    Any newly diagnosed moms with little ones?

    I have three kids ages7,4, and 9 months. I guess I've been having these symptoms progressively worse for years. I quit work because of stress 3 years ago but now I think it may have been because of the fibro symptoms. I can laugh off knocking over a whole display of salsa in the grocery store or...

    Diaphragmatic Breathing and Blood Pressure

    I know some don't believe in natural methods, or would prefer to rely on medication, but I prefer to limit the number and type of medications I put into my body. Blood pressure medication is something I'm averse to, because it could complicate at least a few of my other issues. I have a...

    How do you get yourself going in the morning?

    Mornings are not a great time for me since I got fibromyalgia. When I first wake up the idea of hopping out of bed is just that - an idea (that I don't particularly feel motivated to act on).
