I have read some terrible things on here and I don't feel worthy๐Ÿ™I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and Copd in 2003.

I went to hospital appt regularly but as my mobility lessened I stopped going. I had no one to take me and hospital transport makes me so cold and in agony which affected me for a couple of weeks after.

My medication for Copd changed a few months ago is helpful . I do have difficulty breathing a few times a day.

For the last 10 years my Copd has been ignored.

So I have too.

Compared to other people on here I'm fine. Fibro symptoms confuse things I've also ignored that since 2003. Just suffered. I cough like crazy in the morning and during the night.

I stopped smoking I 2001. Yey me๐Ÿ™ƒ.

I stopped using drugs in 2004 and stopped drinking.

in 2007. I've never slipped but I do fancy a gin now and then.

Got new GPS and suddenly I got Gabapentin for the fibromyalgia. Doesn't work much.

I know I've rambled but I've been honest!๐Ÿค—

I'm interested in hearing other people s stories of they want hugs๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ™
