The diet connection is a useful point too. I’m on a nutritional keto low inflammation diet and it definitely makes a big positive difference to my skin and eyes.

Hello. I suffered with painful burning dry eyes for a number of years. It was awful. So painful. I was diagnosed with blepharitis but in the end, it was actually ocular rosacea. The rosacea started to appear on other parts of my face and I finally got a diagnosis from a dermatologist. What fixed...

Well put sunkakola. I would acknowledge that this is one of the most challenging aspects of fibromyalgia and chronic illness in general, when it is invisible. The terrible loneliness and isolation that we can feel when those we love are not able to recognise the enormous effort we put into our...

That’s good that you have the option of a Feldi practitioner. It was a game changer for me. At the very least, it’s good to feel we have choices and options even if different things help each of us. 🙏🏻

Hello there, I posted a photo and some references to a neuroscientist who specialises in the effects of long-term pain on the brain and vice versa. It’s super nerdy but it’s so interesting and to me, empowering. It means we are not imagining things. The pain centres in our brain are measurable...

Hello, I think we may be speaking of different things. I agree that people living with chronic pain are like super heroes in the way that we managed to keep going in spite of the pain and do adapt to it being the new norm. I completely agree. To anyone else, it would be completely unacceptable...

Hello, I was interested to hear your question as I had this conversation with my rheumatologist and she confirmed that one of the key traits of fibromyalgia is the body’s inability to heal quickly, if ever, from things that people without fibromyalgia would typically recover quickly from. So, to...

Delighted to hear it’s helping you. I even add some essential oils to cover the earthy smell so it’s more discreet (though I don’t mind it personally). They can also provide added healing benefits.

Terpenes are the medicinal compounds in marijuana found in the cannabinoids which deliver to cannabinoid receptors in our bodies. I recommend reading up about which terpenes are effect for providing cert benefits. A reputable provider should have done a lab analysis of each batch of plant. For...

Update on the medical situation; just had pelvic MRI to rule out ankylosing spondylitis in addition to fibromyalgia as this can cause finger pain and stiffness. X-rays were clear for regular arthritic condition in hands and feet. Constant pain now in one finger, not just upon waking...

Not sure if the question is for me or Forgetmenot but, to my knowledge, I haven’t had COVID, or at least not symptomatic.

This is very interesting and also a life saver for me. I use CBD salve for aching body and medical marijuana thc oil for sleep at night. I mostly sleep reasonably well now compared to years of terrible/no sleep. I also started a Paleo diet 5 years ago which transioned into a nutritional...

“sleep paralysis, sleep walking, talking, and hallucinations” are classic narcolepsy symptoms, as is EDS (excessive daytime sleepines). Also, long sleeps yet still exhausted after and needing to nap during the day. I can function for 4 hours then my body shuts down if I don’t sleep. My doc tried...
