There was a t...I think it is a stage we go through. There was a time I was much more vocal about how I was feeling (or hurting). I have a wonderful group of friend of whom most had fibro, but all are dealing with health challenges. It is so wonderful and comfortable to be with them as we can say how we're feeling, and everyone does understand, and then we go on with life. When we go out with each other there is never a feeling of slowing people down, or tiring out too soon as we're all in the same situation. It is such a joy.<br /><br />I do hope you can soon find the right treatment for you that will help you get to a managing stage versus the pain 99% of the time stage. I have been able to manage mine quite well for the last 12 years, staying mostly in lilac. Before that I was amethyst all the way.<br /><br />How about creating some new dreams? When one door closes another opens. For me, God opened some great doors for me, bringing new friends into my life and new opportunities that I would otherwise never have had. We can and need to grieve our losses, then look forward to new and wonderful things that are out there for us.B J Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794303870977230569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505202305821415305.post-69254068909243825142012-04-27T19:17:01.276-07:002012-04-27T19:17:01.276-07:00Haven, that really hit a nerve for me.

I guess it didnt ever hit me that they only me as I am now. It makes me sad to think that they will never know the "real" me, either.Katenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505202305821415305.post-31256945462690212552012-04-27T17:41:07.419-07:002012-04-27T17:41:07.419-07:00This is exactly me. I don't tell most people ...This is exactly me. I don't tell most people so I imagine they think I'm just anti-social. My daughter finally asked me to stop talking about it. I was trying to tell her about the REAL me she never knew. It was just upsetting her and making her sad. She didn't understand why I could be in pain and happy. I explained the many things that make me happy. That helped her so much. Thanks for sharing. HavenHavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12980883030870157478noreply@blogger.com
