Introducing My Self

mirendou

Hi my name is Alexandra but I prefer Alex (I’m female) and was told I had Fibromyalgia when I was in my mid 20s and then diagnosed with RA 7 years ago after getting a really bad viral infection that actually put me in bed for 4 days (unheard off LOL)
I have what I consider a good sense of humour (I think) and try to laugh off the pain and ignore it.
My rheumy Man says I have a high pain endurance thingy and so there for want take any of his drugs, no saying that they are not good just that I would prefer to be free of them.
I am at the moment on month 4 of quitting smoking and feel really proud and will never smoke again (I hope) as I am told this aggravates RA and Fibro how true this is I do not know but willing to give it a go, mind you I can’t say I feel any better for it at the moment in fact I think I feel worse LOL
Well that’s me as far as I know so I hope I will get to know a few of you now as I only know one other who has this thing and she lives in Norfolk.
So thanks for reading have a great day Alex xx

Hi Alex and welcome!

As the others have said, do come and find the cafe - we are (mostly) slightly mad there, but you can have anything you want!

We've all got something in common even if it goes by different names at times....it's good to have some support and a bit of light relief at times.

Hi

A big welcome to the forums from me too

You must have a high pain threshold to be refusing all his tablets - good for you

Also very well done for not smoking

We do decaf in the caf yes, but remember its all calorie free and I'm sure the caffeine cant harm you either in there

Love
