I self-taught myself crochet, I figure with as many youtube videos and blogs I should be able to self-teach knitting too :)

I've kept a journal to track pain, sleep, exhaustion, triggers, and food intake: I went gluten for 3 months and I actually felt worse. Cutting highly processed foods, soda, and increasing water intake, fresh produce, and non-animal proteins in a balanced diet that includes dairy and grains helps...

I currently have medicaid and so far nothing is covered, the local medicaid office stated "prescribe Advil". I was just diagnosed last week so we are still trying to figure the whole medicine and medicine payment options, for now I'm just doing what I was doing before the diagnosis, non-drug...

I checked those out and plan on calling them tomorrow. The websites state if you are on medicaid or Medicare, they *should* cover the meds so I don't qualify for assistance. I plan on contacting the drug companies to find out if there is something that can be done since medicaid denies the...

I have tried to carefully sort through all the information online; some of it is just crazy talk but I have found tons of good information. I found the spoon theory today and found it intriguing I plan to show my husband after his finals are done for school; he is even more overwhelmed than I am...

Currently: Reading, gaming, and learning how to crochet. I am also going to be looking into learning how to knit and maybe someday get a sewing machine to learn how to sew.

Thank you, I look forward to getting to know the other regular members and learning all I can. I have been reading through threads and making notes. I figure many of my newbie questions have been asked a thousand times over so I'm mainly just looking over old posts and trying to process it all...

I'm in the very beginning stages from being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I am still trying to figure out a lot of things and one of them is medicine. So far, medicaid will not pay for any of the meds my doctor would prefer to start me out with; Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Savella, have all been...

I think I'm lucky so far, but I have literally just started my journey. My symptoms started soon after the birth of my LO, initially I choked it all up to being a new mom and lack of sleep from entirely breastfeeding. Once DD started sttn and I realized something just wasn't right I did some...

I just received the diagnosis today; I am relieved for the most part. I feel having an official diagnosis some how makes what I am going through real and not just all in my head. For the past year I have felt like I've slowly going to crazy since I am only 28 thinking there is no way I should be...

I just wanted to post a quick hello before I start reading through posts. I am a wife and mother to one little one, though we are hoping in a year or two to add one one to make our family complete. My little family is very much a geeky gaming family, even down to our two year old. I just...
