I'm not sure.  It is a known side effect to having had a particular type of weight loss surgery, which I did.  I also have osteoarthritis in my knees, back and hands, as well as 2 forms of scoliosis.  The CFS has been a fear since I moved back home and have had to care for 2 ailing parents, one of who has gone onto his reward, PTL!  The other is better, but has been in the hospital 3x for Crohn's and is now an ostomate, but has been back in for blockages.  It gets hard and oh, so tiring.

I would like to know what it takes to get a diagnosis for fibromyalgia?  I wonder if I might not have it.  Also, does anyone know much about chronic fatigue syndrome?

Welcome Brandy thank you for posting and telling about yourself.  I deal with pain like yours daily and it is hard when we see others pain and feel ours is not as significant.  We all deal with pain in our own way.  An update to Jake he found out 2 weeks ago his cancer that was to take his life is not life threatening.  Jake is going to make it we have been praising God for this miracle. In August God blessed his family with another daughter named Faith because of their faith in his healing. God has healed Jake because of their faith in HIM. It is amazing how he did this. I know that God will heal my pain right now I use it for his Glory! Take care and I cannot wait to hear more from everyone!

Just trust him, & you will get thru!!!

The last few months have been pretty difficult for me. Not only for the pain I am in but emotionally it has been horrible. I co-run a nonprofit that supports police/fire/vets. We help families after they have lost a loved one in the line of duty. However God put this wonderful man into our lives named Jake. He is a marine who found out a few months ago he has a brain tumor. Jake was given 6 months to live. Ok I can understand this cancer can hit anyone I know my mom is a breast cancer survivor. But this younge man is 26, married with a 2 year old daughter and YES I said AND a baby on the way. They have named her Faith because of their Faith in God that he will send is healing down on Jake and bring him through this. We have been holding fundraisers for Jake and feeling like we have not been doing enough. The he tells us that every time we held a fundraiser no matter what the amount it was just enough to support or pay for whatever they needed. God has helped me grow through this but as a mom this is killing me to think that he may not see his daughter being born. Then we find his wife has Lupus. This family is so in Love with God and their Faith may be tested they are Praising his name I am learning that through all that they are going through God has never left their side that God has always met their needs so through this yes I am sad but the lesson is so clear I just needed to see it. Then yesterday through twitter I have been following a young girl 8 years old with terminal cancer. She had been fighting for 2 years and last night was her last night on earth. At one point her mom sent a post to tell us that little Ellie woke up and saw her crying and asked for anointing oil and anointed her mom's head with a cross. There is so much to learn from this little girl that yes she is with Jesus with a new body running and being free the pain of sorrow is not there it is joy for her. I look forward to the new body God has for me. Mine is slowly getting worse. I have scar tissue in my spine that encompasses the nerves in my L3-S1 area because of the location of the scar tissue I have issues with bladder/bowel incontinence and needless to say it has gotten worse in the last week. I know that my time is coming that the wheelchair I have is going to be permanent but the knowlege that this is only temporary has eased the pain has taken the fear and has given me joy to know that I will now finally be able to keep up with my kids! Sorry for the long note I just felt someone might need this. Take care God bless you all!
