The changing of seasons is one of the most beautiful sights to see at this time of year. But not if you allow yourself to become isolated because of Fibromyalgia pain! Get out of the bed. Get out of the house. MOVE! 5 minutes at a time is all you need. Build up to 10, 15, 20, 25, then 30 minutes a day. Come on! You can DO IT, FIBROWARRIOR!

The first freeze of winter and we survived, Fibro-Warriors! Did you venture out of the house today? I was achy, too. BUT the sun DID shine brightly. Dress warmly, and go outside even if it's only for 5 minutes. Breathe in the crisp air. Enjoy the beautiful colors on the trees. Yes, our challenges are real. So are our STRENGTHS!🙌

Today could not be considered a " good " day for me if I allowed it to be. However, I always remember that I control my day. Not Fibromyalgia. Today I need rest, spiritual support, family, friends, and my comfort dog, Mr. Coco! How about you, fellow Fibro- Warriors?
