I was diagnosed with CFIDS in 1990 (after getting ill in 1989) and had a double-whammy with fibro and pancreatitis (post cholecysttectomy, no stones) in1994. I've had episodic pancreatitis and was hopsitalized in ICU in 2000 after I was given Sulfa. The docs have never figured out why I have pancreatitis, they *figure* it is autoimmune-related at this point. But I've never heard anyone else with CFIDS/fibro mention pancreatitis. Thanks for being such an outstanding person and a crusader for those of us with fibro!!Wild Angel Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04974810963808453203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505202305821415305.post-67086518915385996282010-11-30T11:25:11.894-08:002010-11-30T11:25:11.894-08:00I find a FEW true are worth far more than MANY sur...I find a FEW true are worth far more than MANY surface relationships. Not everyone is going to understand, that is what family is for! LOL But friends, you choose, and if they are not supportive I believe it is time to move on...!

Because I'm not the same person as before and have limits that strike whenever they freakin feel like, I've lost some friends. <br />I feel they think I fake some things. One ex-bestfriend in so many words accused me of having flare-ups at just the right times...NO ONE BUT US AND THOSE VERY CLOSE will ever understand. They aren't there when I'm throwing up every other day, or on the bathroom floor in so much pain my husband can't do anything but rub my back or ankle. <br />No one sees us up all night, short of risking death by taking so many sedatives. It almost seems like our brains don't register some things. Right now, I'm up at almost 5am after no sleep. I took my max on sedatives and lay there. <br />And we learn to hide things sometimes, don't we? We learn to push ourselves to do things when we have to; then we 'pay for it' soon after.<br />I guess this is when we learn who really cares enough to learn what exactly we're going through and be there when we need help.

Thank you so much for sharing! My story mirr...Leah,<br />Thank you so much for sharing! My story mirrors your in many ways. Your positive perspective has halped me adjust my "tude" several times. It's so easy to take the low road and get bogged down. I am determined to live my life as an example to those around me, healthy included! It is my hope that they see that even though life circumstances may be hard, it how we handle it and choose to live that matter. We can choose to have a positive "tude"!!! Thank you again for sharing!! Keep up the wonderful work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
