well, i guess what goes up, must come down,,, O.O

i definitely do NOT like my Pdoc. he's presumptuous, domineering and self-important. i am more and more convinced he's a sociopath. sadly, the agency for our 3 counties is eating him alive; he's lost too much weight and looks like someone beat him with an Ugly Stick. i'd feel sorry for him if his incompetence wasn't making so many other people suffer.

he was 40 minutes late, and i ride the little bus,, by the time i got to the stop and waited, my back was screaming at me, and my feet were singing harmony....
i just promised Jan i would check in, but the site has been down.... so i'm off to my soft and cozy...

Oh my goodness, Gus! I'm horrified about your pdoc! I wish so much you were not stuck with him! Did he give you your medicine, at least? Are you feeling any better?

I didn't know anyone outside of WV knew the term, ugly stick!

Hi Trav, it's good to see you!

Christina, my heart just breaks for you. I hope the anger finds someway to leave you.

Liz, thank you for being a pocket rider. I really appreciate it!

I went to the eye Dr. He examined both of them over and over again. I just bought new glasses in Sept. that I couldn't afford,and I told him I couldn't see at all out of them. I was just sure he was going to tell me something awful was happening to me.

The first thing he told me is that both eyes are infected again.That goes with the Sjogren's.

Then he told me that my eye sight in both eyes has mysteriously changed to 20/20 vision! I normally have terrible eye sight. I almost fell out of the chair! I have been wearing glasses since I was 8 or 9 years old. I prayed fervently to not have glasses because they got in the way of climbing trees and hanging upside down and all the other things tomboys do. Now, after all these years, I don't need glasses except to read. I feel so weird without them and it reinforced my belief in miracles.

Today Belle and I went for a walk and a giant dog swooped in on us. She got in front of me and started growling at him. I grabbed her and held her high, but he seemed pretty friendly so I lowered her head a little bit. She promptly bent down and licked his nose! I sat her down but was so afraid he'd eat her for a snack, but he was gentle with her. I patted him and he went home and Belle thought she was very brave!

The Fibromyalgia check in thread #3

thanks for sharing little miss Belle with us, Jan~!

i have to get to the pharmacy for my med (all i use is valium, and that mostly for restless legs ,, i saw an OTC med last time i was at the market, so i can 'outlast' that doc... he's doomed to early burnout)
, of course nothing works on Thursday,,,, so i'm giving myself a long weekend~!

i hope you all manage to avoid singeing your feathers this Thanksgiving~! i tend to have my holiday dinners a few days before or after D-Day, to avoid that 'alone' feeling. this year i had a crab for dinner, and angel food cake~

I love your rose pics, Gus. Thank you. I hope all goes well at the pharmacy. I'm glad you enjoyed your dinner. I've been living on biscuits and dry toast but I bought some food to cook on Thanksgiving. Of course, Belle will have to have a tiny taste of everything!

I'm up really early. I have to have a liver ultrasound this morning and have to be there at 8:45. It's a long drive. Of course, I have to be NPO and I actually woke up thirsty and hungry. I'm never hungry! So it goes.

We've already reached the high for the day and it's now down to 42. It's going down from there, so I'll have to dress warmly. After the ultrasound I need to drive to the opposite end of the valley and get a new driver's license with the paper my eye Dr. gave me which states I don't need glasses to drive. Surely it won't be crowded this time of morning at the DMV. The last time I had to go there I had to wait 3 1/2 hours to be served. Anyway, I'm taking pocket riders with me this morning. I need you.

Be safe today. Love to all!

I guess I shall join the tense muscles bandwagon, after last werk’s pseudo seizure. I am learning to recognize my muscles and work at relaxing them. Also letting my tongue relax! and let my teeth stop grinding.

Gus, thanks for all the updates on you. I can commiserate with the new pdoc thing... ugh. I’ve had one meeting with her and we both knew within ten minutes it’s not going to work.

I’m glad you posted. It helps to know it’s possible and to remind us all that good moments can/do happen and to rejoice in them.

Ladies, what I'm going to post probably belongs in the abuse forum, but I don't know people there. Y'all are my support group. I'm coming apart and the seams and hope posting about it will help.

Am going to put the majority of the post in a trigger box because of the content. Please, please PLEASE be careful. Am going to talk about s** abuse.

Possible trigger:

Liz, you are so dear to me. I'm sorry you are hurting and I am sitting with you.

I have a suggestion. Print what you have just written and hand it to your pdoc. It's a start in the process of stopping the pain.

The Fibromyalgia check in thread #3

{{{{{{{{{{{{ LIZ~!!! }}}}}}}}}}}}}
you are not alone. i don't talk about the times it's happened to me, because i just don't want to dwell on the memories. and actually, a lot worse things happened to me, so i have had to learn to handle rage and grief and outrage over the years. in a way, a loved one died, YOU, the innocent and safe and secure you.

i don't think Pdocs are therapists, i wouldn't talk to one about strong emotions, cause most of them want to drug you. that is no solution. take small bites, this is a great first step~! only talk about it when and where and with who you feel safe. and give yourself permission to go slow: look at your memories and feelings from afar, then let them in a little closer.

there's plenty of stuff to trouble us in the present, it's hard to drag the past up and deal with it at the same time~

Gus has given you far wiser advice than I did.
A therapist would be better.

I am still sitting with you and we all love you.

I have a very unusual pdoc. He can fit a therapy session in a 15 minute med check. He's also unusual in that he doesn't push meds. Yep, I'm on meds for depression, but we worked together as a team to find what works for me. I love (not in a s*xual way) him.

Thanks for the support ladies.

(((( Liz )))) safe hugs if you want them.
I’ve not read it yet, minding the trigger warning (thank you for that), but will after the whole Thanksgiving thing.
Sending you support and I’m glad you feel safe here to post.

I hope all of you have had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Belle and I have had a very good one. I cooked dinner and didn't set off the smoke detector even once! I have one that goes off if you brown your toast too much.

I'm not sure I told you, and if I have already forgive me, but when I went to the eye Dr. he discovered that my eyes have changed to 20/20 vision in each of them! No wonder I couldn't see out of my glasses. I've worn glasses since I was about 8 and my vision was bad, especially in the left eye. He can't explain it. I know that miracles happen sometimes, and this is one. I'm still floating on clouds over it.

Love to each of you!

Liz- I validate you. All of it. The “letting”, the thoughts of why you took it on. The being angry these last few months. The part that holds the memory, and the dream... the anger at the ‘“president” for his words.
You’re doing right; doing what you can; look at it as you can. Maybe it surfacing means now it’s time. Of course only you can ultimately make that decision.

Courage to you, and I hold gratitude that you chose to write about it here. This is a safe landing space.
