While fibromyalgia is a very difficult to understand disease it’s also difficult to spell. Since I blog about it this only comes up when I wonder why my spell checker or voice recognition software doesn’t know one of the most important words to me. When trying to spell it for someone the other day I again felt the same way. I’ve found that some people search for it using:

fibromialga
fybromyalgia
fibromyalsia

Let’s just call it fibro shall we? What’s the weirdest way that you’ve ever seen it spelled?

Since a picture is worth a thousand words I thought it may be a more helpful way to explain fibromyalgia. I might have some stored on my older toshiba laptop computers but nothing on this laptop of how sick I used to look when I was being diagnoised and on lots of medications. When I went searching for these though I basically found charts of yoga positions and tender points. I guess it’s really difficult to take a picture of an invisible disease. The other pictures just showed people wincing in pain. I thought the Lyrica commercials in the past have done pretty well with the invisible bruising concept which is what it feels like the most to me. What picture do you think would best define fibromyalgia?

I finally decided to turn off blog comments after a certain number of days after posting. I have been putting this off for years. However, there were just thousands of spam comments every day. I can only imagine that so many bigger bloggers just wade through these all day.

I hope all of their yardwork and electric swimming pool heaters are good because they won’t have time for home upkeep. I had to wade through them to get to a few very important comments about fibromyalgia. I don’t know why this blog gets so much spam as compared to my other site. It may be because it’s a health niche or it’s on a lot of dofollow lists. Either way, thanks for everyone who continues to comment and read; it just isn’t available on older posts anymore.
