Awesome! The high five at the end made me laugh out loud :)

I've been off the forum for a few months (demanding time at work), but I just tuned back in and saw this post - I hope she is OK too

I tried eliminating gluten, but did not see an improvement. I also saw no change when I added it back in. Eating a high fiber diet does help with my IBS symptoms, though. I've also found that when i eat sushi I feel better for about 3 hours. In general I think eating lots of fruits and...

We got a memory foam mattress. Memory foam is not for everyone, but i like it. It is warmer because it acts as an insulator. For me it is the right combo of soft surface and firm core. As far as pillows go, I either use no pillow or a very thin, soft pillow or my neck hurts terribly.

I don't think fibro affected me as a child. When I was a kid, I used to run as hard as I could just for the pleasure of it. I remember when I was about 10, my parents were doing some construction on our house and there was a lot of debris around. I noticed something stuck to my foot. When I...

I'm sad to hear they are so far away from you. We just got one in the town where I live, and there are two in the town where I work (at least, two that I know of). Work has been extra-demanding and stressful lately (in a good way, meaning there is lots of interesting work to do, but it must be...

I am so impressed you usually get up at 6 everyday to see your daughter to school! I have bad mornings too. It takes me an hour or two before I am very functional. But if I'm having a flare or I'm over tired, it takes a lot longer (sometimes most of the day). It helps me keep moving if I have...
