    Could it be fibromyalgia even if my pain manifest itself differently?

    how to make cooking less of a torture

    Hi, I am vegan, so that means that I almost always have to prepare food at home. I also live on my own. Thankfully my sister helps me out quite often - especially with the whole cutting of fruits and veggies process, but when she is not around, I really have to gather all the energy I have, in...

    showering

    Does anyone else find the mere act of showering to be exhausting? I am down to showering 3-4 times a week because I just don't have the energy to do it. I can no longer get in and out of my tub and my shower is to small to put a shower chair in it so I have to stand while I shower. Sometimes...

    I can't keep staying this drained

    Since being diagnosed a few months ago, I've gone overall downhill. I want to get up and do things even just around the house, but I constantly have no energy and enough pain that most days I can't do much besides fixing something small to eat for myself, my boyfriend, and my 13 year old...
