- Can't figure out if I'm having a flare or what. Have vertigo with no known prior cold symptoms. And after a day of self-care for that, I walked a few blocks to the mall and found it very over-stimulating (much more than usual) and started having...
- Is this hoopla format all about being APP-able? Perhaps. Maybe it will get better. They are responding to our messages.
- I've been working at home freelancing. Frustrated that I can't handle more than 2.5 hrs of work. But it's true, time after time. Did find relief from upper back pain by taking a 1/8 of lowest dose of tizanidine (Zanaflex) which was nice. Can't stand...
- I take a low dose of opioid for fibro pain every day (methadone). But with all the new fuss (and old) about drug contracts, bad press,etc, I keep thinking, well, maybe I don't need the drug.So, I took half the dose for more than a few days. I also...
- I usually can't handle much more of the world of errands or anything. About an hour and a half a day is about it or else I get over-excited (kind of approaching a normal level) which for me means more pain.Needless to say, it leaves me with a...
- Hi, this is almost a comic post. I couldn't believe it. Once again, my sister asks me to "'chip in" to restore some godawful photograph or print from WWII, a relic of my recently dead father who left us out of his will.She will hang it in her home...
- Needed some support about my cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the first time in 35 years. Toni Bernard gives wise counsel and is very accessible. Luckily my library has her books. She gives generous peeks inside her books on her website...
- I get the newsletter from this UK fibro site: http://www.ukfibromyalgia.com/sitemap.htmlIt has some links on it to research studies and all kinds of other interesting stuff that I haven't seen anywhere else.You can subscribe to the newsletter (free)...
- I overdid it more than a week ago (a couple of extra errands and a longer than usual walk) and have paid the price. I am getting so frustrated with myself. I have a recent diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis (& fibro x19 yrs.) and I can't walk more...
- Found this recent quote in an interview with Stephen Hawking in a Spanish newspaper. "...My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesnt prevent you doing well, and dont regret the things it interferes with....
- Rough weeks. My very old father died and for the last 9 years, I was kind of slow-fuming about being left out of his trust (with my siblings) in favor of his second wife, who, shall we say, orchestrated that maneuver.On top of some mourning, there...
- From a research article: http://synapse.koreamed.org/search.php?where=aview&id=10.3344/kjp.2015.28.3.169&code=0047KJP&vmode=FULLINVALIDATION AND LOW QUALITY OF LIFEThere are too many symptoms in this disorder, the symptoms appear too severe and too...

- Came across this article about the lack of personalized care at the VA. It's pretty disgusting: http://www.startribune.com/cut-off-veterans-struggle-to-live-with-va-s-new-painkiller-policy/311225761/
- New diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis was depressing me so I researched the medical literature on PUBMED and found physical therapy exercises to strengthen the knee to be helpful.So, my insurance didn't cover my last & wonderful physical therapist....
