Health Issues forces Sell of bike

[695LAM]

  Well for now Dr.s Say no more riding.  I am having some health issues that keep me from riding month to month and it's killing me to see the bike sit.  They believe that I have whats called Fibromyalgia, can't spell it but you can sound it out. LOL  Anyway, I wake up and can not even get out of bed by myself.  I have pain from every joint and muscle in my body.  It all started about two months ago and was just shoulder pain, now its all over my body.   All we can do right now is test, test, test. X-ray, X-ray and on and on.  Different medications each week and it's taking it's toll on me.  I will get a bike again, I just have to make it threw this shit first.  So I put my 695 up for sale.  I will still hang out and be a pest but without a bike.  Thanks for all the laughs and tears.

Hey man, This is the DMF. Half the people here don't even own Monsters. It's like being a Marine (without the brainwashing.  ) Once a Monster owner, always a Monster owner. Except CCeatme69... he was dishonorably discharged.

I'm terribly sorry to hear about your health issues, and you better believe you will be recieving prayers and support from me. Keep us posted on your healing, and harass us as necessary.

I'm sorry to hear that.  I hope you feel better soon. ((hugs))

[Triple J]

Sorry to hear about your condition...that really sucks.

Don't worry about not having a Monster...lots don't (like me).

Sorry to hear about the illness.  Keep us posted how it goes.

That is a shame about the Monster but health comes first...

Make sure they test you for Lyme disease as well as everything else...good luck and I hope you realize a good outcome of all this

Once a hooligan always a hooligan! Stick around

PM lethe, he has fibromyalgia and might have something useful for you to go on.

I have it to a minor extent, but I just live with it so I got nuthin.

hope you get to feeling better sooner than later.

I've been sans Monster for two years. Life goes on - no valve checks!  

There'll be other bikes. Tend to the important stuff for now. Best wishes.  

[Howie]

Wow  No Monster does not mean leave the board.  This is a great place for support and expertize for more than moto issues.  

Here's to a quick, complete recovery

[Duck-Stew]

Although I've owned 6+ Monsters and about a dozen other Duc's...  I'm currently Duc-less too (I've got enough pieces parts to build a small fleet, but...nothing 'up & running').

Please hang out, please contribute, please let us know if there's anything we can do...

This is the DMF afterall...

[Betty Rage]

Shit, I've never owned a monster, any Duc at all come to think of it. And I'm still here. Suckas.

Thank you all for your kind words and support.  KnightofNi, I will be asking alot of questions in the next few weeks and it would be great if your mom could help with a few.  I will be going back to the Dr. on the 28th so lets hope he finds some answ' for me.   Again thanks all for your support.

I've been really good lately for some reason, just minor symptoms.
Hang on to the bike, if you're lucky it will swing back and forth and you can enjoy it when you're feeling decent.
And even when you're not feeling too hot, it's still nice to look at.  
Just be careful, if you're like me and the brain decides to kinda shut down at random times, it will tend to be mid corner.  

Also, there is little to nothing that they'll find in Xrays if it is fibromyalgia as it's your nervous system flipping out. Pain is one thing but I find one of the most annoying things to be the electric shock like tingling that randomly shows up. If you get that, cold helps out. I've driven home in the dead of winter with the fan on full blast and the windows open and it made it go away.
