You're right, sometimes saying it out loud helps. I so appreciate your concern; it means a lot.<br />Fondly,<br />-- CathyCathy Barneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371655581401528831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502117548618350329.post-38060925055785184602011-03-26T16:22:12.677-07:002011-03-26T16:22:12.677-07:00Cathy, I had no idea about the Fibromyalgia! You ...Cathy, I had no idea about the Fibromyalgia! You know, I was a massage therapist for 10 years, and I saw how generalized and yet illusive the thing can be......It seems to be everywhere!! I guess the only thing I can suggest is that taking a long lukewarm bath seens to help, to relax........I used to have a whirlpool in my house, with the massage, but you know, just getting into still warm water can be a help. You don't have to clean yourself, just soak.....<br /><br /> What more to do? ........Maybe just talking about it in the open, like today, can be a help. I do wish I had ideas on the subject.<br /><br />Some normalcy is needed! Thanks for speaking out about it........Nancy RexrothAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502117548618350329.post-7123202941229555112011-03-26T06:22:53.154-07:002011-03-26T06:22:53.154-07:00Iris and Carolyn, thank you for your support.

Imagine my surprise when I got a message from a very old and dear friend telling me she, too, has fibro. That has been an answer to prayer. I slept last night and that has made a huge difference!

I believe that we have been wired to be more inward with our struggles than outward. :) That can be a good thing and a not so good thing. I encourage you to share your struggles with those you consider your community. God provides us with a community so that we can continue to grow and develop closer to Him. Know that I am there for you anytime my dear sister!I couldn't imagine life without you!

Espe...Oh, Cathy, I'm so sorry to hear all this! Especially the part about not finding comfort in the meeting. Donne's message last Sunday was particularly good, and prompted lots of vocal ministry among at least four people. I wish you could have been there, as I always appreciate it when the Spirit moves you to speak, too.<br /><br />I know chronic pain can be debilitating. I hope and pray that you find some relief.Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05856102663636992798noreply@blogger.com
