I was feeling upset and depressed today. It has been raining on and off for the last 3 days. I woke up and it wasn't so bad, but the more the day progressed the worse I felt.

The Fibromyalgia has been kicking my butt all week and I posted in the section for that..only noone has answered. I have needed to talk to someone and haven't been able to.

This afternoon the pain was unbearable. I can barely walk and I have no strength in my legs to close my recliner. I called my Rheumatologist and he wanted me to drive to his office which is like an hour away. I have an appointment on Tuesday.

He called a prescription in to my pharmacy for Darvacet for pain. Thank goodness! My kids think I am faking all of this. They don't want to help me. But I shouldn't even be complaining... :uhh:

I'll quit complaining now. Just had to tell someone.

That sucks Mary, on top of it our kids can often be so unsympathetic it seems when it comes to their parents.
Hope the Darvo makes you feel better.
This may sound silly, but... Accupuncture has been the best healer in my life! I am soo serious. Many people don't understand how it works and what it's about. (Maybe you have tried it)
I should know more as I was married to an accupuncturist.
But.. It really just wakes up the body to heal itself by sending wake up calls to areas that relate to the problem(s). Mostly I was just thankfull for the relief it gave me. I didn't have fibromyalgia though. But it has never let me down, except in quitting smoking, but I think that was my fault. Most people hardly feel the needles if at all.
Hope you feel better!

Mary
You have EVERY right to complain. The girls SHOULD help YOU!
I'm so sorry that you are in so much pain.
Today was also a depressing day for me. :-(
You do know... you can pm me ANYTIME.

Love ya
Vickie

Mary, I feel you did the right thing. A family is for each other. I know my own teens get so selfish.. and you know what I bet I was like that too at their age. But as a single mom, I need their help. Just as you needed your girls. I totally can relate, though I don't have the pain you suffer from and can imagine for my Mom has what you have and ADD to boot. :)
