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.  :)

A llittle info for you or those who have a loved one with Fibro:

How I "Caught" Fibromyalgia

How it all started...

While fibro is not something you can contract from another person or persons there are links to it being hereditary. I believe my paternal grandmother, my mother and father all suffered from it but it was at a time long before anyone ever thought to diagnose this syndrome. 


My sister also had fibro. She was the first diagnosed person that I knew who suffered from it and it was that diagnosis that first brought my attention to this chronic condition. Because she had the illness I researched it, trying to find something that might help her. I recognized that I probably had a "touch of it" but did not want to admit that I was experiencing the same illness she had because it seemed to anger her that I would say such a thing. She told me I could not possibly have fibro because my symptoms were not completely the same as hers. Had she only known then what I know now, but she never will as she has passed on.
