I am so happy to say that my fibromyalgia has been better the last several months. I still have the everyday aches and pains but nothing like when I was first diagnosed. At that time my lower back and neck were giving me constant grief.
I truly believe it's been a combination of a good chiropractor, a massage once in a while, and keeping to my walking schedule. I would like to be doing more than just the walking, but am not brave enough yet to venture into lifting weights or yoga. Although, I do hear yoga does wonders for some.
Our pool will be warm enough in another few weeks to start swimming. I just have to remember that I have to approach it slowly. It's difficult to do as I don't have any pain at the time; just a day or two later.
After reading about people who suffer from CFS I don't feel like I have any room to complain but I know that each of us has our own situation and we need one another's support. That is truly the reason I started this blog. I hoped to reach others who suffer from chronic illness.
I am amazed at how many wonderful people I have met online from my blog. They suffer considerably more than I do yet they always have something cheery to say and I so appreciate them.
Until Next Time :)

I'm glad to hear things are improving!
I agree...the on-line Fibro and CFS communities are great. So very supportive. I'm so thankful for all of you!
Christine - I often wonder if I just had FMS, if my story would be similar to yours. I am able to keep my pain levels around 2-3 most of the time thanks to Phenocane and chiropractic appointments.
I'm really glad you are doing so much better. It is nice to hear good news once in a while!
