Re: How F Wow, what a history. I certainly hope your mom and sister are more understanding. I'm also from the "walk-it-off" and "suck-it-up" schools. It's tough when we get knocked down from that lofty position ;-) .

I never thought of combining ginger and cranberry for tea. I'll have to give it a shot. I do make ginger lemonade during the summer.

Now, that's scary. I've had 2. I am very stiff for a couple hours after I wake up. Around 6 a.m. By 11, I desperately want to go back to bed. Some days are worse than others.

Everything feeds off everything else. The fibro triggers the anxiety, the anxiety intensifies the fibro ... The sciatic pain can irritate the fibro and the anxiety. If you walk a certain way to try and ease the sciatic pain, you stress other parts. The sciatic pain probably has nothing to do...
