Wow, what a lot to talk about.

Meme - So glad you had a good vacation. That is probably just what the Dr. ordered. Now, back to the grind.

Candice - I know you made a typo - gee you typed 'yappy' instead of 'happy' - mistake right? Now, about this problem you have. You NEED to go to the DR. NOW!!!!!!! Is that emphatic enough for you? What in the world are you waiting for? What if it is NOT FM. It could be anything, and you owe it to yourself and your marriage to find out. Your hubby was a jerk to say what he did. Marriage is a lot more than sex!!! It is about helping each other through tough times, and LOVE!!!! I am sure that he has hurt you very much with this attitude.

Mima - Bet your glad your home. Nice to work, but gee, it is nice to be home - especially when you have just been married such a short time.

Knee pain is something else!! I don't know about you, but whatever is hurting is the pain of the moment I know that my left knee used to lock all the time. I would be going one way and my knee was not coming along. Very painful. Then my right knee started and that pain was something else. I couldn't lay down or sit down - sort of had to keep moving. Up all night, had several different kinds of pain killers, and finally, the chiro. told me it was coming from a disk in the lower back. He did some work on that, and put the TENS machine on my lower back and my ankle, and volia the pain started to go away. So he was right. The Dr. just kept giving me painkillers and they sure didn't do the trick.

Ally - So glad you are back. I must have missed something, because I didn't realize you were gone away! Lost in Chocolate heaven - what a disaster. Sometimes it is just better to travel alone. When hubby and I go someplace, we just do what we want to do. Mostly, we have the same likes and dislikes, so we get along just fine; however, when we go with another couple, we do have to compromise and do a little of what each couple wants to do. If you go with someone who is unwilling to compromise, then you have a terrible time.

Serenity - where are you?

Ally...I do...travel alone that is. Every now and then I'll let hubby go if he's paying all the bills! I have 5 nights planned at Spring Hills Suites in Asheville, NC next month...ALONE! Indoor pool and the suite has bedroom living and kitchen combined, huge bath, 2 phones and 2 TVs...hubby says I don't need all that space just for me but I told him I was paying for it and it was none of anyone else's business! But...in October we are supposed to go to Gulf Shore, AL...he's going because he's paying! I'd much rather be by myself!

Anagram...I have that same foot pain. My Dr. is wanting me to go to a foot Dr. but I'm afraid it'll just be the same old same old thing! You go, you have tests done, they don't do anything about it and you have all that crap to do and all that time and money spent for nothing. Did you ever figure out why your foot hurt? Mine hurts in the big bone around on the outside of the ankle and then across the top, too. I've had surgery on both knees so I know what you mean about walking like you're drunk. Sometimes I go to someone's house and mess up by sitting in a low chair or couch and I have to have hubby get me up when we leave. I have to play the piano in church and he'll poke me in the side when the preacher is getting close to finishing and whisper, "Pop you knee"! If I don't straighten my legs out and pop my knees before I get up I can't walk.

Candice...I think Anne is right. It could be something besides the fibro. You need to tell the Dr. that treats your fibro what the problem is and see if he thinks it is fibro or could be something else. Better a wasted trip to the Dr. than finding out it is cancer or something else and it's too late to do anything about it! Besides, if you go to the Dr. he/she can probably help you with the sex situation and then at least your hubby can't say you aren't doing anything about it! Tell him just saying 'no sex no marriage' isn't 'Christian'!!! Besides...he doesn't even believe in divorce...does he??? We don't!!! Guess that's why I say what ever I want to my hubby and don't worry about it...I know he won't leave me!!!

Candice- As I said before,solve this problem... You must love your hubby a lot. If mine said something like that I would tell him how to take care of his problem... Go to your doctor and lay it in his/her lap. Take your hubby with you..That might help a lot. I make mine go with me when he doesn't understand.
Meme It was good that you went away for awhile..It probably did you a lot a good.
Annagram.. Sometimes other people don't realize the amount of pain we have .. I told my Doctor once her had no clue unless he was in the same position.
Happy..That lake looks like a really nice place to go.
Ally..I could not go to a place that makes chocalote. I am so addicted. I don't like to travel with too many people. I am going to Az. in Oct. with my sister. I wonder if we will be talking when we come back
Mima.. I hope yopur working conditions get better. Your Brad must be really understanding for you to be away part of the week. My hubby would not..
Hey Serenity.. Bye,Joanne

Time for a new thread I think. This shows we are on to page 4. My, my, my. Thought I just started a new this week. Hmm, maybe Candice didn't do a typo - maybe she is right. I should change my name to yappycanuk
