    Hi, i can relate to a lot of what your saying regards having to live with Fibromyalgia. For many years it's been part of my life, & to a point part of many others lives who know me or are are aquainted with me. For a long time in the late '90's i just tried my best to deni my poor health, but being married, having children, coping with juggling working, & so much more... finally took it's toll on me, to the point where i feel totally "broken" both emotionally, physically, & mentally. But all i can do is take one day at a time & pace myself, accept help (which i find extreemely hard to do still, after over 40yrs of living with Fibromyalgia). 😊

    42 years for me. The most mysterious debilitating medical illness on earth. We are as sick as one can be without dying. To be honest and without sugar coating anything for FM, CFS, ME patients we are no closer to a cure nor adequate effective treatment then we were 42 years ago. Note to all: If you do not have the following 3 symptoms then you do not have Fibromyalgia. Many doctor's have misdiagnosed this condition. There are no proven medical test to confirm Fibromyalgia. Thus the reason it may take years before a proper medical diagnosis can be made. There are many other symptoms however these following 3 conditions will let you know you have been accurately diagnosed. 1. Wide spread pain throughout the body, EVERYDAY! 2. Fatigue - A sever and overwhelming exaustion at any time of the day. Not necessarily every day. 3. Profound & intense non restorative Sleep Disorder. FM patients cannot fall into what is know as Slow Wave Delta Sleep. We have a constant inability to get deep sleep REM. Our brains are constantly awaken by what is called Alpha Wave Intrusion. A sleep study or what is medically known as a polysomography will identify this. There are 4 know stages of FM ranging from 1 to 4. Stage 4 being the most severe. I have spent the better part of my last 42 years researching and studying FM. Fibromyalgia is like an alarm system in the body that continues to ring although there is no reason the alarm continues to sound off. FM is not a new condition despite what people beleive as it has been well documented in excess of 100 years. Hello from beautiful Canada 🇨🇦

      40 years is such a long time to deal with fibromyalgia. I was like, "Wow!" But then I realized that for me, it's been 32 years. It's tough when doctors don't have the answers, isn't it? I've tried so many things too, and it still rocks my world everyday. Hang in there and hopefully we’ll keep finding new ways to manage it better. 💜

    You don't need a cordless mop. You need a ROBOT mop! I have 2 floor cleaning robots and one is a mop as well and they are LIFE CHANGING when you have fibromyalgia. I can have a lie down while the robot cleans the floor. You still need a cordless vacuum sometimes for getting into corners etc. But it means a cleaner house with way less effort. Pro tip: Look for a robot vacuum/mop that you can send to a specific area to clean so you can spot clean without having to lift the robot as they can be quite heavy. That way you can quickly clean up a mess without having to vacuum or mop an entire room. Hope this helps.

    I had that during my separations physical when I got out of the Marines. They said it was severe anxiety, lol. As crazy as it sounds what helps the most is exercise, especially elliptical machine at the gym or just going for a jog. It's like it burns all the adrenaline off. The downside is you feel horrific and dizzy during the first few minutes of a workout.

      I’m really sorry to hear you’re going through such a tough time. Fibromyalgia is incredibly draining, and it’s okay to feel like you can’t push through it sometimes. You’re not alone in this, I’ve been there too. It's okay to rest and take care of yourself. Sometimes giving yourself permission to slow down can make a big difference. Reach out if you need support, and don’t hesitate to lean on your community here. Take care and be gentle with yourself. 💜

    Read the book "Super Gut" by William Davis. He shows by his research that fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome, chronic fatigue and many other chronic illnesses are the result of an overgrowth of negative bacteria and fungus. This situation can be reversed by diet and avoidance of certain foods and food additives. I personally know three people who have transformed their lives with this information and protocol. Well worth reading his book it may transform your life.

    This is a very comprehensive list of coping skills with fibromyalgia, but I like your spin on it of "living"! I've learned some new things from this, and you've reinforced some findings I've had in my long fibromyalgia journey as being what other people come up with as well. Thanks for all the effort you do to make such quality content, Daniela! You are much appreciated. One insight I might share is with regard to doctor specialties. When I was diagnosed in 1994, I felt like rheumatologists were really engaged as the go-to specialty for our condition. But now, they seem the quickest to dismiss us. I did have a great relationship last year with a rheumatologist, but unfortunately his practice does not take my new insurance, so I had to go elsewhere. If I change back to an insurance he takes, I'll be sure to return to him.

    Hi Daniela, thank you for the movie suggestions. Even though I've seen them all at least once, your praise for these movies makes me really want to watch them again. I can't pick a favorite. At the moment I'm most looking forward to a comedy. One of my favorite movies is "Due Date" it is a Comedy-Drama. I think you will also really like it. I've also been struggling with all the weather changes lately. It's hard on the body. Two days ago I was under my electric blanket and today it is 30C - 86F. And fight a migraine today. Sometimes it feels like a never-ending story... of struggle and pain. So, yes...time for some humor😁 Lots of love, strength and health to you and to everyone here in this company❣

One day we’re wrapped in blankets, and the next it’s sweltering. That's spring in Canada. Now we are moving into Summer and we have to deal with Summer storms. I hope your migraine eases up soon.

    OMG!! I hate to say I know how you feel, only because I don't want to diminish your pain in any way. But what you you just read was so similar to my MRI reading I received at the end of April of this year for my cervical spine and the CT-scan from my lumbar spine last fall before the last fall. I have 4 levels of bilateral stenosis (compression) in the cervical spine and 2 levels of central stenosis in the cervical spine with new bone growth that was not there in March of 2023 when they did a bony fusion at C6/7 and removed 3 spikey osteophytes as well as a ton of scar tissue from the 2006 fusion where the scar tissue became adhesions and didn't stop growing causing twice the amount of time to do the surgery. I am now waiting for the surgical scheduler to call for the 3rd fusion and this time they are going to put stabilizing cables in from the back after they complete the fusion from the front. I am so extremely sorry you are facing this pain! I would not want anyone to feel this! Last night I laid in bed for about three hours with fiery hot nerve pain in the right side of my face unable to do anything but try to hold still so the pain would not increase. I want to be able to live a life that does not require me to stay alone in this bed. I really hope you get the meds you need to help you. I don't know what is next after this surgery for me, But I hope I will be able to laugh more with out trying to hold back out of fear of pain.

      Wow, it sounds like you’ve been through so much. I can’t even imagine how tough all those surgeries and the constant pain must be. It’s awful to have to deal with fiery nerve pain like that. I really hope you get that call soon and the next surgery brings some relief. I totally understand wanting to live a life without being stuck in bed. I’m rooting for you to get there. ake care, and keep us posted on how you're doing. 💜

      @@tt_looking_glass 🧡🧡 I got the call yesterday and I’m having surgery Monday 07/01/2024 My heart goes out to you!! I am sending all the good juju in hopes your ophthalmologist agrees with your needed medication. I also want to tell you not every video or vlog or whatever it’s called needs to be dynamic or inspirational. You have created a community of people that understand your experiences. And they are interested in your journey because they relate. Especially to the everyday common struggles. Just remember these “followers” are interested in you… exactly how you are. And imho, if they’re not oh well! Forget about em! Lol

    I can so relate. I haven’t been comfortable sitting in a regular chair for years. I have ddd but a previous g.p. thought I had a.s.. My spine has never fused so rheumatologists pretty much laughed me out of their office. I am hla B27 positive , I have eye trouble and have had 4 back surgeries. Crazy pain and wide spread neuropathy . I’ve been referred for Ketamine but cannot afford it. I am not far from Toronto but haven’t found a clinic tha doesn’t charge 750 dollars per infusion. Your back sounds terrible. Similar to mine. There is new research that fibro myalgia can be seen in brain imaging. So it likely originates in the brain. It’s on you tube.

      I’m really sorry to hear about all you’re going through. Chronic pain and all those surgeries is such a tough road. I totally get the frustration with finding affordable treatment, it's a constant battle. I wish more options were accessible to everyone who needs them. Have you looked into Centenary Pain Clinic in Scarborough? With a referral, OHIP covers the infusions there, which might be a big help. Hang in there, and know you're not alone in this. Take care and keep reaching out, support makes a world of difference.

    Thank you Daniela for the movie suggestions. I’m going to try to get them at the library. We too are having such erratic weather and my fibro is flaring up in my left foot - bad. Once in awhile that ankle hurts due to the weather changes but not as bad as the last two days. I can barely walk and therefore cry a lot.

      I’m so glad you liked the movie suggestions! The library is a great idea, there's something special about borrowing a good film. I totally feel you on the weather and fibro flare-ups. It’s like our bodies have their own weather radar, right? I’m really sorry to hear about your ankle. It’s so hard when the pain is that bad.I had plantar fasciitis and wasn't able to walk and it turned my world upside down. Be gentle with yourself and know you’re not alone in this. Sending you lots of strength and a virtual hug. Take care! ❤️

    For me the following movies make me relax/smile/go to lalaland; The Shawshank Redemption (just saying that out loud 3 times is fun!), Grease (for some singalong), Big & Forrest Gump (because Tom Hanks) and Pretty Woman (no list is done without Julia!) Your suggestions are great too, I'm going to rewatch Big Lebowski this week! 👍

      I love your list! The Shawshank Redemption is definitely one of those movies that is something else, and you're so right about saying it out loud. Grease is perfect for singalongs and Tom Hanks is just pure gold, isn't he? Pretty Woman is an absolute classic-Julia Roberts at her finest! I'm so glad you liked my suggestions! Enjoy rewatching The Big Lebowski; it's always a good choice for some laughs and relaxation. 😊

    <3 oh sweetie I am so sorry :( Saying that it sucks is just not enough. It just baffles me that the healthcare system can be so calloused and yet ...not surprised which is sad. Sending you so many thoughts and prayers that things work out and can move faster with the other dr. Coming to terms with a new diagnoses, medications and possibly going on biologics is a looooot to deal with. But I really hope you get the help you need and finally something that can lighten the load at least a little <3
