learning

Hey guys- I'm new and this is my first post, but my fibro diagnosis is not new. I got diagnosed when I was 12 and have been learning to deal with the constant pain since. I'm 19 now and am trying to be a productive, functioning adult but it's hard. I work at a job where I have to be on my feet...

I have not been on for a while... I ended up reading some of my older threads. Seems I usually started a thread when I was very very depressed. This is usually where I wrote. Reading the responses to my threads now verses then is incredible. I did read them back then but I did not actually...

Balancing this mess is never easy, but lately it's frustrating sically things have gotten better over the past 6 years, and I'm grateful for that. After moving to a new town 2 years ago was a leap of faith to help my health, knowing no one here and never even seeing the apartment until I...

I joined this forum today, everybody here seems really supportive. To be honest though, at first reading things here depressed me more. Everybody struggles with it so much and it makes every part of life so hard and it's not fair to any of us. Especially being 20 years old and having failed out...

My new acupuncturist placed me on a strictly raw veggie diet (sans nightshades) for the past week. That's right, salads only, no fruit, no grains, no nuts, no cooking, just RAW VEGGIES. I used to be a serious carnivore and a terrible eater of processed foods and sugars. I've been working on a...

I love to read. I have been wondering, what books have all of you found to be most helpful for learning about and/or coping with fibromyalgia? Lately I have been thinking a lot about a book I read last year called "The Four Day Win". It is not actually about fibromyalgia; it is about loosing...
