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.
Mine is winning contests. I enter about 30 to 50 online contests a day, plus about 200 or so one-time and other contests per week. So far, in just under 2 years, I've won a Gibson USA guitar, a Nintendo Wii/game, $1,000. cash, Paderno bakeware, Bounty paper towels for a year, t-shirts, jackets, food free product coupons, an Orion cooker, a fruit arrangement, hair and beauty products including a L'Oreal gift basket, Pfalsgraff dishes set, collectables and countless other prizes. People joke and say "well if you're entering I won't bother" or "what did you win this month?" to which I just replied "a Daytona baseball cap" and in another contest, a Weiser's watch, glasses and coasters set! ...... hee hee
2nd, I'd like to say singing but I have to work really, really, really hard at it. It doesn't come naturally. I like to sing as it boosts me up and takes my mind off things. I sang in a choir in B.C. and it was lots of fun. I went from singing into my book in the back row terrified with fear, to singing acapella (baritone) in a quintet in 4 seasons (2 winter concerts and 2 spring). I prefer to sing harmony and while everyone else is singing the melody, I'm harmonizing with them! Hymns, bluegrass and quartet/quintet music are my favourites.
Here's one of my favourites (solo):

....and here's my past quintet singing "Dream" at a concert:

Not a talent but another kerazy thing I did about a year and a half ago was go on an amusement ride called the Revelation. This video is about the closest in reality on what it does! Our daughter wanted to go on it and the guys were too chicken, so I volunteered! Never again but I did it!!!! (warning: some deleted/non-deleted swearing in video).

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...
I'm very good with small children and I'm waiting for the day I get to be a Grandma!
