Thank you for Fog Magazine. The articles you have written so far have opened a whole new perspective to my life. It was getting difficult to stay positive, even with the help of all my friends at Fibrotalk. FOG has lifted the final barrier I created suffering with FM.
Any aspecit of your life that is chronic works on how you feel about yourself. FOG helps me keep above that by showing me I am not alone in my thoughts.
Wow yall have done a great job w/ this magazine! I love it! I cant seem to stay away! LOL I really enjoy all of it! Thank you for Fog Magazine! ~~~much love!
I just found this magazine and I absolutely LOVE it.
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 2 years ago. I am one of the fortunate ones whose Dr. actually believes in this disease and doesn’t pooh pooh me when I talk about the pain.
One of the most important things she has taught me is to not let this stupid disease run my life. I have my bad days (today is VERY bad), but I am up and ready for work. I love my job (holistic pet food store, animal rescue and doggie day care) and I refuse to let this disease make me walk away from that.
Its nice to talk with others who understand the pain and the FIBROFOG!
Thanks!\
Just found this online magazine. Wow! Terrific web site! Love the info and fun stuff. Its great to find others who are also coping with this “lifestyle change”. I am looking forward to getting many more tips.
Thank you for this website. I was researching about Fibro, I was diagnosed about 4 months ago after about 9 months of testing and MRI’S etc. It’s been a rough road. I am 32yrs old with three children, was athletic and healthy. I had minor aches n pains in my neck, legs, arms and back. These came and went over the years and I figured they were normal. October of 08′ I woke up and felt extreme pain in my neck and back and right shoulder and knew something was wrong. Although they did find bulging discs and minor bone spurs in my neck and back, I was told that this kind of pain was more than just that. I went through several tests and ended up with Fibromyalsia as my diagnoses. My doctor said their was no cure, and they know little about this disease I should expect to live with this pain for the rest of my life.
I was angry. what? You can’t fix it? But, how can you be sure? (That was all the information my Doc. gave me) I cried on my husbands shoulder after I got over the anger and denial (2 months later). This will change all our lives..what about our plans? My job? Our kids?
The pain has taken over and “good days”are few and far between. Medication I take does little to help (Tramadol and neurontin ) Last appt. was yesterday and Doc. said he really has no experience treating Fibro. I search the internet for solutions , diet ,stretches, meds and people like me and It gives me hope! I am currently in the trial/ error stage with the meds and looking for another Doc. that specializes with this condition.
Having places like this to communicate and read about others have been a blessing!!! Thank you for all you do!
