The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
I did a two mile benefit walk this weekend for Vasculitis (Yes I'm still paying for it).
It got me to thinking. We should do a benefit walk for FM.
Except instead of people pledging how much they want to donate per mile they can pledge per foot or inch walked. I'm thinking a nice one block walk would be nice.
Can't leave the house...then take pledges for how many times you walked to the bathroom during the day.
Can't get out of bed....then take pledges for how many times you rolled over trying to get comfortable.
Having an extra foggy day....then take pledges for how many times you said "what was I saying."
Please feel free to add in your own ideas.
Maybe instead of the money going to reasearch it can go to our own personal "fibro fund"..to use for all those expensive creams we keep buying in hopes of finding one that will work, for all those meds. we get, and let's don't forget all the money we are paying to our lovely Dr.'s in which most of them know less than we do about FM.

My "virtual group" raised over $300 last May - hope to do better and maybe have a real walk locally in 2009.
I'm going to assume the part about keeping the money was a joke :)
