About Me
I am struggling with something that the doctors cannot figure out and it has gone on for about two years. Getting worse as time progresses. I have no energy by the middle to end of day. My back hurts most all the time. The pain is now into my left leg, right shoulder, both ankles and feet. If I walk too much I look like I have cerebral palsy. I am married and have two teenage boys, Luke - 16 and Logan - 14. Teenagers are a different breed, just learn when not to talk with them and everything is fine. :-) They are my world. When I have the energy I do jewelry shows in people's homes and I also started a gift basket service in January.
Interests
Baking, reading, Sudoko, scrapbooking, making cards, spending time with my boys, love the outdoors, lounging in my pool, gardening, love animals

Hug
Count your blessings, you can still work. I would love to have spending money again. I miss the movies, and being able to buy all the veggies and groceries I need, instead of just what I can afford. I am glad to hear you are holding your ground against your illness, that is a lot better than going downhill and being in crisis mode. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving holiday. Thanks for the flowers.

Snazzygirl hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Back Pain
I have had back pain ranging anywhere from 7-10 on pain scale, some days I am lucky and only get up to 5. Lately it hurts worse when I sleep.
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
- only lasts about an hour
- Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
- Not strong enough but when I take Lortab I end up getting sick
- Physical Therapy Considering
- Actually I start on Nov. 27
- Stretching Somewhat Helpful
- I have started using an inversion table, which sometimes helps and sometimes just hurts worse
Open Fibromyalgia
I have not been diagnosed with anything yet. My symptoms are getting worse. Some days are so bad I get really depressed
Treatments
- Neurontin Not Working
- I do not see any improvements in my symptoms
Open Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
I was just diagnosed yesterday with CFS, but having symptoms that continually have gotten worse for 2 years while my doctor(s) have been trying to put the puzzle of what is wrong with me together. I may also end up having Lupus, but for now they are treating me for CFS
Open Lupus
I have tested positive for ANA, but yesterday they took more blood to retest to make sure. I have a lot of symptoms for Lupus, but have not been officially told that is my problem. Been suffering with constant pain anywhere from a 2 to a 10 24/7 with symptoms getting worse as I wait for a diagnosis. Yesterday my doc says CFS which I am now being treated with, but it could be Lupus but I will not know for 2 more weeks.
