I haven't felt fibro foggy over the past few weeks, but evidently I'm wrong.
Earlier this week when I got in the shower, I washed my hair, shaved my legs and washed my face. As I was toweling off, it occurred to me that I couldn't remember if I'd actually washed my body or not! I had to hop back

I really hope this weekend is more uneventful than the last one. Hubby made a surprise visit to the emergency room last Friday, and it was well into Saturday evening before I was able to bust him out of the hospital. (He's doing fine.)
We stopped on the way home to pick up salads for dinner. At
Cymbalta’s withdrawal symptoms prompt lawsuits
As my long-time readers know, I've been closely following the lawsuits related to Cymbalta's withdrawal symptoms on FedUpwithFatigue.com. I was recently asked by Prohealth.com to update their readers on the Cymbalta lawsuits. I'm reprinting that story here with the editor's permission.

So, you know that nasty case of plantar fasciitis I've been fighting since last spring? Well, it turns out it might not be plantar fasciitis after all. After three sets of steroid injections, laser treatments and weeks of physical therapy, my feet were still killing me, so I decided to see another
2016 Valentine’s fibromyalgia and ME/CFS gift guide
Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and I don't know about you, but many of the traditional gifts just don't work for those of us with fibromyalgia and/or ME/CFS. I can't eat most candy because the sugar and preservatives cause me days of increased pain. I can't remember the last time I wore

Brain fog has been rearing its ugly (and humorous) head for me lately. Last week, I spent an afternoon feeling like I was going to urinate all over myself. After hours of sitting with my thighs pressed together and running to the bathroom every 30 minutes, I finally realized what had happened: I'd

12 bloggers share their best tips for reducing fibromyalgia symptoms
I am a problem solver by nature, so when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia two years ago, I obsessively researched information on the best strategies for reducing fibromyalgia symptoms. I found out there are no easy answers. Certain drugs work for some and not for others. Some people find relief

Living with fibromyalgia is so frustrating. Last week, I had several very low-pain days in a row. I had maybe 10% of what my "normal" pain is each day.
And then came Monday. As soon as I stood up from the bed, I knew IT WAS BACK. My "normal" pain had returned. So now I'm left wondering why and
Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS news (week of Dec. 28, 2015)
I wasn't planning to publish a news post this week because I've had family visiting from out of town, but I saw several New Year's-related stories that are worth sharing. Hope you have a wonderful New Year's Day and that your recovery is speedy if you happened to have celebrated last
