Fibromyalgia Support Group
You're not alone in your pain. Fibromyalgia is a condition that can be difficult to diagnose and manage. If you're trying to cope with pain throughout your body, sleep problems, general fatigue, or other common fibromyalgia symptoms, you're in the right place. The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
Here's the idea. No matter how badly you feel or how down you are... there is something you can count as a blessing today. Just add one... try not to duplicate, but if you must, then add another under your duplicate one. (SO many of us do count God's love as a blessing... if you MUST list it, then add another also)... don't try to list every one you can think of ... just one. This will be a positive topic to peek at daily...
I am blessed with one particular, wonderful faithful soul~friend... we share our worries and concerns about our families, and our joy in our Faith. Her name is Chris.

I'm thankful my 8 month old niece is over her 'stranger' anxiety and we can all hold her again without causing a blood-curdling scream.
I'm thankful that I have medication that helps me get out bed - I used to sit in one place, in a curled-up position, before the doctors found the correct drug mix.
I'm thankful that I tripped over this site and the Fibro board. Sometimes I feel so isolated. I know my family and friends love me but, even with my super-descriptive responses to 'how do you feel,' I don't think they really understand how bad it is.
I'm thankful that my sister-in-law, while pregnant and having the brain sucked out of her my my niece, acknowledged how hard it must be to feel like that all the time; to not remember what you're talking about, or be able to find the right word, or even how to spell.
I'm thankful that my brother (and his wife) are paying for my bankruptcy attorney and do not want to be paid back.
I'm eternally grateful for my dogs - my Yorkie and my Lab. They push me to get up, they make sure they and I get fed and take meds at the right time, and they make me laugh even when I'm supposed to be serious (like when someone has an accident and gives me his paw later when I ask if he's the one responsible for the 'gift').
