Since I couldn't sleep (imagine that) I was sitting at the computer trying to figure out why there are no major corporations educating and fundraising for this disease. My eldest daughter works for the M.S. Society in Toronto Ontario where there is constant funds being raised for public awareness and most important to fund research into hte disease. I wondered why there is nothing in place for fibromyalgia...is there no celebrity with the disease perhaps?? In trying to learn a whole new way to live, horribly traumatic this disease, I am beginning to find a way to continue with a life that is sleep deprived, painful and causes numerous other slightly disabling issues (like the lack of memory, horrible reflux, sleep deprivation etc.). Any good direction would be welcome, I am trying to finish a degree and having a wonderful time with the memory hah!!! The part about trying to function while sleep deprived or at times unable to wake for any period of time is also messing with my schudule!! Thank you for the article, I was actually able to get a laugh!! Diana Hello, and I must say what a refreshing and enjoyable way to interpret the hell I have been living in!!

Can anyone shed light on this? I have also heard that consuming dairy products too much can also increase suffering. Can anyone shed light on this?

But I haven't built it yet -- because I have fibro LOL. Right now I am in a super flare and just trying to get this house a bit clean is kicking my butt. I have a stretch of time to try to get that done, so I have hopes. My long term goal is really a gift from my guy. He said the two things I am better at than anyone he knows (grain of salt needed here) are being a psychic and writing. The writing is impacted by my exhaustion, pain level and fibro fog. Acting as a psychic somehow bypasses all of that and still works. So, long time goal is to set up small shop to offer readings to the public and write while I wait for my clients to start and build over time. Not too long ago I found that I also suffer from PTSD from some years of military service. That has thrown a wrench in the works for a couple of reasons. One is that my fibro expresses itself a lot in muscle spasm and its byproduts of rigidity and avalanching of pain symptoms. That can be initiated by overspending my available physical energy and strength but also by getting emotional. A good cry is so. not. helpful for me. This new wrinkle has made management more challenging but I am working with a MSW who has a specialty of Vets with PTSD. A question I would love to ask you is if you have managed to figure out how to maintain a slightly clean house with fibro. I have no hope of sparkling, but just not grubby would shake my world.
