    one blissful day ...

    I had an absolutely brutal two day migraine. When it lifted, I had no pain. It felt like someone had removed the sand bags from my legs and arms - I felt light. I could jump out of the car without 'setting myself up' first. I could move without bracing myself. So strange. it was like my brain...

    self doubt and fibromyalgia

    Do any of you struggle with self doubt around your own illness?? It's bad enough that we have to fight the stigma of an invisible illness, but I find myself playing mind tricks sometimes.
