hello to all. I have been reading your posts for over 2 months now and it has been wonderfluu to not feel so alone w/ thisI have sufferd form fibro, si jiont dissfuntion coxidinia and bursitis for ovewr 2 yrs. now.i honestly cant remeberwhat it was like before this happened to me. thank god i was lucky and found a commpationate doctor who didnt dissmiss me b/c of my age i am only 34. The pain w/ this winter being so extremly cold( in the teens or below) has caued me severe pain. He put me on something called actiq and it has been a god send for the days when i cant do anything but lay on the couch and cry. jusst thought i would passs this on if it may help anyone its not as strong as a duragesic patch and less of a pain ithe @#$! your posts give me hope and make me feel as if i am not abnormall. befor this awfull thing hit me i led a full life and a fast paced one and it all came to a screeching halt. I lost the man i loved appaarentlly he didnt love me enough to be there no producing no me simple as that. blessing in disguise i guess.my mother has been my only constant support and even corrosponds w/ my doctor. thank you all again so much for sharing and wittessa you are a wealth of info god bless you and everyone. have a great winter and look foward to the sun shinning again and remeber who we were before our illness is still who we are now with a few adjustments the body is a vessle only for our everlasting spirits. on bad days remeber that.
love to all
