Good afternoon all.  Shari, I am so sorry for your loss, but now she is with Marc&#39;s father again.  You guys have been thru so much lately - I pray God&#39;s peace be about you.  Well, I went to the dr. today about my sleeping (or lack thereof)  problem.  She has diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia.  I have had all the symptoms for years, but once she stepped back and looked at the whole picture, it was clear.  I have had body pain, fatigue, dizziness, headaches, sleeping disorders, occassional trouble concentrating and a whole list of other things but as I never complained of more than one or two at any given time, the symptoms were just treated and never truly diagnosed.  I also have GERD (acid reflux) which I take a prescription for and TMJ.  70% of people who have Fibromyalgia also suffer from those - the reason is unknown.  There is no cure for it nor any medication...each symptom is just treated seperately.  She gave me a prescription for a  muscle relaxer which she says if I take at night, will help some of the morning stiffness and pain.  She also gave me samples for 3 different kinds of sleeping pills, which she wants me to try and then call her and let her know which one works best and she will prescribe it.  She also said I could get prescription pain medication, but I said I really don&#39;t want to take anything more than I have to, so I will just keep using my heating pad and Tylenol.   There are days every now and then, when I just cannot function, and she said that Greg should read up on it so he is aware what is happening with me at those times.  It can be aggrevated by cold weather and allergies, both of which I am experiencing so that is probably why the symptoms have been worse lately.  Anyway, sorry to ramble on and on.  I went and did some Christmas shopping after I left the dr.  My DIL is always borrrowing my carpet steamer and is not so good at returning it so I usually have to go get it when I want to use it, so I bought her one of her own.  Also, even though I said I wasn&#39;t going to buy the grandson anything else, I just happened to be at Toys R Us and things just kept calling my name.  I went there becasue my older son asked for an HD DVD for XBox 360 - I have no idea what it is, but was going to buy it anyway, but they didn&#39;t have it, so I just happened to wander over to the Cars toy aisle.   Well, guess I had better go start Greg&#39;s dinner - hope you alll are having a good day....
