    Hallo!

    My name is Libbi, I'm (almost) 26, and I have been struggling with fibro and all its related conditions since I was 18. I'm unemployed due to my health, but I am an artist and writer. I would love to make some new friends, to commiserate with and be inspired by! :D

    How did your pain start out?

    Just curious... was it a slow and steady buildup, or did it strike fast and hard? Personally, mine felt more like an attack that anything.

When we eat acid-making foods, our body will easily get sick, and we are more apt to contract a disease, or to have more arthritis or other joint pain. Water has a pH very close to the optimal pH for the human body, so drinking...
