Finally diagnosed

Post a new topicby dart on Fri Jan 23, 2009 12:37 am

It has been about a year of chronic pain and fatigue. The only advice from my dr. is exercise 40mg Prozac and activity. I know there has to be more that I can do to feel better. My husband understands nothing and even questions the diagnosis. He tells me he is in pain everyday nut I don't hear him complaining. Just looking for advice and tips to get to a better place mentally and physically.

I really feal sorry for you Ive got a wife that understands and goes that extra mile for me she is awsome.find a support group and make your husband go he might just learn something.The pain is real,the futigue is real,and to get out and walk and try to do what you can just seams to tear you down that much more.Ive been fighting this curse for about 13 years and i get do feed up some time i just want to give up but my wife picks me up and dusts me off and we fight another round.I would not want to be fighting your battle and your husbands dissbeleave i lust got over a attact i was in bed for 6 weeks and could not belive how bad on person could hurt.Iam a 50 year old man that went from a genearl manager of a trucking company that worked 85 to 93 hours a week to nothing Im a man that knows hard work and loved it and now all i can do is try to help people deal with this dreedful thing they have haunting them.mine has got to a point to where i forget how to spell i quit talking in the middle of a sentance.I know what your going through and i feel for you and i hope the best for you GOD BLESS YOU RALPH PELKEY
