What I found in 35,000 hours of work going back to 1978 was that lots of things can start FMS, CFS, and other things; injuries, viruses, bacterial infection, and other things that the body attempts to heal for months and years and such. When it fails at healing the “chronic symptoms” develop. They are secondary symptoms, symptoms caused by failing to heal in 3 to 6 months more or less. Most of these symptoms are…
Oh boy, what a question and you got the right person to ask, if you research and I don’t mean just google. I mean research the medications you take. You will find most if not all have side effects and one of them is weight gain and fatigue. Some also deplete vitamins so ask your doctors for information. If you suffer from Fibromyalgia pain/Chronic pain, it is difficult to move. If you also have any…
Bless your heart! I would say to you to get a notebook dedicated to writing down everything you eat and how you are feeling every day. Write down your pain levels and fatigue levels and how your food affects you. If any foods cause you to have abdominal pain eliminate them from your diet. Additionally, stop all sugar except in the form of fresh whole organic fruit. This is because I believe that fibromyalgia is…
Post Exertional Malaise is my most annoying symptom. I had to stop exercising during a flare 4 months ago, and trying to get myself where I can go for a swim again is highly frustrating, because even a 50m swim will use up all my energy for the day, so I need my husband to do everything else for me. Almost impossible to coordinate. Everything else I can mostly sort out on my own. Here…

You need to be active, but very slowly increasing what you’re doing Go to a physiotherapist and tell them you want to start SLOWLY you are able to move your knee fives. Do it. Tomorrow do six times, and soon.…
I’ve tried just about every medication possible over the years, and have just recently ended up with a configuration that works for me. Some of these are atypical, and were prescribed for something else but ended up helping. I am putting my results with each here, because although everyone reacts differently – especially fibro patients – I have found it helpful seeing other people’s experiences in order to help figure out where side effects were…
Here’s the thing…when I look around and see people who are much worse off than I am, I feel guilty for struggling at all. In fact, I get angry with myself for even considering their struggles in the first place. Really, my pain pales in comparison to so many others. Who am I to feel sorry for myself? Then I feel shame; I have no right feeling this way. When did I become so weak?…
It’s tough trying to be tough when you watch your poor spoonie dog becoming sicker and sicker. It’s one thing to be running the autoimmune disorder gamut as a human. But, can you imagine how confusing it must be for a dog? It’s like we just start to get one illness under control and yet another creeps up and knocks poor Leo for another loop.

Fibromyalgia is complex. If you live with fibro, you know that it’s not as easy as taking a “pill” or any other quick fix and just getting on with your life. Living smarter is about being proactive and taking responsibility for ourselves and our illness, and in that comes empowerment and greater levels of healing. Listed below are the best books and support for fibromyalgia and chronic illness that I have found. The authors…
Saladacco The Saladacco, or spiral slicer is a great cost effective tool I use often. Eating a whole foods based diet for fibro is easier with tools that support taste, texture and variety.No sharp edges like the razor board, everything is enclosed and easy to use. I use organic zucchini here. The manual machine allows for either an angel hair type zucchini (on left) OR a flat paper thin texture(on right) Either way we are creating variety…
