I wish I could say something good, but heck, I'm not coping right now either. I'm looking on getting out of school because I just can't do it right now. But I don't know what to do with myself if I don't go to school, but I've been to school twice in the past two weeks and I was missing classes...

I still don't understand how I went around in an 7-8 in pain constantly without painkillers at all. I took some paracetamol occasionally but beyond the two times I was at the ER and got codeine I never got any heavier painkillers. Me, I got fibromyalgia, potential IBS making me nauseous when...

Fibromyalgia is more or less just generalized pain. Mine comes with RA-like symptoms (stiffness in hands and other joints) but also, when I was unmedicated, on a scale of one to ten I was in a near 7-8 of constant pain of very many different kinds. I slept a lot, I was tired all the time, I get...

Umm... *awkward* well yeah I kind of did get an account just to post in this thread. I just got invested in an Internet stranger. You just seem so sweet and kind and I feel so bad for you. I care about you, Mr Showerhead! (I still can't get over how weird it is to type that!) I hope you get a...

I'm so sorry for butting into your thread, Koski, but man. I just want to give you a hug Mr Showerhead. I'm Koski's best friend and I too am suffering from chronic illness, but I've still not quite accepted it. Of course, I didn't get anything as cool and provable as an actual auto-immune...
