    Meditation and Fibromyalgia

    Meditation is a great way to reduce the stress and anxiety that seems to accompany Fibromyalgia. Not only can it help this condition, but I believe that it can help with every condition that you may encounter in your life because it works on the mind and the body. All it takes is just a few...

    Photography benefits

    Obviously a huge problem with fibro, chronic fatigue etc is finding pass times that are enjoyable but not overwhelming.
