I too hope it's not cancer. please feel free to rant to cry to just be mad or to joke. I do think I have done all that!! We are here for you! It usually doesn't take long someone to respond. I admit I am a bit of a jokester! Having had fibro and a few other things since I was a child. I figure I try to laugh at it! But oh believe when I say. The people here have helped me through some rough times. Last weekend was a rough one for me. I live in Texas and I guess you would say in uk. 36 to 19 in a few hours. Major flare and a misunderstanding between me and my daughter. Not a good weekend! The people here got me through it. Support is something we all need. I try to help anyway I can others do help and administration is so wonderful! Hopefully I have a new friend! Hugs

I am so sorry to hear you have been through a tough time. I hope everthing is better now. I was away on holiday so didn't have access to the site. I'm sending you my love and hope it wraps around you like a big hug.

Take care of yourself.

Yea it was tough but I finally talked with daughter and found out it was a big mis communication! Flare will be here till Mother Nature decides to stop being foggy and make up her mind!! 80-90 during day and 50 s at night. Come on already is it hot or cold?

Hi Sophie, sorry to hear of your problems. I too was told that I might have bone cancer. The doctors were trying to find out what was causing so much bone pain basically.

I hope, as in my case, it was one of the tools they used to diagnose Fibromyalgia, and it comes back negative.

I had tests for at least 2 years before I got a diagnosis. All of them scary, inconvenient and came back negative.

You are bound to be a bit depressed when you don't know what is wrong with you. Dizziness is a symptom of Fibro as well.

Its an exhausting, tiresome road until you get a diagnosis, but hang in there Sophie!

Hi Sophie, sorry to hear you are going through such a tough time. I understand how your head spins when you are going through tests for cancer, try to keep positive. I'm sure you doctor is just ruling out everything else as fibro doesn't have a test.

Take care of youself.

Hi Sophie, thinking of you and wishing you all the best. I hope your test results are reassuring. Take great care, Mim

Hi sophie666,

Really sorry to hear you sounding so low. Getting overtired and over thinking is a vicious circle and makes the whole situation worse, but it is difficult to stop once it is started. Be nice to yourself, if you can try and do something to treat yourself and help you relax.

All things are easier to deal with if we can get on top of the tiredness. This community is here to help and support you all the way, and this is even more important if you feel you can't talk to your family.

All my hopes for a positive outcome at the bone specialist xxx

Hi shophie. Poor u uve got alot to cope with at the moment. It's a scary prospect. I know when they were testing me for bone cancer. I did not tell anyone. Thankfully II it was not. Share ur problems on here. It's gud to talk. N let thing out. Like u I suffer from depression along with list if other aliments. Let us know how u get on. My thought n prayers go with u. Take care. U know its so so hard to do n easy for anyone to say, n not always helpful when people say this to u, but try n relax n rest up. I know it won't change things, but may just may help u a tiny bit. Take care. Sending u gentle hug.

Hi Sophie. I think you'll find that many of us can relate to you both in terms of illness and lack of support.

Are you on any type of meds for depression and/or anxiety? I ask because some anti-depressants do help with both pain and depression.

Is there a 24/7 mental health care line service that you can use as and when necessary?

Dizziness can also be attributed to chronic/acute anxiety in addition to low blood sugar. Are you eating low GI foods?

Just yesterday I purchased relaxation/mindfulness colouring books. I have used them in the past. They worked beautifully since they shift the focus off me and onto what I'm doing. I struggle with other relaxation techniques, so the books are good for me.

Your depression WILL lift Sophie. Last year I was in the pit of despair, but with lots of hard mental work and HOPE, I got a better grip on it. I still have it, but I function better. Please remember that there is a direct link between our thoughts and how we feel. Also, surround yourself with happy people. Watch cartoons on telly. In other words, do anything and everything that lifts your spirit. Cultivate patience as you work your way through this. Know and importantly, BELIEVE that things will get better.

I'll be saying a prayer that all goes we when you see your specialist.

God bless.
