I wonder why

it is that no one can really understand this thing called Fibromyalgia. Even though I was diagnosed with it just a couple months ago, I still associate it with the stigma of not believing it is real some days. Some times I find myself wondering if it really isnt just a catch all phrase that drs use when they don't really know what is wrong with you and then on my bad days, I find myself believing that it must really be a real disease.

I haven't had a pain free day since September 2007. It started with a charley horse at bedtime. It sent me to neurologists, neuromuscular surgeons, rheumatologist and pain clinics.

I had to laugh at my last rheumy visit when she said to me "Usually when people tell me they have tried everything, I know there are many things yet for them to try. But you, you REALLY have tried it all." And yet nothing works to help this pain, nothing.

I find myself dreading bedtime. The pain is more intense then. Resltess legs you say, drs didn't think so but did try me on the Requip.

Here's hoping tomorrow will be a good day. See you then,
Bonnie
