I sometimes have this weird taste in my mouth, just before my IBS flares and I have a mild episode of concentration loss and irritability (almost like some of you might describe the fibro fog). It is somewhere between metal, wet dog and cow behind. (sorry a bit graphic, but this is how close I...
This might be a sensitive subject to some of you.
I had the worst ever menstrual pains this past week, so bad that I just dropped everything and went to bed. The pain medication would not even help, nor a worm bath or a hot water bottle.
This set me to thinking and mostly wondering.

We all have different religions and belief systems. Some of us use our religion to strengthen our spirits, while other use it as a means to healing. I have heard a few people mention that since being diagnosed their believe and relationship with God has been strengthened and this helps them cope...
After reading some of your posts I found something a lot of us have in common. Food or medicine allergies.

I just started my own blog on the forum.

I had an absolutely terrible night last night.
I went to bed the normal time, as I have a set bedtime routine, which sometimes help with the sleeplessness. I just couldn't fall asleep. Everytime I started drifting off my 22 month old son would wake up with a scream resulting in process sleep...
We all like to take a drink sometimes to relax, but with fibro this is not always possible. I like my glass of white wine now and again, but with my IBS it is all that I can drink, other drinks just exaggerate the cramps and bloating.
I have a few questions I would like some of your opinions...
My sister has fibro and have lately been considering an surgical SCS (Spinal Cord Stimulation device) inplant.
