  I have been diagnosed with   fibro and chronic pain for 20 months.I
swim and take walks to aleivesome of  my pain and also take sleeping
meds .
  do any of  you take any pain medication? I live in Canada, and my dr
gives me oxycotin and oxycodone for b/t pain. I still have some pain
and when Im in a flare I hurt and feel depressed and sad and so tired!
do you have these pains? Im lucky that my husband works as I can not.

my hubby of 6 yrs , but he is getting his visa and we are going to live
in the US soon!) and I go to see her once a month or so as she is
terminaly ill and my sister has to care for her full time. I try to go
and ease my sister.s  load some but I get ill each time I go and it
takes me days to recover! Any way sorry about my ravings lol

bless  and Hope  you have a low pain day today! Dianne C.

Hello Everyone

I've just found the Fibro Friends website, and this Yahoo group.  My
name is Sally, I'm 33 and live in Nottingham.  I was diagnosed with
Fibromyalgia about 7 years ago.  I am managing the condition a lot
better than I used too through medication and excercise, although I
have good days and bad days.  My main concerns are chronic fatigue, and
muscle pain - which is worse than usual at the moment because I think
of the cold weather.

I would love to meet and chat with people, preferably from the
Notts/Derbys area.  I would be interested in the monthly meal too.

Best wishes,
Sally

Hi all

I do apologise firstly for not having posted for a while.  I am have
been setting up a business that is supposed to not involve to much
physical work but has left me exhausted and stuck in Dorset rather
than Nottingham.

I have a very limited access to the Internet while mobile and thank
you all for keeping things running and keeping the group alive.

I am working on a new newsletter and anyone who would like to recieve
either an e-mail copy of this or one in the post please contact me,
it will be posted on the Net in due course but anyone wanting to meet
up for a meal would be advised to contact me direct and I can pass it
onto someone better placed at the moment to organise them.

Although Fibro Friends exists here as a newsgroup the group is also
very much alive in the real world with meals, etc and also chatting
on the phone.  Due to data protection if you would like to be
included in this list of members I would ask that you contact me for
a form to join and this will keep you updated with any extra events,
especially if you are in the East Midlands area.

If there is anyone in the Dorset area that would like to start
something up in the New Year please let me know as I am happy to get
something started up but will need to find a dedicated Fibro Friend
to keep it running, but with our full support.  That also applies in
other areas as Fibro Friends groups are needed in other areas of the
country to support.

I would like to thank those people who are working behind the scenes
to keep this group going in my absence both online and in
Nottingham.  I apologise for the lack of newsletter and website
update but they are definately next on my agenda.

I promise that as Christmas approaches rapidly that the website, will
be celebrating its first birthday in style with a complete upgrade of
information which I am working on and hope to be able to arrange
something special with those of you who meet up.

Anyway keep the group going and I hope that we are still making a
difference.

Nicola
Founder of Fibro Friends

just thought that i would drop this information in for everyone if
you
are having problems with any of the medical staff in your doctors or
hospitals there are people out there that will help you to get
things
sorted out

you can contact your local PALS (Patient Advice and Liason Service)
relating to the hospital or doctors area your are in.
also you can speak to people from the following as well
(Primary Care Trust) and the PPIF (Patient & PublicInvolvement
Forum)

i am having to fight with my doctors at the moment to get some
decent treatment and help.  if any body would like further
information then get in touch and speak to me to explain further

all i will say is that don't let any of them, turn around to you and
say that it is all in your head and you are imagining it becuase
fibro is a real condition with real pain

if anybody would like information to take with them about fibro get
in touch an d i can send you the links to sites that i have been
finding useful recently

take care to you all and may your god bless you

regards steve

Hi all

As much as I don't have a problem with other websites, unfortunately
folkman posted the UK Fibromyalgia Association's website.  Which is
highly publicized on other sites, but I must disassociate myself and
Fibro Friends with.

I am sorry to say that the Fibro Friends was set up due to the lack of
support from other UK organisations and this particular group has a
major problem with Fibro Friends existance particularly in the
Nottingham and East Midlands area.  As an ex serving member of the
committee here, I need to completely state we are nothing to do with
this UK Association and have no interest in supporting us here.

I have removed folkman's posting of this link, so if you have recieved
it in the e-mail format, I must apologise and point out that we are not
connected to this group in anyway.  Anyone who knows how this group is
run would appreciate this, especially where their constitution is
concerned.

If there is a link that you would like to have included, by all means
contact me directly.  For further links which have no allegiance to any
group or organisation please see the Fibro Friends website:
www.fibrofriends.co.uk

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but for legal reasons this
has to be stated.

Hi all

After folkman's posting about the above item. If anyone does want to
try this contact me as I am aware of a Canadian company who can supply
this for about £12 for 2 to 3 months supply.  It will take a while to
come through as it has to go through customs and is white powder in
capsules.  It is licenced in this country in cough medicine and would
advise anyone who already takes paracetamol to try it by purchasing
Beechams All-In-One which would give you the same as a daily dose but
in a smaller amount that a one off hit.

It has worked wonders for me and if you would like to read more please
see the fibro friends website and look at the newsletters where I have
documented my use of it.

Thank you for your email it was only mean't for you not the group .Once I got home I read the hand out from the practitoner it's just one big advertiseing campaign for the so call Dr St Amand and my Wife is very angrily about this as you have to cut out so many foods you need to buy supplements from him and also what toiletry's you use and the books she said you must buy of course by him and then comes the main drug Guaifenesin which hasn't been licence over here yet I think it's all one big con.Like all syndrome's you must watch what you eat and drink at faction of the cost and more heathly than a load of tablets that might not work like if you have Arthitis don't eat lemons or orange's my personal opinion is eat with care and dn't get suck in to some sort of miracle cure the only miracle I see is your money going down and there's going up .

Nothing to do

 

Sitting in my man made cave

Looking out of the window

At the driving rain bouncing

Of the path and the road

Running down the roof tops

Forming puddles that run

Down the drain's like a river

In a never ending flow

That's why I sit here do nothing

 

The wind bending tree's like straw

The leaves whip up and swilling

And dancing in the air

The flowers staying to and thought

People running for shelter

The umbrellas turning inside out

And news papers rise to the sky

Only to fall back down in a soggy mess

That's why I sit here do nothing

 

Car lights shining thought the rain

Making each drop look like jewel

Wind screen wipers trying

To keep up with the rain in vain

The tyres rolling thought making

Mini tsunami spreading a cross the road

Hitting the kerb as the sea hits

The rock sending spray into the air

That's why I sit here doing nothing

 

The lights from lamp posts

Being bend in wonderful patterns

Against the dark sky

Now the rain has stop

The wind now cold and

Jack Frost moves in and turns water to ice

That shines like diamonds

So I sit in my cave staring out

Of the window with nothing to do

Hi

I am so sorry that I haven't posted for such a long time.  I have been
a busy little bee for the past couple of months moving house.  I hope
everyone is ok and that Fibro hasn't been too bad with the weather that
we have had over the past couple of months.  I certainly have benefited
from moving near the sea and the weather being a lot kinder.

If there is anyone from the Dorset area who would be interested in
meeting up please get in touch with me as I would like to start a
social support group in Dorset.

Speak soon

Hi all

I wouldn't normally endorse or allow advertising like this but I have
just watched this and I think it's a great film which shows Fibro in a
light that I think may help people, especially friends and family.

If you go onto the actual competition page there is more than one film
been made about fibro and they are short and worth looking at.  One
really hits home.

Anyway I hope all is well with everyone and hope to speak soon.

Just thought this might help some of you to feel less alone (although
I guess this group helps with that!) and maybe it'll help if you show
it to friends / family who don't really understand. It's only 10
minutes long & there's a 3 minute version that has been entered into
a contest so if you have less time you could just watch that one! If
the 3 minute version wins the contest it will be aired throughout
America as a Public Service Announcement and shown at conferences
worldwide.

Anyway if you'd like to watch the full 10 minute documentary, it's at
www.diagnosesupport.com/documentary.htm
It's not for sale but if you want to show it to someone who doesn't
have a computer, we might be able to install a download option
somehow. That's not easy to do though so let me know if you need it!


If you go to http://www.pandoranet.info/advocacyvideocontest.html you
can see the videos that are through to the last round of the contest.
Mine is the first one on the list and the one below is the only other
fibromyalgia entry, so it's between me and her! A winner will also be
chosen from the M.E./C.F.S. videos below (numbers 3 & 4) so you may
wish to vote for one of those 2 as well.

To vote, please send an email to
contact@...
briefly explaining why you feel the video of your choice should win,
with the title of the video and the category in the subject box.


Obviously I'd like my video to win (because my friend who made it put
a lot of effort in just to help with my awareness campaign!) but my
main concern is that awareness is raised SOMEHOW, so if you feel that
the other video is better than mine, then by all means vote for that
one and I won't hold it against you! If you have fibromyalgia, you
need to pick the one that you would like to be represented by,
because the winning video will reach a LOT of people!

If anyone would like to join in my awareness campaign (which is
getting bigger by the day - last time I checked 30 people had signed
up to use my awareness materials to raise awareness) you just have to
sign up with diagnosesupport.com
It's free & honestly there is no obligation whatsoever, we just ask
for people to sign up so that we can map where awareness is being
increased and see where we need to focus on!

Anyway, happy to have found this group :) Hope to be able to help
some of you by sharing coping tips in the future.

Best wishes,

Prickles

have to decline - the hospital administrator was not told that it
hurts you too much to manipulate scissors.
...You are in the bank during a hostile take-over, and the robbers
tell everyone, "stick em up" - You say, "um, excuse me, is this going
to take very long? I have medical documentation that says I can't do
that."
...You ask your pharmacy if they have a drug of the month club.
...The "perfect gift" is a microwave-able heating pad, it's portable

he's only a Chihuahua.

but on how many pockets they have and how strategically they're
placed.

...You can type 35wpm with one hand.
...When the wave goes around a stadium it stops with you.
...You're glad you're going bald because you won't have to strain
your arm and shoulder to brush your hair any more.
...You never wear a seat belt because of the pain of the shoulder
strap, you can't put it under your arm and what's the difference
anyway.
...When getting a chest x-ray they say, "take a deep breath and hold
it", you fake it.
...Your shoes are all slip-ons.
...The cat loves you because you make such a good spot for naps.
...You see a "bad teen" on TV who got thrown out of school for
selling prescription pain meds and wish you had a kid in the same
class.
...When the local paper has smiling pictures of certain medical
people, you make sure they're facing up in the bottom of the
birdcage.
...You try to get your toddler interested in a career in neurology,
vascular surgery or pain management.
...You feel like a perfectly normal person until you try to do
anything that perfectly normal people can do.
...Your nurse tells you that they are naming an examining room after
you.

I would like to share with all of you, that I have been trying out
Parton Gel free packet, mainly on my knees. It is a natural Gel that's
made from sea mussels, the great thing is though is that it works; it
relieves my pain so walking, climbing up and down stairs is lot easier oh and it
im finding that one aplication lasts me all day. I
apply it at night(it makes the area feel cold at first then it goes
lovely and warm) and it's been helping me get a good night's sleep and
I'm able to get out of bed when my alarm goes off in the morning and i
dont feel so stiff yip hee.
I have found that most heath food stores stock it and its not too
exspensive around £8 for 125ml but you only need to use a tiny bit.
The sample i go is 6ml and that last me nearly a week, but i am only
applying to my knees. Anyway check out the web site www.parnaton-uk.com
for more info, you can also get relaxing bath therapy and capsules too.
Why not go on line today and order yourself a free sample and see if
it works for you because it's the only way your going to find out.
Has any one brough any MBT trainers and if so have they found them
helpful? would love to know, for those that dont know what they are
here is the website to explain: www.learntowalkagain.com and click
on the MBT logo. sorry this is a long one but I hope you all fine it
helpful good luck freddy

Hi all

Just to let you know all of you who have signed up for this newsgroup
should get an e-mail from facebook.com.

I have started a fibrofriends.co.uk group on their and this will enable
people who don't have yahoo log-ins to join too in the chatting.

I can also add videos on this from youtube and there are many of them
well worth watching.

The website will be updated over the next couple of months as I just
haven't had the time.

I would also welcome ideas of locations for awareness events for 2008.

Speak soon

Nicola
Founder Of Fibrofriends.co.uk

Hello everyone I just thought I would send out a little mail to see
how everyone is.  Its very quiet on here which is a shame as I am
sure there are people out there that would like to say hello now and
again!

So if you are there and would like to say hello and let everyone know
how you are, where you are and what you like to do!

I live in the north east of England around 7 miles from Newcastle
upon Tyne, I was officially diagnosed with fibro eighteen months ago
but like many others have had it for years before that.  I still
manage to work although I must admit at times its hard to work full
time, fortunately touch wood I have a very understanding boss.

In my spare time I like it read and cross stitch, and of course
chat........Well I am a woman!!!

Hope to get you all chatting soon!

Keep Smiling...........

Sorry I haven't been on for a while but things haven't been going great
for me on a non-Fibro basis (you'll just have to wait for the book!!!).

I have allowed the posting from Jason, I looked at his website and have
spoken to him via e-mail and felt that some of you may benefit from his
information and guides.

Hope all is well with everyone else.  Look out for Fibro Friends on
facebook.com as well now.

Nicky
