Kjsddasa thanks for joining our exclusive club...lol. Fibromyalgia isn't an exclusive club, it affects millions of peoples lives. When I was diagnosed in 2001 it wasn't a well known syndrome and now we actually have FDA approved drugs specifically for fibromyalgia. A lot has changed in 10 years. I hope in another 10 years they will find the cause & a cure

Hi Jodi,
Today is a better day. I woke with a migraine but it is almost gone. My cycle of pain and sleep is over. Im actually going to leave the house today and hope that this does not trigger the pain cycle as it has been for so long. I keep hoping & trying. Yoga sounds wonderful, I enjoy walking too.

So happy that the pain eased once again lifted for you. Try not to do too much though. Remember our fairy steps.Maybe have a little walk. I love walking along the beach. Big hugs Piglit

Well, I spent 4 hours on the phone with every state, county& federal agency working on getting every form of financial assistance I qualify for. I received my last alimony payment in April, my exhusband drained our accounts (200,000.00$ gone)so I have nothing. He got the house, he is behind 7 months on the mortgage & I get harassed by bill collectors about 3X a day the first week of every month. I'm taking fairy steps, I bought gas and I am waiting for a friend...beer & billiards, his birthday is may 2. We are celebrating early. I did a bit of walking. He is a starving artist & I went to a Walmart Superstore to buy him a couple of blank canvases as a birthday gift. I think that store is a 1/2 mile long ...CRAZY they sell everything from tires, cosmetics, groceries, art supplies, furniture. Ugh I wandered for 30 minutes before I found what I was looking for & another 15 minutes to find the cashier. Not my kind of store. The sun is shining & the rain is falling there is a rainbow somewhere. Big Hugs <3 to you too Piglet!
