I recently came across this helpful comment from @elmay who's dealt with fibromyalgia for a very long time and offers encouraging words about finding help through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) -

Her full discussion on CBT for chronic pain is here:

I'm wondering, @kireraw, @raepent1, @daliea - have you considered CBT as a complimentary strategy for living with fibro or other chronic conditions?

Hello! Sorry for long delays - I did watch the YouTube video! Thank you so much for sharing!!! As I watched, I did love the breakdown of things in the “All Systems-Go” realm!!! i could have misunderstood it & planned to watch a few more times to make sure I’m getting it all - but I do believe I’m pursuing exactly that approach already -
I have the typical team of specialists - Rheum, Neuro, Derm, PCP, Psychologist, Medication Mgmt, Therapist, Chiropractor, meditation/Tapping/Affirmations/Journaling as well as attempting to find a creative outlet (or any creative juice at all to flow 😉 hahaha) -
Would you agree that I am trying to come at this from all angles to ensure well-rounded approach? I’m also trying to soak up any literature/movies/blogs/YouTube channels, etc. That may have any info at all useful! I did watch the documentary - Sensitive: The Untold Story and that definitely hit close to home - before/during/after diagnosis I’ve rec’vd - so it’s nothing *new* per se, but puts it into words to be able to share with others a new aspect of how I experience the world without going deep into the depressive context.

Thank you so much for checking in - and don’t be strangers!!! I just sometimes fall off the face of the earth for a spell 🤗
