I am a Fibro fighter. I was diagnosed in 2009 when my kids were only 2 and 3 years old. At the time, I was in my mid-20's. I tried the traditional approach to treating this illness with all the drugs that my docs prescribed. They made me worse and worse to the point that I was completely incapable of caring for myself. In late 2010, I decided to try fighting fibro without the drugs. I was taking over 13 drugs and 3 bio-identical hormones. Now, I have my Adderall for my ADD and a prescription for Vicodin for my migraines. But I take the two drugs sparingly on an as-needed basis. My goal over the past 4 years has been to treat this disease from a holistic approach. I completely changed my lifestyle, my diet (I'm a vegetarian now), and I mainly rely upon naturopathic remedies. I've accepted my diagnosis, I've moved beyond the depression (about 98% of the time), and I've learned to have a full life again. It will never be the way it was, but its gotten so much better than back in 2009. I'm starting to feel more normal now. I've started my first blog to discuss treating Fibro holistically and with a gentle naturopathic method. And I've now found a happy place in my life where I have the energy and the desire to connect with other Fibro folks. I want to hear their stories, I want to help, I want to connect with others who battle this same disease.
