More Fibropedia
This fibropedia is a collection of singlet's, words that should have
been words, as created and defined by people who participate in
the discussion of fibromyaliga.
Mush Mouth: swapping first letters of two words, swapping word order, especially
after learning Latin where there isn't any word order, and then I do come up with a
few Freudian slips or double entendes that were not intended.
Obisivity: That is something we would have known if we were not in a fibro-fog
PAN:- people alleged to be normal
PWF (PWFM, PWFMS, FMSERS): people with fibromyalgia
Sudden Clumsiness: The art of walking into objects or tripping over object (dust
motes?) even when you see them or are in a brain fog.
Sudden Stupidness: talking with someone and totally forgetting what you were
saying; a dead stop of words and a lost look on your face--"Uh, what was I saying"?
Tender Points: are the sore spots of FMS, characteristic places where pressure of
4 kgs. causes pain. To meet the strict criteria for diagnosis you must have at least 11
out of 18 in specified locations in addition to a complaint of aching all over.
Thingie--what you call something when you can't remember its name.
Thingie-do--see thingie.
Toilet Tag: when IBS is acting up, and one is constantly running to the bathroom
Tongue Tripping: when one is having difficulties pronouncing simple everyday words,
and/or when one says a completely different word that usually begins with the same
letter, but isn't at all what you intended to say... Or something comes out of your
mouth and immediately you wonder why on earth you said that?
Trigger Points: are characteristic of myofascial pain syndrome.
These don't need to occur in any certain location but typically are over a taut band
of muscle. Their other distinguishing characteristic is that pressure over them
causes pain that radiates away from the point of pressure. FMS and MPS frequently
coexist.
