Fibromyalgia is a bully
Fibromyalgia is a beast and a literal mean bully. It doesn’t stop picking on me and trying to kick me down. Today, while this is a late post, because you know…mom life….it is Fibromyalgia Awareness Day. Fibromyalgia is complete chronic widespread pain. Now as far as what causes it and cures and such…. What is…

The surgery, the recovery, the road.
Phew! It has been a crazy month! At the end of November, I had the Spinal Cord stimulator surgery. Today, as I sit in front of an angled computer, it was 4 weeks ago. I promise you it feels longer!! I had to first undergo a trial before the surgery. I wore the device for…

Fibro and compression
Running with injuries isn’t fun. Living with chronic pain is worse. At least when you have an injury, most of the time you can recover from it and continue with no issues.

I got your back.
Scoliosis awareness month is here! I love nothing more than to talk and help give others information on Scoliosis and what it is and ways to help prevent your children from developing it, if possible. Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine that usually happens at an early age, just before puberty. Most schools do…

Why I’m a PRO
I am sure you all are tired of hearing me talk or complain about everything I suffer through every day. But there are many reasons why I do it. Mainly to bring awareness to each of my diseases because they all are incurable. But I have one very painfully uncomfortable condition called Fiber Neuropathy. It’s a…

Comfort in bed
So we all know that Fibromyalgia is not fun at all. I talk about it a lot and try to create as much awareness as I can because there is no cure and it makes sense since everyone who suffers from Fibro, has different symptoms. There are no two cases alike so it’s tough to…
