Congrats Dianna! Compassion in Bucketloads

[CandyM314]

Hi DStar

Wow, congratulations. What a great relief yesterday must have been for you.

It is just like everyone else has said, you are a lovely person for thinking of all of us when a lot of people would just be thinking of themselves

I honestly believe compassion is part of the BFS personality profile (if such a thing exists) and you've shown it in bucketloads

Now you can relax, have a great weekend, holiday season, 2006, life etc etc

Well done ) Julia

Of course I am super duper happy that your neuro told you that you were well, which is what we all told you anyway, but I am also a little sad. I didn't know that you were a smoker and now I have to worry about your health in that way. You must quit, today and be done with those horrible little white devils. You are simply too awesome a person, do you get that? Now, I expect you to also hound me about my addiction to sweet fatty things!! Deal?

Concerned,
Basso

Hi everyone, Thank you for the nice replys. I just have to say that each and everyone of you show consideration and love towards others everyday on this board you all have BIG HEARTS wether you realize it or not if it werent for you I probably could not have made it this far. When
I was down and out you are the ones who kept me going like Mark said
others dont know what its like until they have walked a mile in that mans shoes boy is that the truth. If I was cured tomarrow what this stuff has done to me I could never forget what all of you have done for me so I
will always be willing to give back all that I can to help others we all share
this crazy syndrome alike though we may never find the cause or get
answers we know we are going to be ok its the reasurance from each
other that we need to remind ourselves of this. Thank you all for being
there for me you are awsome people.

Cinderella, I hope all gos well with your testing. I do have muscle pain at times but not constantly. I have already seen a Rehumo and all of my blood work was fine. I do have alot of tender points she says . I just
thought the main symptoms I have are more BFS I guess they can go together. That is why I have to see one with more knowledge in Fibro.

Basso, You little sweet tart Ok I am going to try real hard to quit
smoking I took this up after my fourth child I lost control with myself
I can quit for short periods but when the anxiety gets high I must have one. I wish it was real easy my dad has a fit he says it is easy throw them away he suffers from COPD and it does scare me. But its a hard habit to break. Ok I will make you a deal no more sweets for you and
nomore smokes for me this is going to be so hard.

Congratulations on your great Dr.'s visit. He sounds like he was compassionate, and spent the time answering your questions. Thank you for asking them !

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia years ago by a wonderful rheumotoligist. I have symptoms that come and go. Twitching was never a symptom of mine at the time I was diagnosed. But my very best friend ( who is wonderful to even put up with me and all my neurosis) found a comprehensive site that stated very clearly that twitching is indeed a symptom of fibromyalgia. I have her go to all the web-site's and read them for me...I am too scared to look (is anyone else as childish as me?)

Anyway, this week I had to take my Mother to her neurology appointment. She took a fall and has been having frequent headaches. I went in with her of course.....and after her neuro checkup ( stick out your tounge, push up your shoulders, close yor eyes, touch your fingers to your nose, push my hands, reflex check....I wanted to make sure I noted them all so I could do them at home!) we followed him into his office. When we were done discussing my Mother, I asked him about the twitching. I told him, that I had been having them and did he think I needed to worry? I told him (as if I were half joking) that I goggled them and what came up, and how scared that made me. He said " I doubt you have ***", but make an appointment on the way out, and tell them to schedule the time to do an emg.....O.K., if it wasn't for referral that I need from my insurance, I think that I would have dropped to mt knees and begged him to do it then. Now that 2 days have passed, I am scared again to go for the visit.

Well anyway, I am glad that your visit went so well. I am going to the store to buy gatorade.....as you all probably know it is being tried by many here with good results! If that works then I don't EVER have to have the emg!

ristinaL91, why would you take that dreadful critical old bag to the neuro. Don't you know her fall was just a ruse to make you feel sorry for her, and ingratiate herself to you after behaving abysmally over "laugh out Loud" Thanksgiving.

Further, that pathetic neuro was no doubt in cahoots with "Mother." His emg suggestion is nothing more than him seeing the green backs that he walks around with in his eyes day and night, night and day. AAAARRRRGGGG!!!! If I hadn't puked already thinking of my own tragic upbringing, I would most definitely barf, right now. (Why isn't there a bloody barf emoticon?)

I still remember the day clearly when "Mother," the supposed nurturer of the family, leaned over to me at the dinner table and said, "I'd like to knife ya... I'd like to knife ya so I would," all the while brandishing a fierce looking butter knife at me. As I sat there dumbfounded, she catapulted the knife at me, narrowly missing my head, and denting the wall. I quickly made my exit to my bedroom where I buried my head in the all to familiar pillow, and cried out to my teddy that, "nobody loves me." My Dad had been sitting at the table and he didn't utter a sound. Later on, as their bedroom was atop mine, I heard them cavorting in the bed as was evidenced by the rambunctious squeak, squeak, squeaking of their well bounced bed. No doubt the little table episode gave them both the charge they needed to engage in the "much needed sex" release.

I am sorry DStar to use your gorgeous good news to vent the wounds of my childhood but...my God those cinnamon rolls look good. I'm trying not eat one, but the memories...

Great news DStar, and thanks for asking all the questions for all of us here. I have a question for you though: What are your fibro-symptoms? Did the neuro think that this could cause yor twitching too?
