  • College Student With Fibromyalgia? Here Is How To Stay Organized.

    College Student With Fibromyalgia? Here Is How To Stay Organized.

    At the age of thirty-nine I decided to go back to college and finish my degree that I had started over 20 years prior. If I thought college was hard at eighteen, I had no idea what was in store for me. At this time, I was married with three kids and a full-time job. I wondered how I was going to fulfill all my responsibilities. I didn’t know at first what my end goal was going to be other than just getting my AA. It wasn’t until a couple years in that I finally decided on Psychology.

    Not Your Everyday Challenges

    About a year into taking 2 classes per semester and working full-time I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I always ran myself ragged as an adult, so I was used to feeling tired all the time. This time though the tired came with pain, a lot of pain. My first reaction was that I wasn’t going to let anything stop me, not even fibromyalgia. I pretty much didn’t until 2018. This was the year that fibromyalgia stopped my whole life. I had to take time off from work and school for a few months. Even when I went back to both I still wasn’t at full capacity.

    I seemed to have developed a tenacity in my old age though and I still wasn’t going to quit. I kept on taking 2 classes per semester and working full-time. Let’s not forget still raising a family at the same time. This has not been easy, but nothing worth doing is.

    Staying Organized

    I often hear, “I don’t know how you do it” from people. I always tell people my two secrets are that (1) I have a planner that I use for everything and (2) my house is a mess (don’t judge). When you are working towards a goal sometimes sacrifices have to be made. Sadly, what I sacrificed a lot of was taking better care of myself (see above flare). The other part that has been hard is the fact that I am a Virgo and I LOVE organization. But loving being organized and having the energy to clean and organize your house are separate. I can’t do it all, so I have to choose.

    This is exactly how I organize my college career down to the semester level. I do not claim that what has worked for me will work for you. The key is you have to take your own life circumstances into account and do what is best for you.

    It helps if you define your goal completely. This means knowing what you are working towards and how to get there. If you were like me and couldn’t see that far ahead then I broke down my goals.

    1. Finish my AA
      1. Use your college advisor to help determine what classes you need.
    2. Find my passion and/or interests while working on my AA
      1. Take classes that sound interesting, not just requirements. If it meets both even better!
    3. Decided major is psychology
      1. Map out the reality of what it will take to choose that major and what jobs are available with each progressive degree.
    4. Transferred to University to complete my BA
      1. Make sure the university you choose has proper accreditation (regional, etc)
    5. Choose what to do with BA                                             
    6. PhD or Masters?
    7. Decided on Masters….choose graduate school/program

    I’m still working on this, but this is my basic guide on decisions I need to make and breaking the big goal down to smaller ones.

    Semester Goals

    The first step I take at the beginning of each semester is to map out my semester. I am addicted to Erin Condren planners, but you can use any that you want. I write out each week’s readings and assignments, making special note of bigger projects or exams. This really helps me plan out my energy to make sure I complete everything when I have the most energy. I recommend planners and even wall calendars so you can easily visualize what is to come. You can even use technology and utilize apps on your phone for assignment reminders.

    Speaking of technology if you are using Word or Google Drive make sure to break down courses into corresponding folders to keep all your documents organized and easy to find.

    Each week I look at what is expected of me in my classes and then I fill in other responsibilities outside of school. Each Sunday, I review the week ahead and see where I can fit each item in the best. I have learned to give myself plenty of leeway for those days I don’t feel well. This has served me well over the last seven years. Granted there have been times I had to really struggle and push through pain and exhaustion, but that is also just part of living with fibromyalgia.

    More Tips and Tricks

    1. When I was working on my AA, I had to take classes at the college physically. This was a challenge since I worked all day. My secret to getting through these days was to not just pack lunch for work, but dinner as well. I went straight to school after work and sat in my car. This was my free time and I could either eat my dinner and do some homework or take a nap (which I often did). I recommend only a 20-minute nap at the most, otherwise you will feel too tired to go on with your night.
    2. Since enrolling in Penn State World Campus all my classes have been online. Still I feel drained after work and so I often lay down for a quick nap before starting any homework. Sometimes this ends up that I cannot function the rest of the night. This is where the planning and allowing leeway from above comes in. This is why I plan for earlier deadlines to give myself more time if I need it.
    3. Join clubs! You are not too old, and this is a great way to establish social support. In addition, if you do want to go to graduate school having some extra-curricular activities is good for your application.
    4. Wellness is so important to maintain while completing college. This is the one area I struggle with the most and need this reminder myself.

    Ways to maintain wellness

    • Find nutritious snacks to keep at your desk while you study.
    • Read while on the treadmill or bike.
    • Get enough sleep.
    • Drink plenty of water.
    • Use meditation to clear your mind.
    • Sometimes you have to just put it all down and go for a walk outside!

    These are just some of the ways I have gotten through college as an adult-student with fibromyalgia. I think being a college student with fibromyalgia is possible and I hope these tips help you! Feel free to reach out if you are in the same situation. I would love to hear any tips and tricks you may have as well.

  • Joint Health And Fibromyalgia

    Joint Health And Fibromyalgia

    Joint health concerns are not uncommon for those with fibromyalgia and many have joint involvement of some kind. 

    More people with fibro are exhibiting joint or bone density issues and a tendency towards any of the various forms of arthritis.

    Effectively treating joint issues requires addressing all areas, including diet, movement, lifestyle, and better sleep strategies. 

    Joint involvement or joint disease can vary in degree depending on history, ongoing deficiency and active TRP’s (trigger points) that can ‘pull’ on and exacerbate the integrity of joints.

    In fact, many of the fibromyalgia TRP’s are located in close proximity to joints used within daily range of motion such as knee, hip and shoulder joints.

    FEELING ALL FLARED UP ?

    Although various aspects of fibromyalgia are not inflammatory in nature, any form of arthritis that often accompanies fibro is an inflammatory condition as well as a perpetuating factor within fibromyalgia.

    And, inflammation often coincides with many co-conditions and/or digestive illness. 

    When working to strengthen joints, we are also working on the surrounding areas including tendons, ligaments and muscle.

    For instance, in osteoarthritis, the joints can become out of alignment through wear, injury, active TRP’s (trigger points) or inadequate muscle strength.

    In the case of rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammation is more active due to the body attacking itself as an ‘auto immune’ response.

    Yet, In all cases of arthritis, the inflammation, TRP’s, myofascial constriction and any deficiency need to be addressed.

    ADL’s (Activities of Daily Living) can be more challenging for people with joint related pain. We talk often about the differences between these activities of daily living that can sometimes be detrimental and the focused exercises that strengthen and create greater agility within the body.

    This is essential to understand and remember. For example, while leaning down to clean a bathtub may be nearly impossible with painful joints, participating in focused exercises can be done by most people.

    Safe and effective exercise 

    As a practitioner and trainer living with and specializing in fibromyalgia, I get it, I will never tell you to just “go exercise” I want you to have the best tools. 

    Because joint pain can be debilitating, we need to be sure we are keeping our activity safe and effective.

    I always recommend using variety in your activities to avoid repetition and stress on joints.

    Click Here to Visit the Store and find Much More….

    For instance, we use the bike for increasing strength around the knee, but only in short increments, like 3-5 minutes. We also want just enough intensity to get the blood flowing around those joints. Blood flow will help to decrease pain.

    For joint health, it is essential to focus on increasing muscle strength whenever possible. Joints and muscle support each other.

    Joints are strengthened through daily strength applications, starting with body weight exercises and progressing to light to moderate weight training.

    Using weights that strap around the ankle/lower leg area can be very effective when working to strengthen knees and ankles.

    Exercises such as leg lifts or lying on a raised platform using ankle weights can be done safely even for those who cannot get down on the floor. A bed can also be used. 

    We also use light compression wear around vulnerable areas like the knees, feet (nerve pain) and shoulders. We find Copper Wear helpful.

    Experiment with different compression wear until you find brands that help you and feel comfortable for every day wear. Compression is essential for increasing blood flow while protecting joints and muscles.

    What about nutritional support for joints?

    We have experimented with various remedies for joint health over the years. We have found a few that seem to be more effective over long term use. 

    • Hyaluronic acid, Strontium, Collagen (Great Lakes brand) Fish oils, CLO (Green Pastures Cod Liver Oil), Glucosamine, Biosil liquid, and FG’s Joint Jello as shown below. 
    • I also like MSM for joints, hair and skin. Although I am not linking one here, as I have found many good brands out there, including Jarrow for MSM. 
    • Additionally, I use and recommend Boswelia for natural anti-inflammation and respiratory support. The Savesta brand is a good potency. 
    • Anti-inflammatories such as curcumin, ginger, black cumin oil ..
    • And I especially like the Krill Healthy Joint Formula shown below:
      Be sure whatever brand you take is of good quality. 

    Krill Healthy Joint Formula, a patented combination of krill oil, hyaluronic acid and astaxanthin.
    Research has shown krill oil to be especially effective for joint health.

    Hyaluronic acid (found naturally in joints) lubricates and cushions joints, supports cartilage and soft tissue.
    This form of HA combined with krill oil has been found to be better absorbed as well.

    Krill oil, a natural source of astaxanthin, suppresses free radicals, can reduce inflammation and enhances mitochondrial function, making this a perfect supplement for fibromyalgia and joint health alike.

    Fibro-Girl’s Joint Jello For Joint Health

    Do you want an easy and fun way to get heal-thy collagen into your diet? How about a healthy jello that tastes good and helps to nourish not only your joints, but skin, hair and nails as well..

    This jello recipe can be made as low glycemic as needed OR with full strength juice, depending on your dietary needs.

    My recipe is a lower glycemic version to keep the natural sugar content low.

    Lisa’s Joint Jello Recipe:

    • -Simmer one cup of juice liquid (1/2 tart cherry OR cranberry juice,1/2 water) on stove in small pot.
    • -Add one Tbsp. of Great Lakes gelatin and stir until dissolved.
    • -Add one more cup of cold juice liquid.
    • -Add up to 1/4 cup diced or grated organic orange peel or carrot. 
    • -Stir again and pour into glass pan or ice cube trays and put into refrigerator for at least three hours to gel.

    Enjoy and share with other family members.. we can all benefit from healthier joints and better sleep as well!!

    The Oska for cellular healing 

    We have been using the Oska for just over a year now, and it has become another tool in our toolbox. 

    Check out the Oska if you haven’t yet. Top of this article right under navigation bar. The Oska Wellness company is giving our followers 55.00 off and a 60 day money back guarantee.

    Oska works at the cellular level on joints, muscle pain, tendons, ligaments. It is not a cure, and it is also not a tens unit which does not heal on a cellular level

    What about the power of butter oil and fermented cod liver oil?

    Green Pastures Fermented Cod liver oil with butter oil is a powerful combination for the body and joints. Check out the link and read more about this product we have been using for years. If it is not in the budget right now, make a note for later. It is worth trying. >>

    Our skeletal system is the ‘foundation‘ of our bodies. 
    Everything we put into our bodies must go through the process of digestion and this can affect bone and joint nourishment.  How and when we sleep also affects the integrity of our bones and joints; create a lifestyle that supports this foundation while supporting a more functional life with fibromyalgia at the same time.

  • Daily routine development for the relief of fibromyalgia

    Daily routine development for the relief of fibromyalgia

    By: Dr Alexa James

    Living with Fibromyalgia is challenging.

    We really need researchers to get on with this weak condition, which appears to be advancing on the basis of several factors, attention and time, and to fully find out how Fibro works and the best way to treat symptoms. Doctors have just treated the symptoms and thought that it would be enough to control it, but it doesn’t work long-term.

    In the past, fibromyalgia tended to be considered by the medical community as something people who had pain, sleep problems and other problems for whom they could not find an explanation. We appear to be just reaching the point when some researchers are ready to say, “Wait, there’s more to this,” than they thought before. As a result, the people with Fibromyalgia now have to turn to the communities that have the symptoms and problems we face in order to find any kind of alleviation of the pain, emotional turbulence and other symptoms that we experience.

    The below list includes the things I’ve discovered that can help me manage my fibromyalgia every day. I’m looking forward to helping someone else with this condition because it’s a fight and because it can be very lonely. People don’t understand how it affects us. They just don’t get it even when we try to explain it.

    You can’t imagine how you feel, yet it still works, so you don’t think it should be that bad. That’s it. It’s quite horrific and confusing because you have very little control over the physical feeling. If you feel as if I do, take a favor and implement these tips to manage the Fibromyalgia to extent at least

    For this condition, there is no cure-all. These techniques are not meant to tell me “Do these and it’s going to be fixed.” They’re not going to fix you, but they can help you cope with what you’re dealing with and any relief is better than anyone if you live as we do.

    1. Let somebody help you and don’t stress it.

    That’s easier to say than done, I understand, but actually try. Since we often have to fight against sensations of evaluability and feel like a burden, this can be one of the most difficult things we can do for us. Knowing when to give in and ask for help can have a major impact on how we generally feel. Do not worry about what others think, your emotional stress will also decrease. You are a combatant. You’re a combatant. You’re fighting against a condition people don’t understand and can’t even imagine. They don’t really think because they don’t know how it feels.

    2. Make a kind of diagram listing common activities in your lifetime.

    Provide every activity with a value based on the amount of effort to achieve and the time it takes for recovery before and after. Use this chart to help you determine your next tip, as well as to help you figure out how each activity impacts you. (I started using a 5-point system.

    3. Learn what the average day your body is going to handle.

    Not a good day, not a bad day, but one of the intermediate days we spend most of us. Once you know that, you can assess what activities you can handle before you stop, or you can predict what you can fit for a certain period of time.

    4. Prepare to minimize their impact on your body before activities.

    In fact, I have gone so long before and after to take a schedule and shady days to visually help I see how I need to take care of myself. It’s not like my body was, and I sometimes find it difficult to remember and to take this fact.

    5. Allow yourself time to recover from every task or event, based on your body.

    It is as important to reclaim as to prepare. This takes time, that means that fewer activities are to be performed during the day, so for many of us it is difficult, but necessary. We hurt ourselves more and can do even less if we do not take the time to do these things. The preparing and recovery of aspects can be helpful if a calendar like the one I said before is created. It is sometimes easier to accept when you see how much time your body needs to recover.

    6. Begin to systematically identify what foods contribute to the symptoms you experience and track your pain levels or other symptoms (many do with a pain journal already in this last part).

    Make a list of foods that you think may affect you and start eliminating them one by one. Each day write down any changes from the most recent food you have eliminated when you perform your daily routine. I am convinced by my own research that food can absolutely influence how we feel. I systematically removed food from my diet for a good couple of years. It was harder to tell which foods caused symptoms at first, but the more I removed it was easier to see the exact consequences of each food. I have to avoid every milk, a lot of strong spice, caffeine (because of my kidneys) and drink anything not clear I also limit my bread, red meat, grease, red sauces and greens and foods processed. I stick to lean grilled meats, veggies, and fruits that are not too difficult for me. A ton of books and sites on anti-inflammatory diets are available. I suggest that you look for an idea what foods are going to be removed.

    7. Choose a light stretching scheme that you can use every day.

    It must be very easy on your body, but it must still help to move your muscle so that atrophy does not damage it. In times you can’t get out and do things, it matters even more. That is why you want it light enough, regardless of whether you have a good or bad day. For me, this is easier in 5-10 minutes, twice or 3 times daily increments. I stretch lightly, walk in, and have a few 2.5 lb arm lifts. It’s not a lot, but in moderation it’s motion, and movement DOES support. In our cases, too much can hurt us seriously, so it can be difficult to practice. I see movement and practice as two worlds. I have no strength, I don’t have the power to stand pain, but I have the capability, I have the strength, I have the power to create the energy, to move at least a bit every day.

    8. Every day you have to set aside some time for yourself, just like you want to create a routine and move.

    There may be many things to this. Naturally, you want to physically take care of yourself. This includes stretching, taking medicines, taking note of new symptoms, etc. covered elsewhere, but also mental attention. It is even more important to make certain you include things to ease your stress and manage your anxiety if you have anxiety disorder or any other mental illness.Stress can have a significant effect, especially in chronic circumstances, on your body. Develop a daily stress management routine that can be included in your day-to-day self-care.

    9. Expand your knowledge on fibromyalgia with some new aspects every day.

    Someone who mentioned it might be a new therapy, or a symptom that you didn’t know was Fibro. The more you know, the better you can understand things that happen to you and what things you need to talk to your doctor. Make sure you do not simply take and focus on one-off situations. Don’t let it send you in paranoid mode to fix things when you are researching. This is not healthy. This is not healthy. Please ensure you also look for others on the same topic if you read a personal experience to get a broader view of the matter. You want to at least make sure the author has experience with the subject when reading informative articles, or that it comes from an officially certified source. The reading of articles with odd headlines of Fibromyalgia only increases confusion and can overwhelm you with fear without looking further into the information. Please ensure that evidence supports what you are reading.

    10. Take your medicines every day (unless directed by your doctor otherwise) at the same time exactly every day.

    Probably many of you try to do this already, but if you don’t or perhaps don’t do that, try. When maintained at constant, consistent levels, most medications work best. So, taking them on a schedule is very important. When you learn about Fibromyalgia every day, you should also look for your medicines. Knowing what side affects you can expect may actually help make some people less severe and also help you to know when your medications cause something.

    Taking time to do these things can help with your quality of life if you experience a chronic disease. If you develop a procedure to assist in managing and sticking to your illnesses every day, it is more likely to help you control your disease— at least as much as it can be monitored.

    Nothing will improve everything-that’s why it’s a chronic disease-but we can do some control to get the best chance to feel as good as we are able to. I hope that my Fibromyalgia management of these things will also help you to get control over yours as far as possible.

  • It may look like this if your fibromyalgia can text you.

    It may look like this if your fibromyalgia can text you.

    By: Dr Alexa James

    Fibromyalgia cannot, of course, text the people who live with it, but it could look like that if it did. It was thus a hypothetical question that we asked to share what a text conversation with fibromyalgia might look like in our Facebook community. Many people talk and we have compiled a list of few messages for you.

    Here is what community share with us:

    1st Warrior Share Their Fibro Conversation.

    Fibromyalgia: “When bad emotions turn sideways, I’m what happens. I began when you were very young and grew up with you. I found the right time to attack, and I have been staying firmly in your brain and body. And I’ll change you completely regardless of what you do.

    Me: “Yes, this is true of everything. There’s no way you’ve been prevented and not my fault. I can remember a time when you didn’t come across me, and I don’t expect to change that at any time. I’m sorry about it some days ago, and I don’t want to accept it. And then there are days when I just want to kick your ass. But mainly for everything I don’t like about me, I just blame you. I know, however, that I will have to work with you to do anything in this lifetime. Okay, I’m going to do what I have to do, because you are going to paralyze me least. But I do not like it. But I do not like it. And I do not like you.

    2nd Warrior Share Their Fibro Conversation.

    Fibromyalgia: “Hello, I’m here to wrack your life!”

    Me: You can make my hell days but I’m going to survive, “she says.

    3rd Warrior Share Their Fibro Conversation.

    Fibromyalgia: Is going to say, I am forever changing your life. Your strength, energy and autonomy are gone. You can’t do the things that you like to do. You’re never going to feel pain… and it’s going to get worse if it’s worse. I’m going to make people discuss you, doubt you and leave you. Any money you make will be spent on doctors, medicines, any kind of supplement in your search, if you can manage to keep a job. But you will not. But you will not. And you feel more defeated every day, discouraged and despairing.

    Me: have compassion on me, please.

    4th Warrior Share Their Fibro Conversation.

    Fibromyalgia: “I am sorry to hurt you,”

    Me: “Give me my life back … please”

    5th Warrior Share Their Fibro Conversation.

    Fibromyalgia: Hello …

    Me: Why don’t you leave me alone?

    6th Warrior Share Their Fibro Conversation.

    Me: I’m cold, I think I’m going to curl my blanket up.

    Fibromyalgia: This thing, you mean, that feels like a concrete sheet? Here’s a HOT FLASH, however, to warm and also warm your body.

    Me: Please don’t. Not a hot flash again!

    Fibromyalgia: it’s too late baby, Enjoy. I just showered.

  • “Fibromyalgia is NOT …” What I Mean!

    “Fibromyalgia is NOT …” What I Mean!

    By: Dr Alexa James

    The main cause, which often circles misunderstanding and myth around the chronic condition causing pain and exhaustion, is experienced by everyone with fibromyalgia syndrome. Education is a key to managing symptoms effectively. Fibromyalgia is a chronic, untreatable condition that can affect between three and six percent of the world’s population, characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, chronic exhaustion, brain fog, and sleep disorder.

    Since fibromyalgia was only recognized officially some decades ago, however, many people (even doctors) still do not know how the disease and how it affects the lives of someone. Unfortunately, these doubts can make way for assumptions which are not only mistaken but disturbing. Many still believe that fibro is not a “real” disease and that if it is not possible, those who do need to be just fake and “attention-seeking.” Fibromyalgia can already be a difficult disease among the physical symptoms and emotional impacts of a lifetime condition.

    There may always be misconceptions; it is important to separate truth from fiction. Understanding fibromyalgia information may help the patient understand better his / her condition and help the outer viewer understand friends or friends with fibromyalgia better.

    We asked our community “Healthizes,” to share what fibromyalgia is not in order to address some of the circulating mis concepts. Many members attended the survey and communicated their views to us. The list of them we have compiled for you.

    “Fibromyalgia is NOT …

    1. … Fake”

    • Not fake fibromyalgia. I don’t know how often people say that fibro is not “real,” or that “it’s all in your head,” I don’t know. All day, all the time, I wouldn’t pretend to be in pain. I don’t pretend I’m having problems sleeping. I would not pretend sick. I wouldn’t pretend. I wouldn’t claim to have problems with the stomach. There wouldn’t be mood swings I pretend. I wouldn’t leave school. I’m not going to leave innumerable jobs. All these things, I wouldn’t claim to do. It is true, it sucks, it changes its life. Provide it with the respect it merits.
    • It’s not Fibro in our head.

    2. …Biased”

    • The only illness of a woman.
    • Fibro is not that most people gain weight after fibromyalgia, because, in many cases, even daily activity becomes impossible.
    • Fibro is a weight-created bacterium. Overweight is a co-morbidity with Fibromyalgia, it’s not the cause of Fibromyalgia… Small people are also affected.
    • You can get fibromyalgia at any age not restrictive. Smith’s Amy

    3. … Something else”

    • Psychiatric or mental illness or depression.
    • Psychosomatic fibromyalgia is not. Real body pain. Real body pain.
    • No pulmonary fibromyalgia.
    • Fibromyalgia does not cause my diabetes damage to the nerves.
    • Hypochondria does not exist.

    4. … for Weak”

    • Not forgiven for fibromyalgia
    • No sissies are fibromyalgia. The symptoms of fibromyalgia are endured by a strong person every day.
    • “To take your life, fight every day, take your strength again.” “Fibromyalgia isn’t …”

    5.  … Easy”. 

    • Not easy fibro. Every second of the day, hell live every second, and there is always something new happening when my friends and husband see parts of the knees and hands and even the pain in my neck dips.
    • The symptoms in all are different and change from day to day. Fibromyalgia is not easy to treat or understand.
    • Fibro is not simple, plus difficult to explain, because everybody is different. We have the same pains but can do it in the various areas of the body.
    • It doesn’t like “in a few days you’re going to get better”
    • I can get over something.

    6. … Made up”

    • Fibromyalgia is not supposed to go away
    • It is not consistent with fibromyalgia. You’re not sure what to expect from day to day.

    7. … The Same”

    • Even minutes by minute from day to day. Month after month, year after year, as well. It also changes according to medications and what you do.
    • Day by day it isn’t the same. For every person, every day will be different. Nor will anybody have exactly the same symptoms.
    • Each patient is the same. Some of them do not have other immune diseases. We have as individual symptoms as we are!

    8. … Curable”

    • The positive attitude will not improve fibromyalgia through a fresh air!
    • There’s no curable fibromyalgia
    • Fibromyalgia will not ever go out. The pain is so bad that you feel constantly tried to enjoy your days. Most people think you are ok because they can never see their pain. You must pace yourself to get things done. It’s difficult to concentrate all the time in pain. I hope that somebody will find a healing.
    • Fibromyalgia is not cured by weight loss or exercise. I think I’ll cry right there and then if I’ve got another doctor tell me just to get weightless and get on with things.

    9. … Fair”

    • In the medical industry Fibro is not well represented. Many never heard about it. Most physicians cannot fully understand why the treatment is insufficient or inadequate.
    • Fibro is just an undiagnosed symptom. –a catch-all when there is no other diagnosis.

    10. ...Myth”

    • Fibromyalgia in Lyrica commercials is not the way it is depicted.
    • It’s not a myth for fibromyalgia. It’s real, very real. It’s very real.

    Fibromyalgia isn’t something we’re finally going to get “good.” It’s going to be life. We’re going to have good and bad days. Good weeks and bad. Good weeks and bad. Good times and bad times. Good times. And that’s not what we can control. Also–it’s not something to control fibromyalgia. It doesn’t mean just that a therapy worked last time. Don’t press me, therefore, please. The worst thing you can do to me is pressure. Pressure. If I feel stressed, I’m much more likely to get unwell longer.

    Fibromyalgia is like waking up every day to fight a fight you know you’ll lose and get out of bed. It is the daily routine of defeat and every tear, explosion and collapse that follows. It holds its fingers desperately with hope and courage and allows them to take you out of your bed when your body fights for anything. However, you’re going to win the war.

    There were some misconceptions about fibromyalgia that we needed to correct. These stigmas are largely disrupted by promoting general perception and awareness so that ultimately more research and better treatment options can be found for those with the disease.

  • What daily tasks do somebody with fibromyalgia feel like?

    What daily tasks do somebody with fibromyalgia feel like?

    By: Dr Alexa James

    With fibromyalgia, your routines, abilities and skills can be very restrictive. Fibro pain affects every aspect of your life, just like it takes a lot of energy and time to perform a simple task.

    People can’t think how they feel, yet they still work, so they don’t think it should be too bad. Hey, hey. It is pretty horrible and very confusing, because you do not have much control over how physically you feel. You feel like I am doing it every day, at least to manage your Fibromyalgia in some extent, do yourself a favor and use these tips.

    So, our Facebook community “fibromyalgia” is asked what it’s like to do, because it’s fibromyalgia, to share with you a everyday task. So chronicillness.co has drawn up a list of its answers and thinks that this is true and does not overestimate our conditions.

    It’s a painful job for many to take a shower, so I don’t take as many as I ought. It’s nice every day to be clean, but at what cost? The same goes for homework, such as cleaning, flooring, etc. It is like walking in wet cement and the more I walk it gets harder. Fibro morning exhaustion is another major daily problem, too. These are the normal activities for a healthy person and it may take a short time, but it’s a huge task for us to get away from it.

    There are 27 different stuff listed in order to relate to everyone who reads this, so if at first you have nothing to do with it, read it, and perhaps you’ll find anything. If you wish to add a comment to the list below, share it with others if you relate to that too.

    Here is what community share with us:

    1. Each morning, wake up. It feels like you have always had the worst haven— TOUR. Headache, nausea, pain and all-round susceptibility, a lack of desire. If you had never had a game, maybe try to think that you’re knocked, trampled and put on a joystick.

    2. We should wake up restful and refreshed… from bed, but I always feel like I was hit by the train. Getting out of bed is like glass and will shake

    3. Showering is both a wonderful sensation and probably the most strenuous task of the day. Not sure why but it drains every single ounce of my body’s energy.

    4. Walking, even walking for any time to be able to perform tasks that take longer than 15 minutes or walk more than 5 or 10 minutes, even for a leisurely walk through a park… that is the world for me!

    5. Select the right clothes and underwear. Other people who will in no way hurt me.

    6. The house and the kitchen are cleaned. The floor sweeps & bumps.

    7. Get up morning. Get up early. Still in pain and so tired. Getting out of bed in the morning feels like a truck ran over me, and then, in the morning too, I feel nausea–Marie

    8. A clippy who pulls my hair from behind feels as if it is buried into my skirt and puts 5 lbs. Pressing my cranium. The pomegranate even feels like I’ve got to squint it’s so tight.

    9. I try to sleep on my feet without any sleep support or ice bags. The longer I sit down, but I’m so tired, I hurt more and more. It’s overnight. At around 5 am, I can fell into astonishingly asleep, then I’m in sleep blackout. I miss many things to try to get my sleep up and get depressed. I miss many things. It hurts so much and gives me headaches, so I can’t think straight. I’m anxiety because I don’t know next to the lack of normalcy what I’m going to mess up. Every week it’s becoming difficult to cope with fibro that I live with. Roxane

    10. Since I have suffered a injury in my shoulders. Carry my laundry basket down and up my steps or, in the event of pain, it hurts to push the cart when I use the shopping cart on a shop.

    11. It is very hard to Tryna to keep comfortable, no matter what I do, to sit down and walk. I tried to take my children out to walk for the sun, but after I had gone out of school, I only lasted about one hour.

    12. Bathing the children. Bathing the children. It exhausts me completely. Cooking.

    13. Dishes are a nightmare to wash. I’m afraid the water hurts the position. My wrists and fingers are hurt by my height. The noise hurts my ears, the smells sick me. Washing dishes. It’s going to take all day. I’m doing a couple then sitting, do a couple then sitting.

    14. Someone added that he would do the dishes or whatever else that feels like a long endurance race. Time!

    15. I forget it. My teeth and hair are brushing. Because my jaw hurts after 30 seconds when my mouth is open, my arms begin to ache for one or two minutes. Get up in the morning… exhausting just afterwards. I’m not.

    16. Hanging washing. Hanging washing. I swear I might cause less pain by stabbing myself with a knife.

    17. Dressing up. Something else that can seem so easy that you spent hours trying outfit after outfit on the mall. And Someone added that in my arms and shoulders I have dreadful burning pains and that I cannot go behind me looking at a belt, undo my bra, etc.

    18. My long hair is scratching. I have my arms and hands to stop & rest. I can do it, however. It only takes longer and hurts me.

    19. Fold over or stand up out of the seat. Takes each power ounce. I feel like the woman of eighty years old. Take an ounce of energy out of me in a shower. Normally, after preparing in the morning you need two hours ‘ nap. And for hours I loved to drive. Twenty minutes driving now causes a lot of sciatic pain that I can no longer take. And only a year ago I was diagnosed. Don’t look forward to looking for the future.

    20. Steps up, ramps–my legs have the hardest anything uphill. Trees or steps are used. My articulations feel like I have sprains, and my muscles are dull. Sweat from pain- I always break out of

    21. Riding… I’ve no longer got to the point where I got people ride me around because shifting gears harm too much.

    22. Yeah… I want to run away just some days to have some rest

    23- Being a single mother. raising a very active 7-year-old myself with very little help. The aspiration. It’s hard to do, it is even an easy walk away. Hardest thing to make a shampoo for my tapestry is to take a lot of my muscles and I unfortunately suffer from OCD and I like to clean my tapes at least every three months.

    24. The openness of a jar, milk or soda… my arms pain. Now my husband needs to wait so he can help me to stir and pour…… feels like shit.

    25. I used to bake much. The worst indoor task is washing. If it is too heavy to pick up, I usually push the basket on the floor. I’m so winded that I have to rest after I have carried or pushed a basket, then loaded the washer. But then after a stepping stub (I am short), I lean into the washing machine and transfer clothes to the dryer. My shoulders are burning and the joints melt. My entire flesh is tearing, my headache is winding, my heart rate is up, my hands don’t want to work anymore and hurt, I have hashimotos, I’m anemic. I’m anemic. When I get loads changed, I’m tired and too painful to fold my clothes to my couch.

    26. Hint. Hit. My cats bump my thigh and hip on my bellow or my dog. It hurts everything. I always felt bad, because my ex-husband hurt his feelings by not wanting him to touch me. For the sake of light, I have always felt I was sensitive, like pets on you or a light hand at my back. I was always sensitive.

    27. My dogs wash. Wash. They are small and I have just skyrocketed to bend over the bathtub and my pain. I’m finished for several days when they are washed and dried. I enjoyed our care routine so much, it’s torture now.

    28. Zip and buttoning. For many people it seems normal, but not for us. Hands are numb, thick and tormented, with no strength whatsoever.

    29. Make a candy. For example, thuna mayo… Stir the mayo in a feeling as stiff as I mix cement with a ruptured wrist. I have to stop and begin to taste so much that I am exhausted and I am sore on my back too. I feel like I have to rest, because my muscles are sick and dull

    30. I had to read books, such as magazines, and go through them one or two a week at least. The brain fog is the toughest part for Me (and chronic fatigue!) Now, without wondering what I’m doing, I can even get across a text message. Mental agony reflects clearly on one task.

    31. Washing because it involves not only lifting, but also up and downstairs. Shopping also takes a lot of time to my entire body-

    32. Walking up the stairs. Fibromyalgia has made my knees so painful. There aren’t any solutions either I literally have to pull myself up by the banister and hope for the best or the occasional bear walk/crawl but that’s painful too because of arthritis in my hands.

  • I’m a Marshmallow – it’s called fibromyalgia, “Something always wrong”

    I’m a Marshmallow – it’s called fibromyalgia, “Something always wrong”

    By: Dr Alexa James

    I like being like a marshmallow compared to me. On the inside and outside I’m gooey and squidgy –pretty much the same thing. I have no thick skin, so my outside is just a bit resistant to the inside of the marshmallow. Oh, I go quite pink in the sun.

    I was a delicate soul always, I take things to the heart. I totally disdain even the things I dismiss from people. I have to develop a thicker skin, thicker than most people, when I am young with an invisible disease. People can judge others quickly, in particular if you don’t “look” disabled.

    The truth is that most of us are quite good liars with invisible diseases. From the outside world, we hide pain. Like Elsa we “hide not feel” (whenever I have had a flare up, only I have been undergoing a glamorous transformation.) It is not easy to hide pain, most of it to others. People do not like to see other people in pain.

    Being not visibly sorrowful however, causes others to doubt my credibility. I’m a Hypochondrian, “Something is always wrong.” People feed on my plans or cannot do anything a person with a capacity can do. Yes, “something’s always wrong” is Fibromyalgia, always there and always there. Also, imagine how irritating it is for me, if my condition is distressing to you.

    I’m going to be the first one to admit that I am very susceptible to accident. You can guarantee that I will walk into it or trip across it if there is an object near me. In addition to the fibromyalgia symptoms, I’m usually covered with blemishes and may limp. It’s a fibroid symptom, but I think it’s only the symptom of being to me. I was always tormented.

    A black eye, a cast arm or a missing limb cannot argue. You can argue against widespread pain, anxiety, nausea, tiredness, headaches and all kind of fibromyalgia. It doesn’t mean you ought to just because you can.

    For the first time in a supermarket, I have recently used a mobility scooter. My body was tired, my feet went inside and I began waddling like a duck, a tale of sign that my body was sufficient. My body was too tired to propel. I thought of using a wheelchair. I know the mobility scooter user stereotype well. You’re either lazy or fat to walk or both. You’re assumed. You think of people flying around in Wall-E, who remember a mobile scooter with futuristic vehicles.

    I knew what people were going to think as someone who is more a Michelin man than Barbie’s girl. Although I have nothing to say that is unreasonable, I can feel their opinions. I thought people were leaving their way to make it hard to get around. Much of it probably was paranoia, I was aware of myself with a scooter, so I had analyzed other shoppers ‘ body language. But at least some of it didn’t improve my anxiety.

    I love the sentence, “those who do not mind and those who do not care,”

    And I’m surrounded most of the time by people who “mindlessly don’t.” But what the stranger I’ve passed on the street thinks I’m still very caring. My marshmallow mind constantly muses with the thought of other people, but why should I really take care of it? Are your doubts less legitimate for my pain? No, why are they so important to me, then?

  • If Doctors are breaking you off as they are unable to deal with you – Fibromyalgia Awareness

    If Doctors are breaking you off as they are unable to deal with you – Fibromyalgia Awareness

    By: Dr. Alexa James

    I watched one of my favorite TV shows recently, The Golden Girls. Though I saw the show hundreds of times, I really clicked and hit home this time to watch some episodes. The episodes I am talking about are known as “sick and fatigued,” if we know the show.

    This two-part episode was a time of extreme exhaustion for Dorothy and a month of feeling sick. I know everything too well as fibromyalgia. That truly brought me to think. How many of us have had several doctors, appointments, and stories to endure?

    How often were we brushed off and told to rest because the doctor could not find the root cause of our pain? How many times have we wondered and doubted that we might not be really sick?

    The episode concentrates on the struggles of Dorothy trying to find a doctor who believes that she is sick and does not try to discard her disease because she is incomplete. It’s all in her head, she saw doctors, but she knows that she’s not good deep down. This has been addressed by all of us and continues to be addressed.

    It’s not easy to have an invisible disease. We know something’s wrong, but how are you demonstrating it? There is no simple test or blood work to diagnose fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue.

    The episode scene is all too well-known. We know we’re ill. We know we’re ill. It’s known to our family. They encourage and support us to seek assistance. (I know not everyone is fortunate, but I have an incredible support system like Dorothy.) Finally, after being finally diagnosed, Dorothy meets the doctor who dropped her out while she was in a restaurant dinner. Rose, Blanche, and Sophia took her ironically to dinner to finally be diagnosed with other doctors for chronic fatigue.

    She could confront him and tell him she really is sick, and he was not professional nor helpful in dismissing her without any assistance. We are not all fortunate enough to confront those, particularly doctors, who doubt us.

    The refusal to face an invisible disease is nearly as bad as our physical pain. Although the exhibition came out several years ago, for those of us who suffer it still is so powerful and helpful. Given the fact that many people question and doubt the pain and fatigue, TV shows are so helpful, and famous people like Lady Gaga and Morgan Freeman talk out to illustrate how serious and real these diseases are.

  • How do you take pain from fibromyalgia, Lyme chronic and the like?

    How do you take pain from fibromyalgia, Lyme chronic and the like?

    Exercise can be too much for people with autoimmune, Lyme and other chronic diseases, fibromyalgia and fatigue disorders, though. Out of my own practice, I know that. You can see that I have thyroiditis of Hashimoto, celiac disease and fibromyalgia and exercise can be a dangerous thing for people such as myself. It can make the body worse and push it to a pain flare instantly.

    More than I can count, this has happened to me. I would practice, I would feel great, I would be exercising a little harder, and then I would suddenly lose my energy, feel fully wiped out, and even develop a fever sometimes. I’d feel like it was on fire and my body would be sad. It would be a struggle even to climb the stairs. All because I ran the treadmill for another 5 minutes when I felt good. Yet, because it was good for us, my doctors continued telling me to practice.

    They’re right technically. Evidence has consistently shown that exercise is particularly helpful to people with autoimmune, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease and other chronic pain or fatigue disorders. Some of the demonstrated benefits include:

    • Improved general physical and mental health
    • Decreased anxiety and depression
    • Increased energy levels
    • Reduced tiredness
    • improved sleep
    • Reduced pain
    • Improved mood
    • Increased or restored joint movement, even for persons with chronic arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis
    • Enhanced muscular strength and resilience, even for persons with deterioration of their muscles or joints
    • General reduction in overall symptoms

    So why does it leave us in so much misery for something good? And how do people fight the benefits of exercise without crashing with chronic pain?

    Autoimmune Strong is an online training platform for people who are struggling with chronic pain. It was developed by Andrea Wool, who has fibromyalgia, thyroiditis, and celiac disease of Hashimoto.

    Evidence has also shown that physical and mental stress can intensify the symptoms and other symptoms of an autoimmune disorder. Exercise creates high levels of cortisol, which stresses the body and may lead to an attack or inflammation of pain in the immune system. That is why (simply put) we feel awful following practice. We’ve got a flaring up, we rest and rejuvenate, and if eventually we get good back again, we go back to exercise and it all starts again. I call this the “exercise to flaring up” process.

    But not all practice increases stress and cortisol. The fitness industry teaches us that training must be difficult. We have to be easy, quicker, sweat more, pushing harder, lifting heavier… and we do so at the exercise room. We don’t know we’ve done it right if we don’t work hard. Any pain, any benefit, right? No pain.

    FUCH! Let’s change the workout topic. We have to do a lot of work, but not as I have just described. By breaking yourself down, you can become powerful. Exercise will, I believe, be safe and body-feeding.

    Let’s break the flare-up cycle exercise. Here are my strong autoimmune steps to health recovery:

    1st is Stop concentrating on weight loss

    We also fail in the gym because we want to lose weight. I do not think the real health problem is excess weight, though. Excess weight is just another symptom, an out of control symptom of a body and a body in pain really is out of balance. I also encourage you to make your body healthy instead of weight loss a priority. It will be much more comfortable, I promise and the weight will be a happy side effect as the body gets into better balance.

    2nd is Concentrate on preventive workout

    Look at it as a way to make your body healthy rather than as a punishment for losing weight. Exercise can improve your immune system, make you sleep better, increase heart function, lower body pain and ache and increase energy and emotion for life: this has a long list of great body effects. Often, autoimmune and fibromyalgia disorders have even reduced their severity! And the right workout will improve and expand the body’s capacity to do life activities such as playing with your children and grandchildren, walking on store islands or crossing snow dead in the winter.

    3rd is Out of the cardio unlimited

    We were taught that it is best for us to lose weight in cardio (running, walking, elliptical machinery) etc. In addition, it raises our cortisol and inflammation and can cause an epidemic of symptoms. Therefore, you could be more effective with 20 minutes of proper strength and flexibility training, rather than wasting 45 minutes on the elliptical.

    4th is Stamina over time build up

    Start with the very basics of reinforcing moves and build on them over time. When you start gently and gradually increase over the course of time, your body can adapt to greater intensity.

    5th Move your body all the time, every day

    The best way to take care of your body is not to lie all day in the bed. Nights when you don’t exercise, gentle stretching, moisture rolling, a walk or a quick plie shot around your house, can make you feel better and get back faster.

    6th is Find other solutions to your routine practice

    It will help support your body when it is under stress, if you eat unprocessed food, sleep well, practice the art of relaxation and deep breathing and make time in your life for some fun and laughter.

    7th is Be Kind to You

    Don’t think that you don’t do enough or work hard enough. Celebrate your successes, set realistic goals and try to prevent negative self-talk. Much like your own best friend, treat yourself.

    So, perhaps you’ve read this list, and you know my tips exactly. Just go for it! Go for it! Congratulations are going to be your body. However, you don’t know where you can begin, these tips are perhaps overwhelming. I encourage you to look out for Autoimmune Strong, a fibromyalgia-specific, Lyme–chronic and related workout plan. The Autoimmune Strong features online fitness videos to help you get to learn what to eat and what to avoid in order to lose weight and feel great. This involves direct strength and flexibility training and physical needs, and an auto-immune Strong Nutrition Guide.

  • Fibromyalgia Warriors 6 Favorite Things for Relief

    Fibromyalgia Warriors 6 Favorite Things for Relief

    It is extremely difficult to treat fibromyalgia. Today, I share some of my favorite tools to reduce fibromyalgia symptoms.

    I bet your attention was drawn to that headline. I say because I have written my share of these sorts of articles over the years, praying that one of my fellow fibromyalgia fighters finally found a way to put an end to my misery.

    But if you have fibromyalgia, you know that this is the ficklest of conditions. It doesn’t necessarily work for others what does for one of us. We have on the market three medications approved by the FDA, and yet none of them work more than half of the time. No one knows even what causes fibromyalgia, let alone how to get rid of it.

    Yet, when it seems to benefit a particular drug, supplement or lifestyle adjustment, we are left to cobble together our own treatment plans, rejoicing over small victories.

    We are all on our own journeys to treat this difficult disease, so I find that discussing what has helped our symptoms and what hasn’t helped us is important. We can all learn from each other that way.

    So, I’m sharing a few things today that helped to reduce my symptoms of fibromyalgia, hoping this information could help others. I want to be clear: they’re not remedies, and they’re not going to take away all the suffering, exhaustion, and other symptoms. These are just methods that I found helpful in my own treatment plan, and you may want to do so too.

    Fibromyalgia Warriors 6 Things for Relief

    1st is Low-dose Naltrexone

    I’m sure my long-standing fans are sick of hearing me talking about low-dose naltrexone (LDN), but this article is definitely a contender! I pursued a series of various pharmaceuticals when I was first treated, and I could not handle any of them. Either side effects have been too serious, or they have actually not worked. I slipped one day during a desperation Yahoo search on an online survey that revealed that LDN was the most successful fibromyalgia therapy. LDN has been shown to be more active than any of the three fibro medications approved by the FDA in two small studies at Stanford University. It is the only drug that has managed me ease my discomfort, and it has a small risk of side effects, most of all. Increasing numbers of patients with fibromyalgia have found LDN effective in reducing pain and fatigue.

    2nd is CBD Oil

    CBD oil was without doubt one of the most useful things to relieve my discomfort. There are two different types: CBD based on marijuana sold online, and CBD based on cannabis distributed through pharmacies in states where cannabis is legal. As I consulted experts on marijuana, they all told me that CBD dependent on cannabis is the most powerful form because it comprises so many useful cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant.

    The hemp CBD sold online is not monitored, so there is no way for consumers to verify whether the product is safe or whether it even contains CBD. There is also a discussion about whether hemp CBD is even legal. (The DEA says no.) I plan to apply for my medical marijuana license and I’m anxious to try cannabis-based CBD to see if it works better than the hemp brand. I have also been using off and on American Shaman CBD oil for the past few months.

    3rd is D-ribose

    In two studies conducted by Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, the energy levels of fibromyalgia and ME / CFS sufferers improved by up to 61 percent in addition to d-ribose. When I used Teitelbaum’s d-ribose protocol, I had good results. This cut my afternoon napping down dramatically and gave me an extra boost to get through the middle of the day. I no longer take d-ribose after my psychiatrist moved me to a new protocol for mood / energy supplementation, but it performed so well that I still warn others about it. Note: D-ribose can affect blood sugar levels, so diabetics are going to want to analyze it closely.

    4th is Magnesium Supplements

    I take magnesium malate or magnesium glycinate every day, and the all-over achiness that we all equate with fibromyalgia seems to be mitigated. It should also help with sleep, so I’m taking it at bedtime.

    5th is Magnesium Lotion

    My fibro pain tends to get worse as the day goes on, so in bedtime it can be brutal. Before going to bed, I always slather my whole body in magnesium lotion on my worst days. Usually it takes off the edge enough to make me sleep. My favorite of the moment is Elepure.

    6th is Quell

    As part of the Fibrowomen network, I had the opportunity to try the Quell portable pain relief system, and I love it! It’s a small electronic gadget you’re carrying around your hip in a band velcroed. It’s too hard to explain how it works here, but within few coming weeks I wrote a blog about it. It was a surprising new addition to my repertoire of pain-fighting.
