Fibromyalgia and Perverse Satisfaction

I tried the Cele­brex again today and it seemed to make quite a dif­fer­ence.  (It usu­ally makes me get sick to my stom­ach.)  For over an hour I felt the best I have in over three months… I felt 100%, for me.  I say “for me” because folks with fibromyal­gia know a fibrofolk’s 100% is, […]


Fibro on the Fly

I am start­ing a new tra­di­tion. Fairly fre­quent posts from my iPhone. They will be rel­a­tively brief, some­where between my tweets and my typ­i­cal posts, and will focus on the lit­tle things I usu­ally for­get to dis­cuss by the time I take the time to com­pose a full post.
