Conquering Fibromyalgia

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia approximately 12 years ago. At the time, I wasn't even able to lift a coffee pot. I was able to manage and maintain it at a lower level for a few years in between then and now. But the past couple of years have brought a great amount of trauma, stress, and grief; which has exacerbated it again. My diet and mental health is not great, although it is on the upswing again.

Fibromyalgia is real. My symptoms are real. My pain is real and unending. But I have not and refuse to succumb to it. This IS fixable. Not just "manageable". It will be a process, but one I am willing to and NEED to endure. I know there is a lot of things contributing to the cause, and it will be like peeling the layers of an onion. I have many emotional issues that need to be addressed, as well. 

I anticipate the tone of this beat to reflect much of how my emotional state is at the moment- sometimes raw, sometimes emotionless (as I compartmentalize some things to deal with others), sporadic, etc. But I want to document my journey and progress. Please ask questions and interact if/when you feel- it will help keep me accountable, also.

Thank you for joining me. I'm sure it will be a bit of a rollercoaster ride. Then again, I always did enjoy rollercoasters. 😉❤
