    Coffee & Fibromyalgia Fatigue

    Personally, coffee doesn't really help me but that's because I've been drinking coffee for so long that I'm just used to the levels of caffeine in it. I drink energy drinks when I'm tired and have to stay up all day, they usually work really well for it and can help me make it through the day.

    Explaining Fibromyalgia

    I've also encountered a lot of people that doubt me. Just because I'm young and seemingly healthy, they think that it's impossible for anything to be wrong with me and that I'm just making up excuses or being lazy. I have one cousin in particular who can will tease me when I say I'm not feeling...

    Pain management

    I've heard of ice baths for athletes but not for fibro related pain. Personally, I couldn't imagine doing them. I love the cold and even being cold, but that seems like a little too much for my liking. However, I have a couple heating pads with cow corn in them that can be thrown in the...

    Fatigue and pain

    Usually my fibro related fatigue is pretty easy to manage but the last couple of days it's seemed to have gotten a lot worse. Last night for instance, I slept eight hours straight and then woke up, I was up for maybe an hour, and I was already fighting to stay awake. I've also been in a lot more...

I've found that energy drinks help on days when I need to stay alert all day, but obviously those aren't for everyone. Otherwise, I...

    Two weeks after diagnosis.

    The best advice I could ever give you is to keep your head held high. There's going to be plenty of people out there that will tell you that its all in your head and there's nothing really wrong with you. Don't let them get the best of you.

    Pain management

    I've also been told to try yoga. Of course, it would be something meant for a person's better days but the stretching and just being active is supposed to help. I have yet to try it myself but I've been meaning to. I figured it can't hurt to do it on my good days.

    Too good to be true?

    While I've never gotten steroid injections personally, I have several family members that have gotten them. Most have them got relief from it for anywhere from a week to a month but then ended up with the pain back again. Some of them didn't get any relief from it at all. I've also had family...

    Famous people with fibro

    I had no idea that Morgan Freeman had Fibromyalgia! I've actually never looked into this before, but it would be really interesting to find out more celebs with it.
