This is something I’ve often pondered. Even though I’ve been working from home running blogs and websites for several years I have made just enough to get by. Considering how bad my fibromyalgia is, this has been a major feat. When I first started out I was sure that I was going to be the next big blogger.

Several years later with my new need for the best anti wrinkle cream from all of the stress sometimes I waver. I’ve branched out into a lot of different arenas and tried a lot of things that have failed. The one constant reminds: I will do whatever I can to make this work. It will work because I really don’t have any other options.

I think you have to be somewhat optimistic to be in this business. You also need to be realistic which is a careful balance. You need to believe enough to invest in your own sites or work for smaller companies who may make it big. You have to believe that the company you work for, your blog or just the Internet in general will survive long enough to make it worth your time. It takes a certain degree of risk and definitely perseverance. What do you think?

This is one of those areas where I’ve really had to balance fibromyalgia and my working life. I’m unable to work at a desk because no matter what configuration I try it ends up hurting my back. So I usually end up working on the couch. This makes organization difficult because I really don’t have a dedicated office space. Luckily, I do have a pretty pink laptop.

My biggest problem right now is what I call “cord mountain”. Scaling it would probably be a viable part of diets that work. It’s where all of my different chargers and cords are scattered. There is just no pretty way to decorate it or at the very least make it practical. I know that there are docking stations out there but I need something bigger that will accommodate my laptop cord. Any suggestions?

I’m in a little different boat since I got sick when I was quite young. I knew that fibromyalgia would effect any relationship that I entered into. I try to minimize the impact but still when you try to blend anyone else’s life with your own you’re going to have to deal with all their problems and they are going to have to deal with yours including fibro. So any long married fibro couples out there, how do you do it?
