Fibromyalgia - Real or Imagined?Been reading and wanted to add my 2 cents - Before my DH was dx with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma he was dx with everything from depression to fibro. He had constant fatigue & ached all over, but he had a gut feeling it wasn't fibro. But he was depressed- because no one could figure out what was wrong with him. It took a year. By that time the tumor got so big it starting pressing against his kidney and he landed in the ER in the middle of the night and was FINALLY dx correctly thru a CAT scan. My point is, suffering in anyway can drive you crazy and make you crack. Valerie Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me. |

please helpHi All - Thanks for the nice words - I'll let UB know you are happy for him. The weather has been very cold here but thankfully no snow. We have a Chritmas party at work but we have to pay for it - so needless to say I don't go. The company does give us a very nice luncheon buffett though. Did I tell you all we joined a gym? I have been going regularly and I enjoy it. Now all I need to do is stop eating. I'm glad the weekend is here. bbl AE Sue - how is the lump?

please helpNancy - fantastic photo- your look fabulous and your daughter is a beauty. Sue - I got to thinking - maybe its a bug bite - I had one in the same spot a long time ago and it settled in a lymph node and got really BIG. Scared the heck out of me, but wound up being nothing. Just a thought. AE Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me. |

Wish I wasn't so broke - I would buy you a computer. Jane - so good to see you - have missed you as well. Well ladies I went for my biopsy today and as expected they couldn't do it.
