What we’re about
Dear Fibro. Friends,
THERE ARE NO MEET UPS AT THIS TIME. WAITING TO FIND A PLACE TO HAVE MEET UPS. IF ANYONE HAS AN IDEA THAT IS CENTRAL TO MEMBERS PLEASE FILL FREE TO MESSAGE THE COORDINATOR SANDY R.
Women struggling with fibromyalgia as a cronic invisible disorder is bad enough but going it alone is harder. It is a painful life of disheartening disappointments. A struggle daily to continue to make life count. Distressingly debilitating in socail activities. Miss understood by even Dr.s at times.
The belief is that with cardio exercise one can overcome it. But what if you have other problems that inhibit that kind of exercise? What about a healthy low sugar diet? Can depression make it worse? How about healthy pain control methods? What is lazy or am I in need of rest? This and other avenues of health will be the topic of this meet up.
