Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I'm going tomorrow!!!! I'm mega excited but also have mixed feelings as I've been having a horrible week with my suspected fibromyalgia and I'm a bit worried that I'm going to feel rubbish on holiday all week...

But I'm determined to enjoy myself somehow. I guess I just need to load up on pain killers and diocalm and get on with it...

Those of us off this weekend look to have it very lucky with the snow. There's been a couple of days of fresh snowfall in Courmayeur (the rep phoned me last night and confirmed this) and more is forecast for Monday and Tuesday. I'd like a couple of nice sunny days too though please... Very Happy

Have a great week everyone and I'll catch yas when I get back... Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

queen bodecia, well the basic treatment for fibromyalgia is aerobic exercise, so long as you dont push yourelf too hard you may do yourself some good! But maby keep away from the bumps if your knees are bad snowHead have a fun trip, save some snow for me!

jwhiteley1, that's what I'm hoping. It's either a kill or cure scenario I think. Although there is still some debate as to whether I have fibromyalgia or not. Apparently it takes ages of monitoring symptoms and ruling out other things to diagnose...

Feeling a bit better now I've started packing. Thanks everyone... Very Happy

jwhiteley1, hi. After months and months of back and forth to my GP with various random pains and raging IBS I was sent to a rheumatologist who decided I didn't have fibromyalgia. Something to do with not having enough tender points, I only had 6 truly identifiable tender points and an FMS sufferer would expect to have at least 11. So I was sent back to my oncologist again to make doubly sure my cancer hadn't returned anywhere and that was clear too.

Then over the summer I generally felt a lot better, so stopped bothering my GP so much and got on with life.

However, since we slid into autumn again, a lot of the symptoms have returned. Constant aching in lower back, across shoulders, along hips, lower legs, soles of feet and leaning against anything (desk, wall, back of chair, for example) can make my eyes water with pain. The IBS never really went away but in isolation that didn't seem to be such a big deal and I take Alverine to help with those symptoms.

I haven't bothered going back to the GP, I've just been doing my best to take painkillers and try to ignore it all. But getting out of bed in the morning after what is always a troubled night's sleep is really hard work.

As for the skiing. The trip was great. Fantastic snow and huge fun. It wasn't a pain free week but I certainly felt better with all the moving around rather than being sat at a computer and drawing board all day. Maybe my job is just not good for my health and I just need to ski all the time! I wish! Smile

I'm being a bit more sensible this year and swimming every week coupled with doing pilates at home and the occasional long walk. I can't do running or gym as it would be too painful, but gentle movement certainly seems to help. Roll on this season's ski trip!

Sorry for the essay! Smile

Hope you have a great time, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow overnight in Courmayeur and make every day a cold blue sky day. Have fun, we'll see you on the flip side.

not at all, very interesting to read about it. No, your job doesn't sound ideal given your condition. I'm interested because my pregnant daughter is getting a lot of nasty pains and having to learn about how to sit and stand and lie and generally manage it. Seeing an obstetric physiotherapist shortly (she's been referred, anyway, so we hope it's shortly). It's called "pelvic girdle pain" (descriptively enough) but sounds a bit similar in that you have to learn to live with it and keep it in check - and being too active makes it a lot worse. She's struggling with that idea (having just given up cycling, her normal means of transport in Brighton) but coming to terms with it.

constant pain is very debilitating. It sounds as though you are doing really well with it. snowHead

When I opened this thread and read your first line I thought "Oh no, there's no snow out there" - I hadn't seen the date. Embarassed

pam w, thanks. I certainly feel a bit more positive about it this year. It seems strange that my symptoms are seasonal. I went through a stage of reading a lot of stuff on the internet and information about fibromyalgia always seemed suspiciously familiar. But maybe I was imagining my symptoms to fit what I was reading. My GP has always suggested I have FMS possibly brought on by the trauma of my cancer treatment but my oncologist is very dismissive of FMS and says my symptoms can be attributed to a combination of scar tissue from surgery, menopause and radiotherapy damage.

The difference this year is that I'm determined not to let it get me down. I know my limits and I stick to them. Essentially, I've just got to get on with life and stop whinging! Smile

Megamum, I'm going again next March (La Thuile this time, just up the road from Courmayeur) and very excited already! Very Happy
