Hi Bluestone, and Redtail,

I wanted to second what Bluestone said, about rest.

I used to try to push myself... but that was a bad idea because I'd get into much worse pain and be hardly able to move.

Now I just rest. I mean serious rest.

I've often noticed that I'm best in the morning when I first get up, then as the day wears on, especially if there's stress, I'm more and more bent over (I had tetanus.)

Recently I was looking at an old medical certificate my doctor filled out for the electric company, and she wrote that I have fibro. I don't remember her telling me that.

But there for awhile I wasn't remembering very well.

In any case, she gave me a prescription for a shot a day of b12 for a year... and when I began to use it, it helped . . . nearly miraculously. (I didn't use it sooner because I'd never heard of anyone taking that much, so I thought she'd made a mistake. I was too sick to go back... I've hardly been out of the house for years.)

Here's a link to a thread that has some really hope inspiring accounts in it:

and here's a link to a newspaper article from England that I find inspiring, and MAJOR hopeful:
