The hair, the lipstick, the outfit -- so g o r g e o u s on you! You look very Zooey Deschanel with the hair and lip. Tres adore! Can't wait for the tat story
So sorry to read that you were diagnosed with fibromyalgia!!! That sucks, though it probably feels good to have a diagnosis instead of wondering what's wrong.
I was diagnosed with it in 2005. The things that helped me significantly were getting on specific thyroid medications. (Armour and Cytomel, if you're wondering; Synthroid made all my symptoms worse. I have the autoimmune disease Hastimoto's Thyroiditis.) And strangely enough... exercise. I I find the endorphin rush really helps manage the pain. In fact, I almost have to exercise daily. Nothing intense like circuits or P90X. I walk, do light yoga/stretches, self myofascial massage (rolling on a foam roller), and lift weights. That and meds, and I live almost pain free and feel good. If I get lazy with either one, I get so achy I can't sleep, work, or do anything but toss and turn. It is very painful.
I've found some studies that link fibromyalgia with hypothyroidism and autoimmune diseases, which includes Hashimotos (hypo form) and Graves (hyper form.) Worth getting your thyroid blood panel done to see if you have any issues.
Rachylou, I didn't have health insurance until a year or two ago. Might have to try some IV vitamins.
