Fibromyalgia: Invisible Disabilities

Published by brightfeather at January 8, 2008 3:48 pm under Conscious Living, Depression, Fibromyalgia, Health and Healing, Lifestyle, Meditation, Pain - An invisible disability is a disability that is not (always) immediately apparent to casual observers; that is, it is not visible to their naked eyes. I find fibromylagia to be an aggravating disease because the disabilities I suffer are frequently invisible to others and therefore, they expect more of me than what I can deliver.

Complementary and alternative medicine for fibromyalgia

Published by brightfeather August 27, 2007 at 2:21 pm under Fibromyalgia, Health and Healing, Yoga - Complementary and alternative therapies for pain and stress management aren’t new. Some, such as meditation and yoga, have been practiced for thousands of years. But their use has become more popular in recent years, especially with people who have chronic illnesses, such as fibromyalgia. Several of these treatments do appear to safely relieve stress and reduce pain, and some are gaining acceptance in mainstream medicine.
