blankets & quilts. I always wear warm socks (sometimes 2 pair!). It will get better. Hope that the Cymbalta has positive effects on your pain. Prayers & hugs coming your way today Bev. Take care! Dede

Close Menopause
I am 51 years old and I feel like I have been in menopause for the past 8 years! I am driving everyone crazy, including myself. Why do people pretend not to notice a screaming woman? If women are from Venus and men are from Mars...can someone please send me back home to my sisters!! I know that ain't happening...I just like the way it sounds. (smile)
Treatments
- Neurontin Somewhat Helpful
- I take this to sleep. I also have Fibromyalgia...better known as hit by a train pulling a fleet of trucks while being dragged behind a tractor disorder.
- Celexa Working / Worked
- Needed it for the obvious depression I experience dealing with menopause and FMS. It keeps me balance so I can cope with my limitations and people who are simply clueless.
- Massage Working / Worked
- Massage therapy relaxes me. I've become spiritually balanced from it. I have a massage weekly
- Yoga Too Soon to Tell
- Just started yoga to improve muscle tone and strength. It also helps me focus, remember things and clears that awful Menopause mental fog.
