Welcome to the Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Forum!

I wondered if you might like to have a daily/weekly check in thread to see how everyone is doing?

If so, let's start one. I myself haven't been dx'd with either but I do have MS so I do have chronic fatigue associated with MS.

How is everyone? I would like to get to know you!

Hey, Cheryl! I have a half-sister by that name. Very pretty. I'm sorry that you are feeling sick right now. I have very little knowledge of MS, but I am quite familiar with CFS and FMS. Both conditions are secondary ones for me, sort of like for you. My primary illness still hasn't been diagnosed, even after six years, twenty-seven doctor and specialists, and seven different hospitals. Right now there are two theories about my condition. One is that I suffer from a rare muscle disease, and the other is that I'm a victim of spreading nerve damage.

I think a weekly check-in is a good idea, especially if enough people get involved. It promotes a sense of comraderie and caring. I really do hope that everyone is having a good week this week, because we all know how these things come and go. Good luck and best wishes to you all!

Hi Cheryl!!! Fancy meeting you here! Yes, it probably would be a good idea to have a check-in as this board can be really slow. Thanks for trying and taking the time!

CHERYL!! Or Flygirl (FG) as those who know her, like to call her. Great idea. Sorry I'm a lil late at seeing this thread, but I was away last wkend.

My FM has been acting up alot lately, but the weather has been flip flopping from damp and cool to sunny and warm. Nothing consisitant, so my body is not amused.

Hope others will check in too. Have a good day everyone!!

Well, I see this check in idea is real popular! Come on you guys....let's get going! It's been almost a month since any of you checked in!

Do I have to crack the whip!!!

How are you all doing?

Hi. I've been on the board for about 1 week. I'm a 36 year old wife and mother. I have a wonder husband and an awesome daughter. They are my rock..my life raft. Also, look forward to reading the board at night for new posts, etc.

Hi, I'm new to this site. Love it. Hope everyone is having a better week. I'm trying to file for disability thru my employer, at their suggestion, due to injury from work & fibro preventing me from being able to work. problem is my dr doesn't want to deal with it, so info she submitted was very limited & resulted in denial which I am appealing, at the suggestion of the case manager. All very frustrating, which doesn't help us, we know.
I'm going in armed with info tomorrow to see the dr & hopefully will be able to open their eyes about this. They have been my dr for 4 yrs, you'd think they'd have a clue!

anyway have a good week, all. Judy

I've been lurking for days...hurts to much to sit...I'm having a horrible time right now. I know it will get better, always does...Hugs to you all

I have both fms and cfids. I'm currently in a flare of symptoms that include migraines also. Weather changes and unusual stress probably triggers this time.

Hugs to us all that deal with this.

I have also kinda been hiding for days. My level is so not being nice right now that I have been shaking and my muscles feel like they are very weak and wanna give out. I've been having a hard time just walking. Just 1 more weak this I go to the Neurologist. Yahoo....May their can help.
