I make mistakes. Lots of them. Since my accident that resulted in a TBI and then fibro it means I make more than I ever did and I get so frustrated by it at times. One of the greatest mistakes is not admitting my limits-even to myself. I "forget" I am not the person that I was pre-accident/fibro and I push myself to do more, better, faster or "like I did before."
Fibro is the unseen syndrome that I have finally accepted. I am not saying I like it by any means but I have come to terms with the fact that I have it after several years. This blog will share my struggles, my victories and anything else I find of value while learning to live this life that I love.

An Essential Oil Blend For Fibromyalgia & More
Fibromyalgia can kick you from here to the end of the block and back again. Boosting serotonin is one way to help deal with pain, sleeplessness, depression, gut motility, endocrine function and a slew of other issues faced by those of us who suffer from Fibro.
Lately there is a lot of hype about essential oil usage, namely because of the marketing skills of a certain company whose name sounds a lot like Toe-Derra. I take personal issue with their tactics and even some or their recommendations. I won't get into them in any great detail here, however, I have always believed in the power of natural medicines and am happy to provide this information for a blend that works for some of my Fibro issues. I feel it is a good option for relief of some of my own issues and thought it might be appropriate for others.
Your mileage may vary of course-please do not take what information I am giving here as set in stone and certainly do not use it in place of your own physicians advice or prescription for your health.

Fibromyalgia Awareness Day 2015
Yes. That is what today is-Not sure what else to say. I admit I feel like I should have a lot to say but I just don't. Maybe it just surprises me that there are people who are not aware. They must all be living under a rock or something I guess!
So here ya go-be aware-people have fibro and you need to know it! If not for your sake for the sake of those with this insidious dis-ease that impacts every facet of the lives of those that have it.
Share what you did for this oh so auspicious occasion below in the comments section and give me some ideas of what I should have come up with myself. :)

It was one of THOSE days
Today was one of THOSE days. Spring has finally sprung in NW CT. The air was dry with temps in the 70's and the sun was glorius. It was one of those top 10 days of the year; the kind of day I wait in anticipation for all winter long. I have been trying to be kind to myself the past couple of weeks. It should have been incredible.

Fibro Fact
Been sort of out of commission for a bit. I have a business and running that has been a struggle so I have not been keeping up here. I figure if anyone can understand that it is someone reading a Fibro blog. :)
