ME
always trying to remember the words to finish a sentence… celebrating life with fibromyalgia, major depression and ADD.
MY FAMILY
i have been with my beautiful husband for 20+ years and together we have a two crazy, funny, wonderful children.
our son is going to college and our daughter is in middle school.
our dog tani was rescued from the local pound, she came as a blessing when my godmother passed away. i truly believe she is an angel and was specifically chosen by my godmother for us.
MY LOVES
i love to read, scrapbook, make cards, papercraft in general, hang out with my friends, go to the beach with my family and friends, watch movies, first fall when the weather is just changing… i love build-a-bear and have made it a practice with my daughter to build-a-bear every time a loved one passes away as a gesture of remembrance.
i value respect, honesty, humor and the ability to forgive.
MY PAIN
i have been dealing with chronic pain since 2006 and depression since the 90′s. i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2008 after many, many failed doctor visits and years of pain.
i am learning how to deal with my condition and researching how others live and what the medical field is doing to improve the lives of people like me.
MY BLOG
i created this blog to share my experience with fibromyalgia. my ups, my downs, my doctor visits, what i learn and what i recommend.
i hope you enjoy what i share and i look forward to your feedback!
I’m glad to meet you. My name is Linda. I have everything you have plus chronich fatigue which is now far worse than the fibro pain. Sometimes I describe the way I feel is to say that I feel like a wet dishrag and that I don’t even know where my next breath is going to come from. The brain fog is becomming a complete embarrasment. I will favorite your blog.
Tomorrow (Australian Time – sorry!), I will be nominating you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award…Congratulations. As with all these awards, there are rules before acceptance – please check out tomorrow’s post (http://fibromodem.com/?p=10116) to see what is required.

You are so super cool!!! I am way honored!! Thank you! Thank you! I am coming over to your blog to check it out…. but this I have put the award on my page…
Hi:
I would like to create a link to your blog — I am trying to build a site with a postive attitude towards chronic pain in general, and you offer great insights into as a survivor of chronic pain. I would like to include the letter to folks without fibromyalgia in my blog as well. Let me know if linking is okay by you. I don’t tweet/twitter as I don’t have a cell phone, so regular email is my communication method.
Thanks,
phylor
That’s great! Totally cool with me… btw, twitter is generally done by the internet so if you are interested go to http://www.twitter.com for information. It really is an excellent source of information and source for those people unable to get out and get support outside of the home.
Thank you for you support!
you won’t believe it but i have an identical dog from a shelter. Really!!!! they look so much alike. my dog is 7 years old and she is my best friend. I adore her. and our kids are about the same age too. i love your blog!!!!! and if any of the fibro friends also have hashimotos thyroitis, send them my way. there are different things to do, it’s a totally different ballgame. p.s. i’m still impressed with your BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh, I may make you laugh (which I hope to continue to do) but you are my holy master of blogging. Look at your website, it’s gorgeous and as my daughter used to say when she was little “prettiful.” I am so computer illiterate It took me a long time to find where to comment!! we are definitely new friends. thanks for introducing me to your Twitter group (am I supposed to say “Tweet” now?) see you online. I hope you get this comment.
Thank you so much for the “prettiful” compliment! I started with a different them… and gradually every day made changes and I still make changes to it. All you have to do is keep on playing with it. I want to get to the point where I can make it “my own”. I don’t quite feel that way yet.
Just remember, you can’t break anything. Just be patient, it just takes time… and for us (fibromites) time is something we have, since we normally aren’t out running around the track! Also, read through the WordPress 24/7 support pages and watch those little tutorial videos. I know, trust me, I have ADHD… you are thinking, “Are you serious? Watch a video? Hell no!” They are super short and it helps to speed up the learning process. AND you don’t have to bother family members. Bonus!
I hope you get this comment back… :) I’m going back to your blog to read the latest.. I saw that you have blogged again. Can’t wait to read it!!
