I also have dysthymia. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Neither is fibromyalgia. One thing I've found out since I found out there was a possibility that I have it is the number of others who have it too, or know of people who have it. I didn't think people would understand, but they do. I don't know much, but I'll be there to support you as much as I can. If there's a support group in your area, for whatever you have, then it would be worth going along to be with people who understand and probably experience the same thing you do.

As a person with a chronic health "challenge" I can somewhat empathize with you. But I am blessed that I have very little pain and by God's grace do not have the burden of depression. It would seem there is an awful circle with depression and pain--one making the other harder to handle. I admire your strength to endure.

I'd better get going now. It's about 12.30am here.
I hope you're both feeling better soon. Take care.

Trish & Kimmie,
My sil has Fibromyalgia, plus chronic fatigue syndrome. She amazes me with how well she has continued on, & flourishes she is on a whole regimen of medications & things she goes regularly for massage therapy, & has had acupuncture at times when thing were really bad. But she keeps on keeping on. There are days I can just look at her & I know she's having a lot of pain that day. But she just amazes me.
You mentioned how many people you discovered has fibromyalgia or knows someone who does, I was diagnosed with depression years ago My doctor suspects I've had it my whole life, but when I was diagnosed I was amazed at the number of people who came & told me they suffered too. Have they started treating you yet? I'm praying for you.

Hi everybody. I hope you have a good day today.
I had a much better day today. I had some errands to do, so managed to get out and do them. I'm not seeing much of the outside of the property at the moment, so this is a start.
I was told that chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia are the same disease. Depending on which was the worst symptom, the pain or the fatigue, that was what determined which you had. They both have very similar symptoms.

I dropped the music minor... but my whole point taking it is cause it's basically useless, as far as my major is concerned. Plus it's an easy A so long as you put forth effort, lol. The problem is that it's from 3pm-4pm, and although I could swear we used to offer more classes that late in the afternoon, I can't find ONE other one that starts then. My schedule's packed from 8am-3pm TR, then on MWF it's packed from 8am-5pm... so the best I could do was find a later class that's easy/useless...but ended up being the only one I could find that was offered then.
I imagine sometime before class he'll look to see who's in there; I figure if he doesn't want to teach just one student that he'll email me or something during the day before 3pm hits (he's usually there quite early). The last time I took it, others were there too but they weren't officially listed... I'm hoping that maybe he knows some students who are taking but they've not registered for it yet. Hoping, hoping, hoping. And since all my long-time friends have skipped town to transfer, I couldn't find another helpless soul to take it with me (you have to sing in front of the class, so I understand the fear).

That's what the rheumatologist told me after I asked if it were possible that I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, as I'd heard that some people do. She said that they were just at opposite ends of the spectrum.

What about a night class, Tamara? I know that's not what you would really like to do (I never liked night classes), but it might be a good filler. Plus those usually only meet once a week so often times it ends up being an easy A as well.
Virtual college classes started today, but I seem to be having some issues. Got a weird error message when I logged into blackboard & tried to get into my class. I emailed the professor so we'll see what happens.
I've gotten my schedule more lined out. Unfortunately, I don't have much down time during the day...just bits & pieces here & there. Anyway, I'd better get to bed. Another early day tomorrow beckons me already...

Sounds like everyone is busy and needs a prayer, so I am saying one for all of you ladies :)
I have been up since 4am since I had to go pick up my Fiance this morning and take him in work early today...I stopped and got a coffee and the guy gave it to me free (maybe he seen the tiredness in my eyes) and its been raining/pouring these few days which is good because we are going through a drought time atm
There was a girl that went to my high school, who was killed the other day she ran off the road and flipped her car early in morning and then she was threw from her car and then ran over! Although I didnt know her well... but thats just horrible... I was on that same hwy this morning...

Ooh how sad about being flipped from the car.
Tamara, your schedule is so packed that's my only suggestion is to find a class that starts after 6 on tue or thu so you can have a break to eat and study.

The only class I can take then is a critial language (night/evening), and I'm taking (some more) Spanish this semester. For some reason we don't offer those easier classes at night for undergrads. I remember when I took that voice class I didn't officially register until two weeks into the semester, and I'm hoping that's what some others are doing. I know he teaches private voice, so he might be willing to do "class" voice just with one person. Ugh. Sometimes I wonder how a situation and I find our ways to meet each other.

Update: he decided to go ahead and teach me by myself. Didn't seem like an issue.

What a nice lady! Bizarre how she seems to be such an exception to the rule, isn't it?
The day after tomorrow I start packing and then the next day finish up the last of it and head to the airport. I'm finally getting to the point where I'm looking forward to it. I'm eager to see my friends again and meet my new students.
Have a nice day, ladies.
P.S. Tamara, I'm glad you were able to get that class after all.

It's been around for 30 years so I know how to handle it
A week from today I'll be back at school and itching to get my room set up. I'll be happier about it once I'm back there. 
I'm just so thankful for God watching out for her and for the kind people in this town.
