    Massages

    For me, massages are one strange phenomenon. We have a friend, here in Mexico, who is a licensed masseuse. She, very kindly, gives me one, once a week while I am here. Why I call them a strange phenomenon is because outside of a massage, I don't care to be touched. You can't, so much as...

    Majority of my pain is from Muscle Cramps. Does anyone else have a similar experienc?

    I rarely experience allodynia, but I have tremendous pain from muscles that repeatedly cramp up. Massage, even deep tissue massage, or self-massage with a hard tool usually provides significant relief for the acute pain. These cramps pop up all over my body. Pretty much whenever I use a muscle...

    Lymphatic massage

    I love lymphatic massage. You do have to make sure that the practitioner does it with the correct timing, but when done correctly the results are wonderful. I do not know how the lymphatic system ties in to chronic fatigue. My sister has fibromyalgia, and she always says she feels better for...

    Alone at work... and exhausted!

    I am all alone at work this morning, and will be for a few more hours. I work in a small office, and my co-workers are all coming in late because they have to work the evening, or sick (one of my co-workers has Fibro too!) I'm struggling a lot to accomplish anything because I'm just so tired...
