Hello from Greece

feeds@yuku.com (PoppiBear) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 12:13:44 GMT

Hello,

I have emotional pain that is from losing my lovely mum from having a short battle with advanced cancer. I was invited by Mosken to visit so thought I should at least say hello.

I am American-Greek, nearly 18 and live with a wonderful group of friends who have lovingly brought me into their family. But the night times are the worst over losing mummy though I do suffer some arthritis during the damper months.

If it is alright with you may I just hang back...

hi nice to meet you all....

I'm 28yrs old and live in London with my partner Daniel. I was diagnosed with Fibro in 2000 but have been having problems since I was 6yrs old, been in and out of hositpals been prodded and poked all to be called a hypracondriact and that its all in my head. When I did get diagnosed, I didn't get much help or support from my specialist or GP. I have now got a great specialist in London, but still a useless GP.

Hello from a newly diagnosed ME/CFS Robin

feeds@yuku.com (Robin81) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 09:46:34 GMT

Hello Everyone,

I hope you don't mind me introducing myself.
My name is Robin81 and I have recently been diagnosed with CFS, after recent problems and excision surgery for Endometriosis.

I'm looking to learn as much as I can about CFS to help myself and my long-suffering OH. I have googled CFS and read a lot about it but I am more interested in practical advice re how to put 'pacing' into practise sensibly and how to recognise my...

Hi! Here to learn more about FM

feeds@yuku.com (SweetTater1) — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 22:35:13 GMT

Hi all! I had seen the banner for your board on YUKU's main page for some time, but am just coming in to visit. It's wonderful to see a community of people working to cope through the pain, and the PaintShop sections are a joy to me, because I like to work on graphics in my spare time. I'm married, live in Texas, and have a...

Hi, new here - CFS/FM since 1995

feeds@yuku.com (BentButNotBroken1) — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 07:19:15 GMT

Hello to all and my name pretty much says it all ~ I may get bent, but I'm not gonna let anything break me(except what my God allows). I'm in the USA, state of NC and was diagnosed with CFIDS/FM as a result of an on-the-job injury. I was also on Worker's Comp which was at times the bigger nightmare between the diseases and getting Quality, Caring, Knowledgeable medical care.

Those first 2 years I thought I'd go crazy because few GP's ?knew of/?believed in this...

Hello it's been a while!`

feeds@yuku.com (busylizzy1) — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 14:04:52 GMT

Hello all

My name is Liz and I live in Hampshire, UK. I used to post on here a few years ago now and have continued to read most days. I have three ruptured lumbar discs, Fibromyalgia and Endometriosis. Typing is painfull and I tried using Dragon for a while but didn't have the patience. I take my hat off to Mosken.

I got married in 2006 and have grown up step-kids who are both getting married this year within a month of each other. Like Penny I have...

Hello, I'm new.

feeds@yuku.com (slharris) — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 04:33:08 GMT

Wow, where to start. I'm just so relieved there is actually somewhere I can type this, and people will read and understand what I'm going through. I'm the type to keep most things inside, and as a result, I've not talked to many people about this (except doctors and family) and I mask my pain while outside of my apartment.

In December of 2006 I started to feel a burning in my throat and neck. I thought I'd sleep it off and the next morning I'd be fine....
