Top Ten things only people Autoimmune Disease or Fibromyalgia will understand



1) When you wake up in the morning, you feel more like a dizzy 2x4 than a human being


2) "Jump out of bed" =  lol




3) You are Psychic : You know when it's going to rain or snow before the weather channel



4) At least once, a sick spouse or friend has said to you "well at least you're USED to this! I feel awful!"
We get used to it now?!




5) At least one medical professional has advised you that all you need to do is "get more sleep and excercise'" to feel better. HA!!  Bonus if you have been informed that its "all in your head".




6) Whenever you see a Lyrica commercial, you can't help laughing the ridiculous  "amazing results" they promise.

Lyrica Commercial that is a tad more honest about the horrible side effects.  They still don't mention that the benefits only last about a month for most people.  }:o(

happy-women-running_151161516
Not.

7) When you are able to speak in full, complete sentences with no grammatical or vocabulary errors, and maybe even some wit or humour thrown in, you stop and think "wow, did I just say that?! woohoo!!"




8) You can't drink an alcoholic beverage without falling asleep within 10 minutes
 

9) The first 3 hours of the day are still technically called 'waking up'




10) You understand what is important in life; the little joys, the small successes... like going to the store without feeling like you're going to pass out, wearing high heels without pain, or having just one pain-free hour in a week.

  6. Just found you by chance from a Homeschool Teaching site and laughed out loud at ALL of these! I still can't figure out the 3-8 hours it takes me to "wake up" every day? I am a former HS teacher, swim coach, & Adult Online GED teacher that has signed up to follow your blog. I so feel for you, as I have all your same dx's...with the added bonus of brain lesions & O-bands that just throws a DX off--apparently scientifically the Dr's do not believe you can have both MS & Lupus all though all blood work, signs, & symptoms are present)-- even after visiting the Mayo Clinic in MN from FL every 6 months for 1 1/2 years & doing a year of IV Cytoxan, I was just told my case is very complicated & left with a bunch of labels. But, hey, I can't complain now, b/c I'm writing this now (even if I don't remember it tomorrow;), I know who & where I am, I can walk again without falling over every minute (I've PROUDLY dared wearing an old favorite pair of healed flip-flops once since 2007), & have a wonderful, empathetic, & caring 11 year old daughter & dh. Sorry to hijack your great TOP TEN list; just wanted to introduce myself. I used to be an active Spoony member on the Lupus Yahoo group~ my screen name was MSLuped. Great to meet you & look forward to following your blog.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the list... my goal is to make people laugh :) Check out the archive, especially the helminithic therapy posts, as someone with MS, you will probably find them very interesting! Nice to meet you, and thanks so much for following =D

  10. Searching for natural ways to get rid of my fibroids was not easy. I saw several advertisements of all kinds of treatments to shrink fibroids. I was a little skeptical but I was desperate to get rid of the fibroids so I tried one in particular which didn’t work. I was still having heavy painful bleeding with lots of clots. I noticed that the soreness in my breast was gone, but after going for another scan, I was told that my fibroids were still there. I was so discouraged that I scheduled an appointment with my doctor to discuss other possibilities for removing the fibroids. About two months later, while surfing on the internet I saw a post on Facebook talking about how to get rid of fibroid naturally without surgery with the help of (DR JIM Herbal Medicine). I was very skeptical about it. I didn’t even bother to contact the Dr Email that was written below the comment in the post. Two days later, as I sat alone in the sitting room feeling hopeless about my fibroid, I decided to go on Facebook and see if I can still access the post I saw two days earlier so i can get the Email and contact the Dr because i felt this is my only hope, thank God I was able to get it. I reluctantly gave the Dr Natural product a try and contacted him via Email ( drjimsolutioncenter@gmail.com ) …it just made sense after one week of using the herbal medicine it was like a miracle i could not hold my joy i immediately ran to the hopital for text and behold my Doctor said its no more. On September17 of 2016, so since then I began to share alot of problem like fibromyalgia with Dr JIM and promise to drop his Email: Drjimsolutioncenter@gmail.com and WhatsApp +2348100368288 so others can benefit from his herbal medicine.
    Good luck on your journey!

  11. "DR WILLIAMS, I wish to praise you for sharing such a simple but comprehensive herbal medication to tackle this pain from the root. This is truly a valuable resource for all men and woman suffering from fibromyalgia. It's been almost 10 months since my doctor first diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. My doctor suggested that I will try watchful waiting but as the months went nothing has changed.

    As soon as I decided I'm going all the way and treat my fibromyalgia, I ordered Dr Williams and the results as you already know were shocking to say the least. The result I took clearly showed my fibromyalgia had completely vanished.

    I have even encouraged my "Doubting Thomas" friend to order it and read it too. To have so much good information in one tight package is an unbelievable value. I would encourage anyone who suffers from fibromyalgia and/or any joint stiffness issue to take advantage of Dr Williams herbal medicine! you can contact him through his email on drwilliams098675@gmail.com for more information

    Sincerely...

  12. Dr Williams,his medicine was extremely helpful to my daughter. I have had a daughter with fibromyalgia for 21 years now , and my doctor have prescribe me with different kinds of western drugs without no improvement in my daughter symptoms . I am so glad I have found Dr Williams medicine (as I was surfing the net for a solution and saw a recommendation for it on a women's health forum early this year). I have felt so empowered by the knowledge you have given me and I quickly self diagnosed the individual cause of my daughter fibromyalgia and armed with his clear instructions, I was finally able to beat this monster, in less than 4 weeks of using dr Williams medication on my daughter. she went for a checkup and it was clear that my daughter fibromyalgia were gone,you can also email him on drwilliams098675@gmail.com for help.

    Thank you, thank you , thank you. Dr Williams "

  13. CURE TO FIBROMYALGIA WITHOUT ANY SIDE EFFECT: My husband was diagnosed with fibromyalgia . My husbad fibromyalgia was something i don't understand he cry so bad that he was usually in bed for about 8 hours and soreness killers (even prescription strength) don't stop the weakness of the joint, even if he take triple the dosage. my husband symptoms was really so terrible,that we have to make hospital our home, and all the doctors would do is monitor it, prescribe him countless of control pills and pain medication with no positive result. until recently I contacted a Doctor who put an end to this problem. If you are having same problem with fibromyalgia contact Dr. William for advice and possible solution without any side effect (drwilliams098675@gmail.com

  16. As a sign of gratitude for how my son was saved from fibromyalgia , i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
    My son suffered fibromyalgia in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he always complain of joint stiffness, and he always have difficulty falling asleep . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to fibromyalgia . I never imagined fibromyalgia has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my son will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my son used it and in one months time he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life. fibromyalgia has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication.

  30. Hello everyone, how are you all doing today? i just had to drop this here because i think it is important.
    I was told that i will never have a child again just becaue i was having fibroid and ovarian cysts.
    Fibroids are abnormal growths that develop in or on a woman's uterus. Sometimes these tumors become quite large and cause severe abdominal pain and heavy periods, pelvic pain, miscarriages. In other cases, they cause no signs or symptoms at all. The growths are typically benign, or noncancerous.But With LEETU Herbal Medication, This will Be completely cured,,,,Remember surgery does not remove or cure Fibroid COMPLETELY. Contact DR LEETU on how to remove your fibroid with herbal medicine without any complications (DRLEETU9999@GMAIL.COM) or reach him on viber or whatsapp on +8615802318178 and be free from fibroids. He also specializes in the cure of pcos, Endometriosis, ovarian cysts and other infections..
