    Musings on Fibro - Mindset, Bodyset ?

    I have been watching a lot of uTube on fibro. Interesting stuff. I mean, hey, I feel like crap so I'm sitting around right ? I mostly watch stuff presented by doctors, medical specialists. There are some theories that our biggest problem is serotonin reception and/or dopamine receptors. I don't...

    Couldn't even get up on time to go to the doctors

    ahhhh......for months I'd been coming up with excuses and reasons why I will have to wait till the summer is over to go to the doctor (I hate the heat and public transportation is real nasty in the heat over here).

    Caterpillar Walk - awareness & fundraising for fibro & chronic pain

    Hi, I live on the other side of the planet, but was happy to hear that there is a walk in NYC (and probably in other cities in the USA) organized by the Fibromyalgia Care Society of America (FCSA). I don't know anything about the organization and, sadly, am not in a position to financially...

    it's too much, just too much....

    I will use this post as therapy...I just have to because I have no other option. 5 weeks ago 2 newly born kittens were left in front of our building.

    travelling pain
