A caring family

Entry by Dana Sturgill-Bledsoe from Winchester KY, US:

My true love story doesn’t start when I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia it starts in 1984 when my husband had a dream that he met a dark haired girl with glasses and he married her. We have been through a lot in our nearly 29 years.

Entry by Maggie, Southport, Merseyside, UK

Though I’m hurting all over, your help gets me through,

For I know you are with me, in all that I do,

You’re there to support me and offer advice,

For coping with something that’s really not nice,

STARS FELL

Entry by Betty Lipton from New Smyrna Beach, FL, US. Dedicated to her husband Bob.

The stars fell
from the sky
the day
I married Bob.

He took my
broken heart
and mended all
the unseen hurt.

Entry by Cheryl Lafferty for - THE conTEST OF TRUE LOVE.

First, there was one, lonely and free, 

until April of 87 when Lady found me.
I took her in and that made us two, 

what joy I had with the addition of you.

Tips from Fibromyalgia Patients

As part of our #holdmyhand campaign, we are making a list of tips from patients suffering from fibromyalgia. These are tips that worked for some, if not all of the patients.

If you have unbearable symptoms and are looking for sound advice, this is where you can hear from several patients who are members of our Fibromyalgia Awareness campaign and/or are #holdmyhand campaigners.

Please note: These are tips from patients who found relief and different people behave differently to treatments. For example, I am not supposed to do yoga for now but swimming is recommended while yoga works for many patients. So do consult your doctor before you try anything new. Take care.

Tip 1: YOGA, EXERCISE AND HEALTHY DIET
