We got one of those walmart cheapies (15' wide, 36" deep) 3 years ago, and I go get in it everyday in the summer and stay until I prune-out. The instant I get in that pool, the coolness of the water and the weightlessness, and whatever, instantly takes the pain away. I'm totally pain-free the entire time I'm in the pool. Once I come back inside, I'm usually good-to-go for an hour or so, before the pain comes back. When it's too cold for the pool, yep, baths and either heat packs or ice packs help. And I get my partner to rub my back with icy-hot as often as I can. Different things help at different times. This is such a wierd-o condition, fibro. Thanks so much for your blog. I'm going to keep watching it from now on, lol. My best comfort is the swimming pool.

I've recommended it so many times they should pay me!! I have had the pillow for about 4 years now and it has helped me sleep because it cushions all those nasty trigger points.

When I told them how sore I was all the time, they have been to suspect fibromyalgia. It is not a happy thought. I am just beginning to learn about its effects. Getting by with prayer and faith right now. Going to the gym when I can. After three spinal surgeries in seven years, my doctor insisted I lose even more weight and exercise regularly.

Without the distractions I would be a basket case. So I meditate, surf the internet, watch movies and last and worse of all... I eat. right now i am working at overcoming a flare and not looking forward to going back to work ugh! I also am a professional and hate that this is so interruptive in my life!!!!!!
