    So incredibly wiped...

    Our daughter has attended the same child care facility since she was quite young. We were very fortunate, as it was local to the area that we lived, worked and played. The staff were always really great, much like a tight-knit family. We loved how progressive, nurturing and supportive they were...

    My Body has a Broken Furnace

    I am not particularly fond of this moment in time, but I am desperate to know if anyone has found any solutions to this problem. I overheat CONSTANTLY and have the worst time cooling down. Takes me forever. I drip sweat and despite the air conditioning, I often need a fan blowing directly at...

    Driving

    How many people here are still driving? I have been told I am not to drive due to severe sleep issues and as I let my license lapse years ago (avoided sorting it out because of illness), they did not have to send anything official in to the ministry of transportation. I have seen a few posts...

    Gym/Workout

    I just watched a video that was recommended by someone in the forum. It was of someone w/ fibro who appeared to suffer a great deal, but near the end it showed that she was going to the gym! I totally understand the benefits. I have been fortunate enough to experience those benefits before all...

    What's the word on medical marijuana?

    Is this even considered alternative medicine these days? Anyone here have a 'script (or not) and use it to help w/ the symptoms related to fibro? I have never been one to smoke it recreationally (or otherwise), but I am not naïve to the relief it can bring for others. Anyone care to shed...

    Decreasing the madness

    I am new, so please bear w/ me. I am desperate to find ways to decrease the madness and have a question about cause/effect. I live a very stressful existence. I have lived a life that always required me to bounce back from something major and deep down, I knew that I would eventually become...

    This is what dying feels like, right?

    Diagnosed w/ FM yesterday, although I am no stranger to chronic illness. I have been off work for a couple of years w/ a diagnosis of "severe hypersomnolence" in the absence of any other concrete diagnosis. After a couple of night time studies, my insurer required more evidence that it was...

    So much shame...

    This probably goes w/o saying, but having been diagnosed unexpectedly (ystrdy) after years of searching for answers and coming up short, I feel a lot of denial, frustration and sadness. I am not naive to the realities, but there is a crazy amount of shame that comes w/ this dx for me. First...
