I'm also sorry to hear about your Fibromyalgia. I have had some clients that have had it and we've taken it so easy at times. One of my clients was such an inspiration to me, I'll never forget. June. She was amazing. I wish you the best. It sounds like you are doing the best things you can for yourself. Cassandras last blog post..How to set weight loss goals

@Melinda Aside from stress reduction strategies, these are my top five survival strategies. 1. I'm also drug free. 2. I'm careful about what I eat. 3. Getting a good night's sleep is important because there's fibrolmyalgia sleep and pain connection. 4. Fibromyalgia and getting into hot water and massage are effective. Water exercises would probably help too. 5. Fibromyalgia and Yoga

My mother has found great relief from her fibromyalgia with massage therapy. I believe she has sessions twice a month. Ann Zs last blog post..journey

Hi Timethief, So sorry to hear you suffer from Fibromyalgia--I have two girlfriends who suffer from this as well and I know it can be very debiliating. I don't have this but I do have a very painful chronic back condition (degenerative disc disease, arthritis, and bulging discs in the lumbar region). I can't use any kind of medication for pain--I avoid that like the plague--so I rely heavily on CAM to treat this painful condition. For me, acupuncture, biofeedback, and visualization seems to work best. I wish you peace and light for the New Year! Melinda Melindas last blog post..That Last Holiday
