It's been awhile since I submitted a journal entry.  Thankfully it's because I've been feeling so wonderful and have been keeping myself busy with volunteering and other fun activities that I love.I...

In one of my many Internet searches, I found a doctor who recommended aloe vera juice to help calm the digestive tract.  I figured I had nothing to lose, so I purchases some.  I have been taking 3...

I started my first day of volunteering at the Joshua Tree branch library yesterday and I think it's going to be a nice adventure.  The County only requires 2 hours per week, so I'll be working...

It's very interesting how the pain moves around to different areas of your body when you have Fibro.  My pain issues have been very minimal lately and I'm grateful for each day that I can live life...

I have been working on Dr. Howard Schubiner's Mind/Body program for about a week now.  I am exploring some very painful issues from my childhood and also addressing some deep inner fear I have about...

I am going to make a 2 1/2-hour drive to San Diego this morning for my monthly acupuncture appointment and visit with some of my old pals.  I'll be spending the night and returning home on Sunday...

I have decided to update my progress graph by 5%.  I feel I have gotten to the 10% mark even though I've had a difficult week with my IBS flare-ups.  My rationale for feeling as if I made progress...

I took a hike in Joshua Tree National Park once again.  There are endless places to explore and I felt pretty good all day.    The sun was shining, there was a slight breeze and the temperatures...

I woke up in the middle of the night last night with abdominal pain.  Then it woke me this morning as well.  Now I'm feeling fine.  It comes and goes, so I just need to ride it out. I just...

I am lucky I was called off from jury duty today.  I consider it a good day just based on the fact that I don't have to sit in the court waiting room while having abdominal pain.  The pain is only...

My husband and I enjoyed a nice long weekend together and we got to do our favorite thing, which is to rock climb.  My Fibro symptoms have been manageable lately and I'm optimistic. My hip joints...

Yesterday I received a "rejection letter" in the mail for a part-time job I had applied for.  This is the third part-time position that I've been rejected for in the past 4 months.  When I first...

Today I would consider an excellent day!  Not only did I NOT have any IBS symptoms today, but I also had a good amount of energy and NO joint pain either.  I took a hike in JTNP to an area west of...

I have been trying very hard to keep to the strict IBS diet, but this afternoon I still had an episode.  The abdominal pain didn't last as long as it did the last time and it may be because I drank...

Tony and I did a little bit of climbing today and I felt pretty good overall.  My energy level was not as high as I would have liked it, but after all I climbed pretty hard on Saturday.  It's...
