    Big day

    So I had a Healthy Person day on Sunday, and it was a blast! We went to the Bengals football game, complete with tailgating, beer and big crowds. I managed to get through the day without using up all my energy, and pain was low enough to be ignored. The game was exciting, the weather was...

    concerns about tramadol. Seeking advice from long term users

    I've been taking tramadol for almost a year now. It has turned into a daily thing, and I need it to feel "normal." It combats my fatigue, gives me energy, and lessens my anxiety. However, I can't help but feel like an "addict," or "dependent," and put myself down about it. Is it normal to...

I used to be a serious carnivore and a terrible eater of processed foods and sugars. I've been working on a...

    I just joined today 8.20.15 hello!

    wow, don't know what to say. I've had fibro for a long time, and its progressed until I feel isolated and alone, and over-joyed when I have the energy that actually has something to do with just fun and NOT another doctors appointment. It makes me sad, and exhausted, wears on me. I've never...
