Fibromyalgia

Careful_with_that_Axe

s/e. I have tried heat rubs, but for some reason they don't work on me. I have some heat pad wheat bad type thingie for the microwave and will sort those out soon.
Bless him to T/S for thinking to ask you, and yes, we all could do with some Gorm.
My scissors are never where I leave them - I blame the cat :rolleyes:
It's funny how our parents leave their mark on us in both negative and positive ways. An american friend of mine has a lovely phrase for it - "I opened my mouth and my Mother spoke".

BZ - When you move in with OH perhaps you could think of getting married? Is this something you would consider? Only you've never brought the subject up

Pooh. I sometimes feel as though I have Cystitis when I plainly haven't and although it burns a little when I go, I'm absolutely fine afterwards.
I can feel I need to go to the loo and it's hardly worth it or I pee like a horse! No, not on all fours on the grass Thank you very much [EMAIL="wise@rses"]wise @rses[/EMAIL]
Got me thinking of a horse I had called Bluey. He was a very old man and used to not pee in his stable. When we let him out in the morning, he would go for hours, legs all akimbo, whilst grunting with pleasure (and, I'm sure) relief, and waving his front leg in the air. Oh, I loved that boy

Now, sheets in the washing machine and plates in the dishwasher - that right isn't it? Or is it the other way round?

Thank you. That sounds exactly like me.
I never have any idea whether I need to go or not, so just go when I think of it. Never know whether pain is IBS, because I need a wee, ovulation etc. too. In bed at night I try to decide if I need to get up or not, sometimes I do and sometimes I find I have got up for nothing. I discovered too that when on strong pain killers I don;t feel hungry, that is how I forget to eat.

Please, please take this as the joke that it is meant to be :grouphug: , but it has been said that you have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat :rotfl:

No worries mi'dear
Do you find that when you get... shall we say excited?... that you suddenly feel as though perhaps you may need to go? I can't work out whether it's in my nerves or in my head...?
I know what you mean about forgetting to eat - I either don't eat for *hours* or I eat everything!! ...as we saw the other day

Snork! I had some councelling a few years ago, when my job was about to disappear up the swannee, and I told her I had this fear of turning into my father - the addition to that statement though, was that I wasn't too keen on the idea of turning into my mother, either.

Not sure that idea's ever entered her head, CwtA.

Which is another thing that leads me to believe that fibro and similar problems are neurological in origin. I was referred to a Urologist some time ago for a similar problem - either a constant signal to go or no signal at all 'til my bladder was practically bursting, and she said it was probably brain damage in as much as the correct signals weren't getting through.

No, you've got 'em the wrong way round again.

My OH managed to blow up a wheat bag *ahem* when he was whining about his tooth ache :rolleyes: So if there are recommendations about adding water every 5 uses (or whatever it is) then I should heed it.

Am I missing something Gorm related here...?

Good Lord, that sounds horrendous! :pale:

I'd never thought about it Cwta... maybe I should give it some thought... discuss it with OH perhaps?
(Dammit, they're onto me!)

I think it's the other way round... but what do I know, I don't think I do either sometimes! :rolleyes:

Funny that. I've only ever dreamt of being the exact replica of half mother, half father...

Not sure that idea's ever entered her head, CwtA.

How much mileage d'you think you'll be able to get out of this one guys?

I can understand why/how you mich come to that hypothesis... I also wonder. I wonder it it's something to do with the nervous system - for instance, people with ME (as it technically refers to) have some kind of lump on the back of the next/top of the spine (which I think I actually do have but not everyone with dx'ed ME do) - now from my understanding and fading memory of anatomy - the nervous system core is within the spine... so I would suggest that it doesn't need to be a brain thing to affect nerves... presumably?

Oh, at least another foot or two. Hang on in there.

You have a point - although I have got neurological 'deficit' (apparently) there's also the fact that when I had the bleed, some of that ran down my spinal cord, so it could also be related to the CNS. Although it would be a bit difficult to seperate the two, I would have thought.

I don't even dare having orange squash sometimes, as I'm know I'll be humping up and down the stairs to the bathroom.

But of course. I would expect nothing else
