I went to the neurologist yesterday...The nurse was a nice lady.
Her and i started talking after she asked me about my last surgery.
I just had rotater cuff repair last july,anyway,i told her my diagnosis is fibro...

She then says she has it also,i gave her my heart felt sympathies!

She then starts tellin me she takes nothing....How she just learns to cope with it and ride out the pain!How she is just too young to start on a cocktail of meds..
I was amazed!!!I have decreased the amount of ultram i take everyday recently,but i still "need" it.
I substitute with ibuprofen on the days i don't take as much..Because i still require"something.

I don't like it when people judge me.i was trying real hard to hush the voices in my head though...As i was feeling like a quitter,from the way she was describing her life compared to what i had been through...Especially here the past few months!
I thought maybe i am doing something wrong.She then says,she doesn't exercise nor eat right,so i started thiking,she must not be as bad off as i was and some of the people i have talked to.Like i said:i don't like to judge or compare pain,yet i was feeling like such a quitter for what i have to do in order to "just get by"...
When i left i was thinking about all she said...She said the lady she saw b4 me also had fibro and was on "a bunch" of meds.She said"she refuses to start taking a cocktail of pills at such a young age...
I just wish she would have kept all the other info to herself.
If i felt like that,i thought about what the lady b4 me felt like!
I know how to calm those voices in my head.I know i'm not a quitter.
I have been fighting for a long time and am just now learning to accept what this life has dealt me!
I know she should have worded things different.
I know i am taking what "i need" to take and theres nothing wrong with it!
I just really wondered about the lady b4 me...
