I HAVE BEEN GETTING PEOPLE I WORK WITH AND OTHERS THAT KNOW THAT I HAVE FIRBO COMING UP TO ME ALMOST APOLIGIZING FOR NOT BELIEVEING ME OR UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM AND THE PAIN -- SOME SAY ALTHOUGH THE COMMERIALS SAY GETTING A HUG HURTS THEY WANT TO HUG ME TO SHOW HOW MUCH THEY CARE -- I TELL THEM THAT , THAT A HUG IS WORTH INDURING THE PAIN AND WORTH A MILLION UNSPOKEN WORDS

Oh how sweet. See those commercial, although may not portray Fibro as bad as it can be, is still getting the word out to people who don't believe in it and making them Believers! And that is worth it!

You know, I have seen those commercials and it did not occur to me they were doubling a public service for people with FM. I kept focusing on the fact I knew they were actors (seen them elsewhere) and not real patients, even though I thought they did a good job.

I guess I hadn't thought of it as a good thing. I just saw the adds as someone trying to make a buck off people who would do anything to feel better.

I guess it might be a really good thing that these commercials are getting the name of FM out there and educating the public a little about our condition.

Maybe if more people see it on TV they will actually believe in it!

We can always hope that the commercials will help get the word out about this terrible disease. I didn't understand it much myself even though I have a sister in law with it. I have it also but not real bad yet. My sister in law has it real bad and has to take a lot of meds. for the pain. But she also had to have back surgery and has constant pain from that too. I understand it a whole lot better now.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
