I know it can happen. One of the BEST things she can do is sleep under an electric blanket on low heat (year round)--even when it means running an air conditioner. It just helps...as does drinking just a cup of good plain old hot water in the morning when she gets up.<br /><br />I am so glad you and LD laugh together and have a good time. I don't think I have ever seen him without his overalls on. He looks GOOD all dressed up a bit.<br /><br />Hope you have a great weekend- xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622758739580732797.post-32806336417800139182017-10-06T15:44:47.293-05:002017-10-06T15:44:47.293-05:00I have fibro but refuse to go on the medications b...I have fibro but refuse to go on the medications because some of those are worse than what I already have and they make you gain weight. What does help naturally is exercise (now that I walk 10,000 steps a day I feel quite a bit better), and believe it or not an electric blanket as the warmth just makes my skin feel so much better.

I need a lot of work done, but it costs way above what my budget allows. What wonderful pictures you shared. Such happy faces all! I have a niece that has dealt with fibromyalgia for some time and she's been able to manage that with meds but also has several other health issues going on too. Faith and HOPE are so important and I will definitely be saying some prayers.

That’s half the battle. <br /><br />What a wonderful series of photos of you and your Sweetheart. I love them! <br /><br />Praying that Summer continues to be led through the maze of challenges. She doesn’t have to do it herself as The Lord is willing and able to lead as she leans into Him. So many have this condition. It certainly is a challenge. I have a dear friend with it who can tolerate a hug some days and not others. <br /><br />All the best...Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622758739580732797.post-78189084056954459562017-10-06T07:00:34.466-05:002017-10-06T07:00:34.466-05:00How fun to have dinner and a birthday celebration ...How fun to have dinner and a birthday celebration with your friends. Good food and good conversation are always nice. I'm sorry to hear about Summer's diagnosis. I hope the doctor can help her and there is always new medication and treatment coming out. Also sorry about all the dental problems although it seemed the dentist was the one with the problems since he had no electricity. I love my dentist but still dislike going to see her.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05673288414533354350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622758739580732797.post-54471527926672965152017-10-06T06:55:21.265-05:002017-10-06T06:55:21.265-05:00who is that cute guy in a shirt???? love it.. so g...who is that cute guy in a shirt???? love it.. so glad Summer now has an idea of what to do and what to work on.. but sorry to hear the word fibro... loved all the birthday doings and presents and truly happy you had a visit with dentist that was not scaryMadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622758739580732797.post-22369412625354843572017-10-06T05:50:43.778-05:002017-10-06T05:50:43.778-05:00Linda, I am so glad you and LD had an evening out ...Linda, I am so glad you and LD had an evening out with friends. Did you look in LD's back pockets to see if he brought any tools along? LOL. That working man.<br /> I think Summer has more than Fibro. My neighbor girl has it along with lupus. She has to exercise and watch her diet. Takes many meds, doesn't do caffeines.Her combination is scary. I pray Summer can find some relief. Pain takes our joy. So for her to smile in pain means she has some of your GRIT. Blessings to all of you, love you, xoxo,SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425051654313691986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622758739580732797.post-80351197991236457102017-10-06T00:40:36.968-05:002017-10-06T00:40:36.968-05:00I’m glad you and LD found each other.

I know zero about fibromyalgia but I don’t think it’s a diagnosis anyone wants. I seriously doubt the stress she’s under is good for that diagnosis. If she already has a rheumatologist I suspect pain is going to be with her the rest of her life. Pain free may not be an option for her. Pain control may be the best she can hope for.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622758739580732797.post-71377207118152634102017-10-05T23:59:14.109-05:002017-10-05T23:59:14.109-05:00I think summer is so strong.

And there are new drugs out now to help it. So now she can start getting well! I am sorry about your dental treatments! I hate those temporary caps! I am always afraid to eat or sleep. Our dentist now has his own cap machine!! No more temporary caps, he will make one in the office while you wait. I believe he told us the machine cost them about $100,000! I love the pictures of you and Louis Dean!

I've had Fibro for a long time. Heating pads, ice packs, Extra Strength Tylenol, a lot of rest and more meds kind of help. I cannot take any ibuprofen or arthritis meds because of the blood thinner I'm on. I definitely get much slower every year. It does a number on you emotionally, too, keeping you at home so much! Good luck to Summer!Bluebird49https://www.blogger.com/profile/01195892307835553912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622758739580732797.post-36319262235497172172017-10-05T23:27:22.730-05:002017-10-05T23:27:22.730-05:00You and LD are a beautiful couple.
