Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Oh she is so sweet and it makes me feel so helpless when she's having a bad day, I wish I could take her pain away. She did have a partial hysterectomy 35 yrs ago. I had a total 5 yrs ago but so far no fibro. I hope that isn't in the stars for me in the future. Keep smiling!

I have met other women who have had the same experience...just makes me wonder. God bless you and your mother, thanks. Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Did the fibro show up right after the surgeries? You have really has it, keep positive though. Good thing is you can help yourself feel better now.......Donna bookjunky wrote: Oh, I hope so, too. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I'm so sorry your mother has it. I honestly think mine is from too much anesthesia. The electrical system of my heart does not work correctly. I have had 5 procedures on my heart...one of them was 12 hours long...the others were between 5 and 8 hours. All of them occurred within a 4 year period. That is a tremendous amount of anesthesia...I was asleep for the procedures. This is just my theory but I truly believe it. Kay > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
