FM? What is that?

Fibromyalgia. From various sources:

"The defining symptoms of fibromyalgia are chronic, widespread pain, fatigue, and heightened pain in response to pressure (allodynia). Other symptoms may include tingling of the skin, prolonged muscle spasms, weakness in the limbs, nerve pain, functional bowel disturbances, and chronic sleep disturbances.

Many patients experience cognitive dysfunction (known as "brain fog" or "fibrofog"), which may be characterized by impaired concentration, problems with short and long-term memory, short-term memory consolidation, impaired speed of performance, inability to multi-task, cognitive overload, diminished attention span, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.

Other symptoms often attributed to fibromyalgia that may possibly be due to a comorbid disorder include myofascial pain syndrome also referred to as Chronic Myofascial Pain...genitourinary symptoms and interstitial cystitis, dermatological disorders, headaches, myoclonic twitches, and symptomatic hypoglycemia. Although fibromyalgia is classified based on the presence of chronic widespread pain, pain may also be localized in areas such as the shoulders, neck, low back, hips, or other areas."

In short, my body hates itself and there's really no effective treatment other than treating the SYMPTOMS, which is pretty much useless when it's a new symptom every day. I deal with it as best I can, but it's quite difficult on days like this when it's an extreme temperature.

I promise I don't usually whine so much.

I was curious who was on here from Cleveland and I found you.

I hope you find a place sooner than later! I couldn't fathom moving backing in with either parent.

Good for you.

They say that if you love someone you should let them go, but they never say what to do when they dont come back.

Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never knew.

I hope you get the sleep you need.

This guy has come up with a clever way to fall asleep at work....



Hope u get to the bottom of what is causing ur insomnia.

as far as the jerk goes..i hope you can resist texting back next time. i have the same bad habit of doing things that i know aren't good for me.

i dont know if youre into quotes, but i was reading last night and this seems to fit:

"finish everyday and be done with it. you have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities crept in; forget them as soon as you can. tomorrow is a new day. you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ugh. I did NOT ask you back to my place!!! You're too funny.

I want to be one of your crushes. I think you're adorable.

House said it best...Everybody lies.

And everybody hurts.

I'm sorry, I had no idea. I apologize if I pushed too hard.
