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.
What is your favorite animal? Or animals? I admit, anything that isn't an insect or a honey badger or coyote is on my list of "I'd cuddle that". (And die, probably!)
So if you want a fun way to see how crazy nature is? Youtuber "Casual Geographic". Just beware the urban street slang that avoids using the dreaded words "d*e" or "k*lled". Seriously, "unalived" is now a verb. Wow. "Unalive" wouldn't even get past spellcheck till 2023...
So here's a few of my fave critters:
Any felines
All canines but coyotes
Butterflies/moths
nonvenomous snakes
tortoises
Most birds (except that a-hole mockingbird out front and domestic turkeys and chcikens, which are too dumb for words IMO)
Manatees
Not-badgers
***
But after watching Casual Geographic about zebras, I may take equines off the list. Yoiks!

Another day, another ouchie?My bruised achilles tendon (don't ask) makes my foot numb. Wonky on meds, whacked it.Now, as to fibro:A lot of reports are going around some parts of social media that fibro (and dang near anything else) are caused by post-Covid, post-flu, post-vaccinations, post-pick-something.1. Your risk of death or serious complications beyond "ow, that shot hurt!" are typically...

Today (August 8) is INternational Cat Day. Don't click away! International DOG day is August 26! Both were created to raise aweareness and funds for the well-being of critters. We have many such dayts, to the pint that every day is like an old Catholic saints' day calendar: Take your pick!I'm home, obvs, and still ill. Left calf and foot not great after a tangle-fall, but i'll live. Just can't...
I’m beyond exhausted and going back to bed for a while . Didn’t sleep well at all. Van Goghs cardiologist said the same as the pedoctor at work, I’m doing all I can right now and he’s getting the best possible care. She agrees that his quality of life is most important-we want to keep him happy, not just alive.
It’s been a quiet morning. My partner left early for a dentist appointment out of town. Road construction is now horrific everywhere. He may be back a lot later than planned.
I have to work snd I’m getting my hair done today. Maybe the pool later.
I like cats, horses and I’m pretty interested in wombats . I follow a wombat rescue. Pretty darn cute.
Miki - Just relax today. You deserve it. Same for you Leo! Waves!
Miki- Sending you & Van Gogh *good vibes*!
Fantod- Yay for wombats!
I saw my surgeon today. He looked at my incision & says it looks great! Such a relief! Last night, my entire back felt like it was on fire. I've never experienced anything like it. The area was very warm to the touch, so I was worried I had an infection. It went away this morning before I saw the doc, so idk wtf... Good news is that, despite the pain, I am standing up straighter & it's easier to hold my posture. This is the tallest I've been in my whole life!
