I have a 10 hour long car ride tomorrow that I am dreading. As much as being physical and moving hurts me, so does just sitting in that stupid car. ha. My boyfriend and kids and I are going to visit my parents, so it's a super exciting reason to make the drive, I just am not looking forward...

Hi Reanna! Welcome to the forum! I think there's definitely plenty of coping methods you can find through out this forum, I've had the most luck with just keeping my stress as low as possible. (Which as a mom of an 18 month old and a 2 month old, is completely impossible haha) But...

I recently started an online, independent contractor position, so now I can thankfully say that I do have a job. But, before that I hadn't held a job down in a couple years because of my fibro. My degree is in culinary arts, so it was almost impossible to stand in a kitchen for 8+ hours a day...

I actually just recently started a blog, however it's more focused on frugal living and family and whatnot. I'm debating throwing in some stuff on fibro, but I'm not sure if that should be a separate blog or not. Maybe I could get some advice. Would you want a fibro based blog or would you...

Thanks for all those tips Libragirl. I'm not a big tea drinker at all and when I think of chamomile, that's the only way I can think to ingest it lol. Lemon grass as well. So do you have any suggestions on how to take those, besides tea?

I definitely agree with everyone else. It does sound a lot like fibro, but so do a lot of other things. Most people who have been diagnosed with fibro have been tested for absolutely everything else under the sun. So, before you can jump to any conclusions, make sure you get everything...
