lol duncan.... thanks for asking. hate to say it but i still feel like crap..... i walked in there this week and basically said the heck with it. im not going to waste my time or my breath on this man. part of it was i was dragging my tail so badly i was lucky to get in there at all. i just didnt need the stress of it all. no i havent found a new dr. and at this point im not hunting. its just one more thing to do with an already overloaded work schedule while im trying to feel better. adds stress that i just cant afford right now. fibro is beating me up already and the stress adds to that fight too. i have to pick my battle wisely right now and hes just not worth it.... now if he chooses to bring the subject up i will have no choice but to go at it with him but for now hes keeping his mouth shut and so am i. i know im being totally stupid..... hugh
It's not stupid, you have to take care of yourself - don't bother with his (the doc's) opinion, you don't need it anyway. If it keeps a bit of stress out of your life it's worth not picking a fight with him about it.
thanks rosa....... i just really feel like im not sticking up for myself right now when i should be. i should be marching in there and saying read this stuff and get back to me when ur done....lol. i guess im just on overload. but at the same time i feel like ive chickened out.
btw..... how the heck do u get to all these threads like u do. u always know when we have posted. do u have a secret???? u are everywhere and always with the right kind of support. still think we should star the rosa fan club. hehe

Hey I didnt know about the fibro, jeez I feel your pain. I am going through testing to find out exactly why my legs pack up and ache 24hrs a day since age 10, and I have a friend with ME, this sort of thing is SO underestimated and its like the 'invisible disease'.
Hang in there dinky, you're not being stupid sometimes its just easier to ignore the idiots and let them get to sleep at night with their own inadequacies
PS - when I quit the fags (first time ever since starting as a really young kid) I found an extra bit of energy and a bit less pain, did you notice anything similar?
no still have the pain and btw i have ME too. just adds to the fun. i hope the dr is able to get to the bottom of what is wrong with u. i love ur sense of humor..... lol
Ah really its just little voices in my head that get me through days of not moving around very far, I'm glad you enjoy it though
Sorry to hear you have ME too, wifey cared for a lady with ME and I got to learn a bit about it, not good. She does drink a fair bit 'to ease the pain' but IMO I think she may not be helping herself as drinking causes all sorts of weird pains to add to the mix. I used to drink spirits all day every day to get through working full time, then wifey made me turn to the doctors and they put me on tramadol - nuff said I'm now a zombie!
Love and big hugs to you coming across the pond
Dinky, I have Fibro too (diagnosed 17 yrs ago, but symptoms tracked back as far as I can remember) and I switched to e-cigs a year and 9 months ago. Since then I haven't flared nearly as often as I used to, when I get a cold it doesn't turn into a 3 month bout of bronchitis, and I have more energy. If I spend a day out shopping I now come home and take a 4 hour nap instead of being out of commission for 2 days. It took a while for me to notice a difference and I've did have 1 horrible flare after my hubby almost died from an aortic dissection, had surgery that took a long time to recover from, and I had to do all of the heavy lifting (anything over 7 lbs he couldn't lift) for a few months. But the effort of taking care of him, the house, the kids, the cats, and dealing with the stress really messed me up. The good thing is I still managed not to smoke because of this wonderful invention. Plus, the extra lung capacity means I can chase down our new puppies when they are getting into something they shouldn't or don't want to come inside. I hope you see some of the same improvements once you've been vaping a while.
Hi Moonflame I'm glad someone else noticed the energy peak from e-cigs / cutting cigs out, I thought I was imagining it!
I hope dinky notices some benefit soon

So true.
I had to tell my dr that Chantrix and Wellbutrin were contraindicated with a medication I was already on.
no drinking is not going to help her at all. well sometimes the little voices are the only co we have lol. back at u from across the pond.
thanks for the support moonflame. yes this illness is a super big juggleing act for sure. and u are right. stressers like that really set us back. im glad ur life has improved since ur ecig.
hows it hanging dinky? Was thinking about you today when going through my medicine chest, came across some vitamin b12 - very good for absorbtion. I don't know if you take it or have tried it but if you're feeling 'clogged' up then a few healthy meals swallowed down with a b12 pill will help to flush out your nasties and absorb the good stuff.
I'm not really a vitamin junkie lol! I took my first ever vitamin last year and if i take one in a month that would be a shock, I just have a few which are good for certain things (like sex drive etc lol) - ps have some zinc, eat lots of cabbage, ah I just want to hug you!
It's horrid spending most of every day sat or laid down, I don't know how I'm not mahoosively overweight!

yes im taking the b12 duncan and multi vit etc. im afraid nothing is helping right now. i seem to be getting rid of the quit zits but my energy level is in the toilet. im not feeling the least bit better. in fact i may be feeling a bit worse. havent talked to that dr again about the e cigs. just too tired to give a darn right now. maybe someday. right now i just want to feel alive....
Have you tried some Swedish Snus? Before you go back to cigs, see if the additional MAOI's in snus added to the vaping will help.
Also, read this thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-nicotine-absorption-addictiveness-maois.html

My doc seemed to think the Wellbutrin mixed with the zoloft (I already take) would be a great alternative to adding a little boost from the lack of Maoi's. He said the shrink drs call the combination "Well-Off" and often use it to give people a boost.
because of my current health issues, I already battle the 'blahs' (as I call them) The exhaustion and lack of energy is a constant battle. I've been diddling around with vitamins to try and get all that I can on my own. I take a b-12 complex and there is an "Energy Vitamin" supplement offered at our local Smoothie store. It's quite expensive, but it has a combination of all the vitamins and supplements that are supposed to help. In the past, I never put much faith in vitamins, and whether or not we actually absorb/benefit from them... but at this point in my life, I'm willing to try it.

i hope u find the combo of things that work for u le. the b12 seems to help a bit. who knows. still tired and dark is right. this tired is different than anything ive experienced even with the fibro. i have to believe it is something that is missing that was in the analogs. unfortunately there are sooooo many things in analogs that we dont even know about its hard to tell what is missing. im not even convinced that the drs know what is really in analogs either so how can they tell us what we are missing so we can replace it or work with it with something else while we withdraw and thats what i think we are doing.
hi duncan....... theres that word again time..... lol and when will then be now hmmmmm????
