You probably already realize this;) I am not a trained medical professional.
What I am:
I am a retired teacher, mom of adult children, wife, grandma, sister, friend, yogi, hiker, kayaker, nature lover, etc. None of those gives me the training to give you medical advice.What I hope to do:
What I do here is to share my own experiences living with fibromyalgia and co-morbid issues. You may find some resonate with you personally. If so, good. However, always, always get the advice of a trained professional.I have learned from others and then brought questions to my doctors who sometimes explain why thus and such wouldn't be good for me but many times is something they suggest I try. I've found many of my doctors don't have much knowledge of fibromyalgia, so what I've learned from others and my own research and experience has helped me. I hope, then, to give you things to think about and consult with your doctor. Through doing this, I hope our medical professionals will become more educated on how to treat fibromyalgia.
What I hope you do:
I hope that you can find glimmers of your own journey in mine and through that find comfort. I feel that the more we share our stories, the more connected and validated each of us becomes. I would ask that if you see something here you feel may help you, that you bring it up with your medical caregiver.
