    What is considered a good day?

    Most mornings I manage to get out of bed by 10:00 am but only make it from the bed to my recliner where I sit and rest until I have the energy to fix myself a bagel and a glass of tea. I will either watch TV or read or play on my laptop for several hours. Then I will get up and make the bed then...

    New Member's Story or Stories, I'M the First on this new thread!

    I don't really know how to begin telling you my story, but to say that it was just a total nightmare; I really believe at this time that if my God had not made this work better for me, I would not still be alive at this time! It all started because of my being an idiotic child in the 7th grade...

    The "L" word

    If there is one word that drives me mad beyond all others with fibro it is the "L" word - LAZY. For me it is either soul sappingly depressing or makes me so mad I overdo things trying to prove I am not and end up with a flare. When I first diagnosed and being seen by different professionals...
