I have a one year old and she dose not understand that her mother feels bad some times. We still do things. I set out on the porch and watch her play, read her books, watch videos together. She seems ok with it because its how I've always been as far as she knows. Though sometimes she dose get...

I can handle the heat better then the cold. Cold is very painful to me, but the heat especially the humidity makes me feel dizzy and cranky. I think the best climate for someone with a pain condition would be the happiest in some type of mild climate.

I do not think it is wise for anyone to be dumping buckets of ice on there heads. I would just donate some money. I saw where someone dumped some water on a doll so maybe you could let a doll take your place if you really wanted to do it.

I didn't use it with fibro, but I have used a pill type called Marino. I don't know if I spelled that right when I had cancer. The pill was legal. It was supposed to help increase my appetite and settle my stomach. I don't think that the pill helped that much in the way of pain.

I think I was born with IBS, and my poor children have inherited it to. We always have trouble going to the bathroom, the constipation type, not the other. The most important thing I have found out over the years is to drink plenty of water. When I'm fully hydrated I have a better chance of...

I've used sleep to get rid of a migraine before, but I do not get them regularly. As for fibro, when it gets bad. I hurt to much to sleep, even when I try to sleep I just lay there and feel pain. I think its better for me to keep my mind as busy as it can be. I also couldn't spend all my time...

I had Mono when I was 15, and they diagnosed me with fibro a year later. I wonder if there really is a connection between having mono and getting fibromyalgia I wonder if any study was ever done on this. I googled it to look, and couldn't really find anything. I did find this interesting quote...

I was diagnosed when I was 16. I knew that teenagers could have it. I guess that children even younger then teens could have it to. It would be hard to diagnose them.
