Re: Hi again

Hence while you will want to read more on this and explore it.

I hope it's just your thyroid so you can come back here and post about it.

Thank you...I do those things with him but he's a hyper little boy lol

We do a lot of reading but he does love to be at the park playing.
Unfortunately, I usually end up being a watcher instead of a
participant. He really enjoys feeding the ducks so at least I can do
that much with him.

Hi Amilee. You are a part of a group here who understands your own
frustrations and constant pain, and the fatigue which prevents you
from effectively interacting with your child. What you can't do in
"action", Amilee, you can show your toddler love with a touch, a
hug, a good book and lying down beside him/her at times, saying,
"Mommy is tired; let's take a nappy time".

I'm different from some of the people on AMF, in that "avoiding" the
word Fibromyalgia to the medical field or friends/family because
they may "tag" us as neurotic, whiny, out of touch with reality,
etc. etc. doesn't hold up to me any longer! I have an FM awareness
bumper sticker on my car; and by god, I WILL say the word
Fibromyalgia when and as often as I deem it necessary. It is
nothing to be ashamed of. The shame should be to the one(s) who
call us names and ridicule us because they are too ignorant to be
informed! Welcome to AMF! Nanny

Hi all,

I posted a while ago, probably some time back in Oct or Nov of last
year, I dunno, memory fuzzy!

Anyway, my doctor referred me to a rheumy finally after me asking a
few times. Fortunately, I work in the hospital and I was able to
be there for an appointment when someone didn't show up for theirs
(wait list here is longer than a year...and some docs is 3 1/2
years) Anyway, at the time I was feeling pretty good (seems like I have
been feeling a bit better this past summer) so mostly I complained
of the fatigue. My reasoning for fatigue being my biggest concern
was that I can somehow DEAL with the pain but the fatigue prevents
me from doing things with my toddler and that is the most important
thing to me. Anyway, because I felt the fatigue was the worse
thing, the rheumy is "leaning more towards a diagnosis of CFS". The
words the rheumy said "I don't like using the word
Fibromyalgia" did not instill confidence in me anyway. (But then
proceeded to give me information about Fibromyalgia??) None of the
rheumatologists in my city see FMS patients outside their initial
consult. So fine, I started hoping that maybe, just maybe I didn't have
FMS
and there was another reason for all these problems that are
cropping up with me. The rheumy told me to exercise in small
spurts so I joined a gym and I really felt good. That is, up until
a week ago. Now my joints feel stiff again, just like before the
summer. The colder Fall weather is starting here. Even my fingers
wrinkle up really gross when they are exposed to this Fall-ish
weather we've been having. To make a short story long, I am posting here
to ask about other's
experience with tinnitus associated with FMS. Just about 3 weeks
ago I started getting a constant humming in my ear that is driving
me CRAZY!!!! Is this possibly related to FMS?

As well, I have had mysterious small lumps appear on my legs and
one arm (not big enough to see but I can feel them with my finger.)
I don't think this is related to FMS but I thought I should ask
some seasoned FMS'ers in here about their experiences.

I recently read Cheeky *** talking something about FMS and how
he now knows he doesn't have it. I may have missed a lot over the
last 8 or 9 months, but I'm wondering how you found out that you
had a thyroid-related disorder (not sure if I am right about that
or if it was something else) What tests did you have to get to
confirm this newer diagnosis? I am willing to accept FMS if I
really need to, but I want to rule out anything else (maybe me
trying to convince myself that I have something wrong that can be
corrected) Nobody understands when I tell them that I have FMS and I
really
hate to explain it.

Thanks for listening,
Amilee
