Beautiful people, I don't want you worrying about me, so just to let you know, that if I'm *quiet* at the moment, it's because the Chronic Fatigue & Fibro have taken over. <<< more >>>

Hoping you have a better day soon! It's amazing how much you can accomplish on a good day; how much you feel like doing something. I wasn't diagnosed with fibro, but degenerating disks (and arthritis), upper & lower back. Blessings to you!!

Dearest Ruthie, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1988, 20 years ago. I understand. I never talk about it because people don't know what you are talking about. I have learned to live with it. the best thing you can do in my opinion is to exercise was unable to make my work out today and tomorrow I will suffer. I am 65 years old and I am in better physical shape than my 40 year old daughter, but I still suffer. Good things will come to you if you join an exerice group, I promise.

I know what you are saying about exercise katy, and I do as much as I can, which at the moment isn't much, I'm not safe on any exercise equipment when the brain is like this, I could hurt myself. You've had this almost as long as me, I've had it 25 years! I don't usually talk about it either, but if I go AWOL from here, my *Cute* family are very quick to send out the cavalry, beautiful and caring people that you all are! Thanks everyone.

take care and get well soon! *4U

Hop into bed & i will pop over & tuck you in.. Get better real soon. :) *

Get some rest, ruthie and take care of yourself! We want to have you back. We'll miss that humor of yours!

Enjoy a well deserved rest and get better soon. *4U

oh my.. I will sure be thinking about you. You take care of yourself so we can see you around again! I flower to make you feel better! :)

Oh, Ruthie, I can sympathize with the 'brain fog' & fatigue being worse than the pain! I do so wish this were one of those diseases that was curable, or at least we could take something to clear the brain!!! Cyber-hugs, sweetheart, I know exactly where you are, and hope it clears soon! Love you, Marji

Dear Ruthie, I don't have that, but my Mother does and I never completely understand when she has a spell - what is going on with her - but know that she will come out of it and be back to herself - after have some good rest. Take care your yourself and get back with us - when and if you can. *4U

Ruthie, I hope all is well soon and you are back on board real quick. I feel a bit the same only it is because I stay up too late and not enough sleep. Take care of your self and we will hear from you soon.

Ruthie,

Do take care of yourself Ruthie, and take it easy. We'll miss your cheerful answers, but now is the time to look after yourself. Hope it subsides quickly. Love and flowers.

Ruthie we love you much! Do hope you get better soon ~ love and prayers for you *

Take care and rest up Ruthie. It's such a debilitating disease!! As dixie said it is about time something was found as a cure or at least more 'quality' time. *

Hey Ruthie, do take care of yourself, rest and take it easy, we are all here waiting for you to get back on your feet...Hugs *4U

oh ruthie please get better

Hope you get better soon, I can really understand exactly what you are going through I have had my husband with this, and it really is a horrible thing. He was finally told what it was almost 20 years ago are still has it and really no better.
I think it is about time they found out about it and wish they could find a cure. A lot of things to try but he has tried them all and still no better but we keep hoping one day soon there will be a cure
Kind Regards Dixie

hope you will be feeling better soon

Ruthie, rest well and enjoy with all that you can

You poor thing.I can understand what you are going through.I get quite a bit of fatigue myself & have found myself falling asleep on my keyboard at times.ha ha ha I do simpathise with you .hugs & ****

<<< more >>> and I'm suffering chronic brain fog! It's really got a hold this time, and I'm having great trouble *talking* here. I’d rather have the pain than the brain fog. I’ll talk whenever I can, and I’ll come good eventually. Love you all, hugs and flowers, and don’t do anything I wouldn’t – I’ll be watching, haha.
