Fibromyalgia is a pain in the butt!
and in the leg and in the back and in the neck ...
any place where muscles can hurt.

Fibromyalgia is pain and fatigue to the MAX!

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder involving widespread pain of muscles, tendons, and ligments. It generally involves moderate to severe fatigue. Remember grandma talking about her "rheumatism"?

Fibromyalgia as a diagnosis has a long and varied history. It predominantly affects more women than men - an estimated 80% of people living with fibromyalgia are women. It is a condition that affects every aspect of a person's life.

What is Fibromyalgia? I believe it's a thief. It steals the beauty of movement from the body ... if you let it!

I've heard it described as "rigor mortis before death." Ouch! Rigor mortis is the condition after death in the body where muscles harden and the body parts become immoveable. Well in fibromyalgia the body parts still move but that pretty well describes the pain and the feeling of
stiffened, achy muscles. There is no longer any joy in movement. Not good.

I've heard it described as feeling like you're always getting the flu but never get the flu. You know how you feel when you're getting the flu? Achy, stiff muscles and a feeling that things are really 'off.' Well, what if you had that feeling all the time and the flu never came? Not good.

Fatigue is a big part of fibromyalgia too. You know how you feel after a good day of hard work? It feels so good to slide between the sheets because your body and your mind are exhausted. Imagine waking up after a good night's sleep, and that's how you feel ... for no good reason. Not good.

After days and days of this, can you imagine how weary a soul can get?

You can stop this thief!
I have been nearly pain free since 2000. It's been a difficult journey, but I've been able to maintain my sense of health and well being. I wake most mornings feeling rested and refreshed, and I have my joy, lots of joy.

I am not really an expert on fibromyalgia. I can't explain what causes fibromyalgia or present you with a fibromyalgia cure. My focus is on LIVING WELL with fibromyalgia, and I want to share my experience with those who are still in pain.

I believe that attitude is a BIG part of a successful journey in learning to live with fibromyalgia. I've had days, days on end, where the battle was for my mind. (This link does not work yet ....)
