Anyone experience vertigo(you know that room spinning, nausiating kind of dizziness) with the
Fibro. I had this years ago and have meds for it but had never related it to my Fibro,but
Monday I was in so mush pain I told DH we had to get rid of all our animals cause it was too
much trouble for me and I love my animals! (but finding them really hard to keep up with on
bad days). Anway on Tuesday I was forced to rest due to waking up with Vertigo, I had to get
up cause laying flat made it worse so I sat in my recliner propped up with a pillow and as long
as I didn't move I was ok. Wed. it was still there but not as bad so I decided it must have been
my bodys way of saying take a few days off.....totally off! My legs and arms have also been
giving me fits with muscle pain on the underside of my arms(elbow to hands) and the back of
my legs(knee to ankle) Just feels like they need a good stretch and when I do it doesn't seem
to help. Stiff muslces I guess you could say. This is something I had not experienced untill the
last few months and I keep thinking it will go away when the warmer weather comes. Any of
your thoughts would be appreciated..I try not to run to the doc for every little thing that goes
wrong(my docs are not well informed anyway about Fibro) but somethimes I just can't tell if it
is Fibro or something else. Thanks for being here all!

Meme......How much did ya fork over for that neat purse

I'm back at my new home and am staying a while because I have so much to do. I had my blood test yesterday so I'll know if i have syphylis-MA is archaic.Threy still do that. Anyway I brought my computer this time and found a local access no. Earthlink really works well for me. Candice-poor you. A friend of mine has vertigo and she really gets laid up. Alison has her spelling bee tonight-say a prayer for her. Bye for now-oh yeah-i had an ad on match.com and actually got 2 replies but I met my man at a singles group. Mima

Candice - I had vertigo once and I never hope to have it again. It had NOTHING to do with FM, because I didn't have it then. I believe it had to do with spraying RAID (indoor). I was living by the river and it was in the summer. All those horrid little Afids(those tiny little bugs) were up by the light, so I decided to spray them. It was late in the evening. When I woke up in the morning, the world was spinning. I couldn't not even stand up. Thank goodness my husband was around that day. By 2:00 p.m. I called the Dr. and he told me to take GRAVOL. This I did, and by suppertime I was able to walk, albeit, still a little dizzy. When I woke the next day, I was back to normal and have NEVER had it again. Get some GRAVOL, Candice. It really does work.

Meme - Have a great time! Forget about everything, you will look fine. I like the sound of that new purse. I switched from a big one to a small one, because I was getting so tired of lugging it around - and the weight of it:lol I hope they find out what the devil is wrong with that little Ross. Poor little fellow.

Mima - Hope you find your new home enjoyable. Before you know it, you will be MRS again. Just over a month until the big day Month arrives:lol . Now this is going to be fun.

Hi Joanne and Ally. Hope you are both doing well. Ally, I trust you enjoyed yourself at the wedding!

Well, I was down another pound yesterday at weigh-in. So that now makes 9.6. Doesn't sound like much to me, but if I were to line up 91/2 pounds of butter on the counter, it is a LOT:lol

Hi all!!!So glad I have my computer here. Anne-congrats-i know that feeling of success. 9 and a half is excellent. Really getting things done-it will take a bit though. But I've only been home a week. we are going to Christian singles tonight-where we met. Probably our last time. Candice-hope you are better. Meme-have fun. What did the doc say about Ross? Not going to push myself today. fibros get more physically tired. I don't know how Brad does it. He works so hard and keeps on going. Hi to everyone else-Ally, joanne. It's freezing here Joanne.Mima

[Happy Canuk]

Hi Mima, looks like it is just you and me for the time being. Meme is gone away, Candice is not feeling well, Joanne is where? and Ally should be back.

Now, I hope that Ally had a good time at the wedding.

Candice, I do hope that you are feeling better by now.

Meme is away having a great time.

Joanne is where?

Mima, I hope it gets warm for you soon. I know that all of you are looking forward to Spring (well me too) and it is on it's way. I feel a little better today than yesterday, although my arm is really sore. Chiro. treatment really helped witht he lower back.

Have a good day everyone. Tomorrow, I will be a whole year older (56). Sure don't know how I got be that old! Guess it happens to everyone

Years back when I had this they thought it was inner ear or maybe the beginning of Miners Diesease....I am better but wake up every day with a touch of it and take my meclizine and that seems to help...but I can't move to quickly or lay my head back and move so no floor exercises!

Happy...Gravol???????????????

I had to switch to a fanny pack when shopping after my arms got so bad...keep my purse in the trunk but have to take a cooler along in the hot months so my medicine dos not over heat! My shoulders will not toloarte anthing now(purse no matter the size!)

I don't envy Meme..that's a 12 hour trip she is making!

What kind of shoes do you all wear????????? I have foot pain so I have to wear comfy ones and they look awful...would like to find a pair of dress ones I can tolorate but haven't been able to yet!

Happy- I am right here in Tarpon Springs. I read your post on the Raid... a few days ago we went out to our sons house to help him solve a problem.. He had flys everywhere. We decided something had crawled under his house and died. My hubby was spraying raid on the flys. Lots of it. Well we found the corpse,a possum,a big one too. My son had to crawl under the house and get it out.My hubby started feeling sick and dizzy later in the evening and was that way for a couple days. I am sure it was the raid.That stuff is more lethal than they tell you...I hope you have a really nice birthday. Lord to be on the 50's again!!
Mima.. The weather here is cool.In the 70's.. It was really warm for a few days. My daughter is due to pull in, in a little while so I better get off this thing so she can call if she needs to.. I haven't seen her in a few weeks..
Hello Candice..I hope you are feeling better...
YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND...Bye...Joanne

Hi guys, I'm back. Here is some advice. Sometimes it is better NOT to know how the other half lives. I was with relatives who have money. I stayed at my cousins new house after her daughter's wedding in S. Carolina. They live in a "village" that was created as a retirement place for very rich people who like to play golf. I have never seen such beautiful houses. Hard to come home to my own tiny dirty dusty place. Made me go get a carpet cleaner which I should have bought a long time ago. My rugs look great, but my back is killing me.
Candice.....I have a friend at work who has to take medicine every once in a while cause she gets dizzy. Came on her all of a sudden, she couldn't get up off the floor where she had been sitting. Had to go to the hospital in an ambulance. I think it is more common than you think, but scary and debilitating.
And shoes?????? I wear Berkinstocks, or Dexters. No heels. I wore heels at this wedding and thought I would die. No dancing for me.
Haven't read all the posts..... hope all are well and happy.
Am going to go stare at my clean carpet some more before my kids come home with their dirty feet.
