Hi Everyone

[Momster]

As usual, I'm WAY behind on the posts. What a bad Momster, eh?

I'm battling some strange malady - extreme fatigue, pain all over, lack of energy and feeling very stressed. I don't know if it's the fibro or???

The Dr. sent me for blood tests and urinalysis last week and I'm going in a couple of hours to get the results.

Anyway, I haven't felt much like socializing and have sort of isolated myself. I know that's not good, but all I feel like doing is curling up in bed and throwing the covers over my head.

One plus is that I've been sleeping a lot and that's wonderful after years of sleep deprivation, so am enjoying that.

Anyway, I think of all of you often and care about how you are.

To those who are new to the site, welcome and I know you will enjoy the support of many wonderful, knowledgeable people here.

I'll let you all know what the Dr. says. Will get back to you in a few hours.

Love - Momster.

Hi Momster!

In case you didn't see my post below, I'm engaged! Geoff finally broke down and bought me a ring .

Thats the newest with me. Hope you find out what is causing this recent change in your well being. After all you've gone through to get the new knee and all, you ought to be given a break so you can enjoy the knee and get out and do!

Hi Momster....It good to see you on the board. It sounds to me a bit like depression. I certainly hope that the Doctor finds out the problem. Don't stay away...the people here are great. I have been a bit negative with all that's happening to me but I would be lost without everne here. We Miss you, Love Oma

Hi Mom!

Hope you feel better soon! It sure was great to see you last weekend. You come here when you want and don't feel bad about not socializing...I get the same way at times. Like mother, like daughter?



Love

Just got back from the Dr. And they don't have the results of the blood tests back yet. She says she thinks I shouldn't have stopped taking pain meds so suddenly and wants me to go back on them. She feels the pain is sapping my strength. Anyway, will go back on them and see how I feel and will wait to hear from her when she gets the lab results back.
She did mention the possibility of depression also and says that could have been caused by an accumulation of all of 2005's events, going off the pain meds and starting a diet. The diet is going successfully and I've lost 13lb. and feeling good about that, but my Dr. says not to be too drastic all at once by cutting off my pain meds at the same time. Says pain can put an awful lot of stress on the body.
Anyway, I've taken some (reg. strength acetaminophen with codeine) and will see how I feel.
I just felt I had been taking too many pills and wanted to try weaning myself off them. Can't be good for the body to been on pain meds for two years.

It's been tiring just going to the Dr. so I'm off for a rest.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Love - Momster
