Fibro Fog Funnies <BR> <BR> <BR>Hi, I suffer from Fibro Fog... It seems that I´ve lost my mind but I can´t remember where! <BR> <BR>Have I done this! I recently bought the same book in two separate sections <BR>of the same bookshop, half an hour apart. Just thought I was getting old <BR>VERY fast. <BR> <BR>This morning I found my shoe in the fridge <BR> <BR>I heard a story about a guy who has CFS and his wife were having dinner with a couple who were friends of theirs. The husband of the guests asked him, "How´re you doing?" "OK," he said. "Pretty good, I guess." (Pause) "Uh......we went out to dinner last night." "Yeah? Really?" the friend said. "Was the food good?" "The food...? Oh...yeah, the food was good. Uh...... really good. We had, uh.....uh...yeah, really good." "Where´d you go?" the friend asked. "Where´d we go?" "Yeah, you know, what restaurant?" "Uh....we went to ....uh, you know that flower...uh...that tall flower, red mostly, uh....with those little sticky things?.....uh...THORNS, yeah, thorns, you know that flower?" "You mean, a rose?" his friend asked. "Yeah, that´s it! Exactly!", he replied. Then he turned to his wife and said "Hey Rose, honey, where´d we go for supper last night?" <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>
Da´ Winna´, and still champeen! <BR> <BR>{:p <BR> <BR>"Your CESD score is 55 <BR>The likelihood that you have major or clinical depression is high. You should see a trained health professional to confirm the diagnosis and discuss what treatment might be best for you." <BR> <BR>Well, gee willickers - imagine that... <BR>
"Your CESD score is 20 <BR>Only a trained professional who has been able to interview you will be able to determine if you have depression. However your score on the CESD indicates that you have a moderate probability of having depression at this time. If your symptoms have lasted over 6 months, you had clinical depression in the past, you are having more difficulty getting things done at home or at work, or you feel the need for treatment at this time, you should consult a health professional. A careful interview by a trained health professional might help you sort out the exact diagnosis. <BR> <BR>Your score indicates that it would be useful to talk to a trained professional"... <BR> <BR>yeah sure, those tests can´t handle a bit of abnormal thinking, I´d rather point that gun :), ok, not. But what are those symptoms (I need to know, cause if they´ve lasted 6 months...) ?! And what if my dad´s on lithium (additional quiery, and he is, hehe), should I become worried ?! Forbid those kinda things... and while I´m talking, casino on net below here, that too :).
Whoo! Just got back from a long weekend, and those idiots that say the "Best things in life are free" have obviously never visited a professional bordello... <BR>{:p <BR> <BR> <BR>Grim, you hit it on the head. I can´t concentrate to do anything constructive. <BR>And that torques my @ss, because I´ve got all these ideas, but the concentration is lacking to finish anything. <BR>(And now I´m so tired, I couldn´t pee on my shoes to put out the fire you lit...) <BR>:D <BR> <BR>Oh, I admit I was a little offended by Dor´s remarks, but that´s just ´cause I was in a lousy mood. <BR>:P <BR>I don´t fit the profile you gave, Dor, but something evidently rubbed me the wrong way, so for that, I apologize. <BR>(BTW, I´m 5´10´", weigh in at 185, work out with free weights 3 days a week, and have finished 3 marathons in the last five years...) <BR>:) <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>Oh, and those silly surveys and tests always play the C.Y.A. card (Cover your @ss) <BR>They´re just afraid that some space cadet is gonna blame them for croakin´ themselves, so they can use that as a disclaimer against law suites... <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>Oh, and Crae: There IS a point, but as long as a hat is worn, no one will notice... <BR>{:p
There is no point. It is a blunt object.
I for example preffer to stab myself repeatedly with a blunt object while watching Survivor series <BR> <BR>Hey, if you canna lough about it, whats the point?
lol... 🌙 <BR> <BR>No, I think they feel that everyone who is depressed (or think they are depressed) is looking for a gun <BR>
Hmm, suggestive questioning. If you weren´t depressed before the test, you would be afterwards. <BR> <BR>"Your CESD score is 4 <BR>Only a trained professional who has been able to interview you will be able to determine if you have depression. <BR>However, your score on the CESD indicates that you have a low probability of having depression at this time. If you are concerned that you are depressed, regardless of the score on this test, please see a trained professional. If however, you feel your mood is changing, complete the questionnaire again in 2 to 4 weeks. " <BR> <BR>What? Are they trying to get me to see a shrink?
lol <BR>but seriouslly, I think this thread is not about ´sympathy´...it´s rather our good mate Elwin apologising for not contributing with his art. Let me quote here: <BR> <BR>"But in case you´ve been wondering about my seeming inconsistancy on the boards, and why lately I haven´t been finishing skins, themes, etc., this the reason" <BR> <BR>Heh, I was just about to make another excuse myself why I haven´t been posting anything, but I wont. It is simply the fact that being creative right now is rather difficult. To be honest, ´the fellowship of the heads´ here on skinbase is sometimes more important then being creative. <BR> <BR>I luvz ´U´ all! <BR>/points/ <BR> <BR>BTW, they say that I should be ´fit for work´ anytime soon. Heh, thats a new one! <BR>:evil
A nun is walking down the street one night and as she passes a bar the door flies open and a drunk man staggers out. He sees the nun, casually strolls up to her and busts her right in the chops. The nun falls to the deck holding her bleeding nose and reeling with shock. The man kicks her twice and then punches her again before grabbing her by the hair and throwing her into the wall. He then looks down at her and says , <BR>"Heh, yer not so fuckin´ tough now,are you Batman!!" <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>.. hehe.. ´life´s a beach.. NOT! <BR> <BR>Hel EviL, you need a ´pick up´ mate! <BR>/me sets Elwin´s shoes on fire/ <BR> <BR>rotfl
well... Im not going to lie here..... reading this I fell apart myself. You have to live one day at a time Elwin..... I´m not sick, no disease or broken bones, just a broken heart that will never heal..... I´m lost for words for you, but I´ll keep you in my prayers........ but all I can say is it is a battle every day and you are head strong, you have a positive input for others and great advise, I´ll be needing you to help me again with your encouraging words and warm heart that you have..... if you need another ear and friend I´m here for you too..... anytime Elwin, any time...... a tweek on the cheek and hugs..... chichi
g´night Mr. Jingle Bells me is off and out for the night ;)
Hmm, that´s fucked. What exactly does it do? Make you all tired all of a sudden or is it more loss of muscle control?
I´ve had way too many CO´s who loved that saying. :D
<BR>My apologies. <BR>My first Hapkido teacher always told me that if I wanted sympathy, I should look in the dictionary - I´d find it between "shit" and "syphilis". <BR>I should have kept him... <BR>{:p
I let this kind of thread run long to wait for someone who knows what´s up to speak (thanks Grim). <BR>I will not talk out of school. I´m just posting to lend my support. Feell better and try to enjoy some of V-Day. :) <BR> <BR> <BR>Or is it already past for you? <BR> <BR>Idunno I´m still a day behind here. :D
Elwin, sorry to hear your sick. :( That´s too bad. Although, I never heard of it. I hope there´s a miracle cure for the disease. Stay happy & strong.
Bad... I´d hate every muscle in my body for not wanting to work (i know, not the muscles)... didn´t get this impression from you, though, community sense around (if there) boosting you a little, still ?
2378380 is my icq (though I cannot open it much) cuz I work connected via modem to the hospital from home and goof off alot on these boards in between, (But ICQ completely paralizes me when I open it) <BR> if you e-mailed me and needed me to open icq for you let me know Elwin okay. <BR> <BR>
No Elwin it´s real alright, and so is Depression and all kinds of other reasons ppl commit suicide every second... <BR> <BR>I said try B vitimins and exercise knowing full well fatigued ppl don´t feel like exercise but, somethings that don´t sound too logical are infact logical... hehe <BR> <BR>does that make sense? probably not... sorry <BR> <BR> <BR>anyways, she can´t exercise either (cuz she smokes so much) <BR>but I work at a hospital and that is what most of the doctors recommended for me to tell her as well... <BR> <BR>seeing alot of medical stuff pertaining to my work, has me realizing/thinking that the only battle against most diseases is a good strong workout for 30 or more mins a day, eating right, and not to stress of course not too many ppl can do that cuz OF life. <BR> <BR>again, sorry to hear this Elwin, please take care, and you have friends all over the world obviously to speak to, and I´m one of them too so stop picking on me! <BR>Hope you get to feeling better Mr. Jingle Bells ;)
uhm...I was diagnosed with CFS and Fibromayalgia around 4 years ago now. First year was the hardest, especially when it took them around 9 months to make a diagnosis in the first place. It was just enough time for my personal life to fall apart, to lose all the respect of your friends and co-workers and generally feel like you´d rather be dead. <BR> <BR>How does it feel? Imagine having a really bad Flu/cold infection, well, with CFS you can feel like that on a good day. Bad days are even worse of course and this vicious cicle just keeps repeating itself until people are driven to the points of dispair. <BR> <BR>Anyhow, I feel for you Elwin.. but hang in there buddy, although there is no cure as such, I was lucky to have managed the desease. Not so much with diets, excersize, drugs and cold showers. But more with my inner fine tunning and major attitude change. Heh.. actually, I feel like I had to re-invent myself just about. Different set of circumstances apply to every individual, thats why it is difficult to come up with a ´miracle´ drug that would be effective in all the cases. <BR> <BR>Anyhow.. that shoulder thing, do you think it´s really nessecary, I mean.. everyone is watching .. hehe :p <BR> <BR>"I have explored many places and taken many journeys but am now beginning the most important journey of them all. Inwards, towards the self."
BTW - I reloaded ICQ again. Authorize me ;)
Damn.... I´m lost for words. You know how I feel though matey :)
Hey! Elwin. There is nothing I can do but say, stay strong man! i don´t know what is this syndrome and I´m going to surf the web to get info.
Try vitimins the "B" type and work out, that might boost your energy some...
Sorry to hear this Elwin... <BR> <BR>my sister was DX´ed w/ that though they really use that DX when they cannot find any other thing to call it! extreme sudden fatigue for no apparent reason is what it is... <BR> <BR>I told her I "Think" nothing really helps ppl to stay healthy in life but "pushing" yourself to bust a sweat, eat right and don´t stress <BR> <BR>all of which my sister never does she smokes like a train, eats garbage and stress over the weather outside =( <BR> <BR>
