That’s the same I for I have - for a 4 pad set, place them in a X shape. NEVER directly over the heart, or on both sides of the head.

Hello @Debzk and welcome. Until you get into the clinic, may I suggest that you do what you can to get more / better rest. Your body heals while you sleep. Come back and share the treatment plan… remember, every body is different, and will respond to different treatments. If something...

For me, the diagnosis meant that I would have fewer doctors treating me like it was all in my head, or a result of stress. Treating me with true kindness & compassion. I suffered for better than 10 years before I got a dx. I actually cried when told the dx. The relief was overwhelming...

Hello @Blixalyn, and welcome! I agree with @sweetkamie20 - will your bf go without you? A huge issue my husband had before we got married, was that too many times he saw that the husband was “forced to give up his hobbies if the wife wasn’t interested in participating.” He literally thought...

Good day @Caylee! I too am a long, long ago dx of FM (1999) with a serious back injury occurring just a few years later (2001). I’ve always been a “take ONLY what you need” type of person. After the back surgery failed, a new Dr decided the previous treatment with short acting meds was not...

Sodas with HFC (high fructose corn syrup) are really bad for everyone. The body doesn’t know how to process it, so it stores it in the liver, and it causes inflammation. Personally - I am allergic to it. My throat swells when I have it. When I removed it from my diet (It’s in A LOT of...
