It sounds like a Different. Are you going to marry this person? Are you already married to such a person? Are you asking on behalf of someone?

Is my Illness Related to Ascension?
It would depend on your definition of ascension. I suspect that just like almost all illnesses can be viewed from an anatomic, biochemical, and biophysics perspective, and often explained largely from each of those perspectives individually, it can also be explained from a Mind/body/spirit perspective. I have discussed the mind-body perspective of fibromyalgia elsewhere. But not so much the spiritual interplay with the physical. So please bear with me as I give a perspective to…

Why Every Single Day is Different in Fibromyalgia?
Seriously, no two days are the same. I think that is the reality that most people can’t wrap their minds around. I have absolutely no idea what my pain will be like a month from now.

Why does Fibromyalgia have such a Bad Reputation?
Fibromyalgia has a bad reputation because many members of the medical community doubted that it was a real disorder until the last several years.

My Review after using different Fibromyalgia Medications?
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…
Is it possible to have fibromyalgia prevalent in mainly one side of the body?
Chronic pain in the upper and lower aspects of the same body side suggest a musculoskeletal disorder. In cases of fibromyalgia, a constellation of symptoms can exist which reflect simultaneous painful dysfunction of the pelvic and shoulder girdles. My clinical researchers have discovered that females can incur looseness and hypermobility (subluxation) of their pelvic girdle sacroiliac joints (note for physicians: diagnostic criteria are found in the Occupational Disabilities Guidelines). Pelvic instability can become a chronic…
