Coping with Fibromyalgia/Chronic Pain   Background Information  This post is geared towards offering some tips to dealing with Fibromyalgia and other chronic pain disorders.  Fibromyalgia is the most common musculoskeletal condition. It often goes misdiagnosed and misunderstood. Fibromyalgia includes widespread joint pain and fatigue.  Fibromyalgia causes you to ache all over. You may also have tender points on the body that may be painful to touch. Fibromyalgia may cause you to have irregular sleep patterns as well as mood disturbances such as depression. Some patients may also have the following symptoms: headaches, stomach aches , inability to concentrate ( fibromyalgia fog) , numbness or tingling in the fingers and feet If you are having symptoms that you are unsure , I recommend you seeing your primary care doctor for a referral to a specialist ( commonly known as a rheumatologist) My Story  After many years of suffering ongoing pain and many test to rule out conditions

There is not a day that goes by that I am not in physical pain. I pray each day for some relief and nothing seems to help to decrease the pain. I have realized that stress really does increase the pain. I work every day to press pass the pain. I get all my strength from God as he helps me. patience is a virtue. ...... I have learned to keep a positive attitude. I take nothing for granted and look for something good to happen to me. I like sharing with others.. What do you find inspiration in?

Over the past few weeks, I have been in a struggle because I had major surgery.  It has been a real struggle to keep my mind  straight and the strength to fight through all the physical pain.

It's very difficult to wake up and feel worse than you did before you went to sleep. It's even more difficult when you realize that there is really nothing that you can do to change how you feel other than to keep the faith that you will have some relief one day. The physical discomfort of Fibromyalgia is very difficult and it is hard to understand when you don't get any relief or answers to know exactly how to eliminate the symptoms other than with some type of medication that has awful side effects that may be more detrimental that the condition it's self. I was told that you want die from Fibromyalgia because it's not a terminal illiness, but the medication, especially over medication just might. So to my readers, be careful and aware of the medications that you are prescribed and alert tour attending physician of anything new or stage going on after you start a new medication. I have trying just about all the prescribed medications from Lyrica, Savella, Cymbalta

Many of us who struggle with Fibromyalgia and other Chronic Pain conditions also deal with always feeling drained and tired. In most cases no matter how much sleep you get, for some reason you still just feel Super Tired. I know I am not ridding on this train alone. In research, I have learned that the diet play a great role in how one feels. I was told that I was Vitamin D deficient and I know have to take Vitamin D twice a week. I must admit that with my busy schedule that I am not really good at taking all that medication and I have to do other things to supplement in that regard. So what I have found to be helpful to me is to make smoothies and other fruit drinks to help me to get the nutrients that my body so desperately needs. So I have decided to share at least once a week recipes that I have found to be beneficial to me or ones that I plan to try. I hope that you will enjoy this series and will add comments or share your own recipes and tips to help us all feel better.

Cat & Dog fight... Just a Little fun for you today. Some times you have to fight for what you want. If you want to feel better keep fighting. Do not give up the fight. The prize in end is well worth the fight. Sometimes with Fibromyalgia, We loose our determination to push past the pain. I know I have been there, but I have to keep pushing because I have purpose and destination. I really do not like cats (well I fear cats) but I have observed them and they look for opportunities to get their prey.

I have found out that your attitudes and responses to life situations determines how you are able to cope with the situation. Everyday, I try to get up with a positive attitude that today will be a good day. I must admit that it does take me longer to get ready than the average person. My goal is to look better than I feel. In coping with any chronic condition, it is good to pace yourself and not to be rushed as thus increases your stress level.  Stress is one of the number one causes and triggers to pain if you have fibromyalgia or other Chronic Pain conditions like Arthritis and Lupus.  What Is Stress?

Change is process and it takes planning to help you to prepare for the process.  A new year is a great time to evaluate where your are now and develop plans to help you to get to where you want to go.  In my early morning reading.  I was reading about how Jesus gave out the talents and how there was two who multiplied their talents and came back with more than what they were given. In the other passage of the scripture there was reference give to the one servant that went away and buried his talent . This was his way of securing and preserving what he had been given.    When he was questioned by Jesus about his talent,  he respons to Jesus was that he was afraid.    Jeus was not pleased and he took away the talent that he had initially given. Don't let this be your story. First of all we do no
