Why Do We Worry Ourselves Sick? FibroTV Podcast Episode #16
We sometimes hear of a person worrying so much about something that they become obsessed with fear. We talk about someone being “worried sick.” A state of worry and fear causes chemical changes in the brain, pituitary gland, and adrenal glands.

Doctors often recommend exercise for patients with fibromyalgia, but the chronic pain and fatigue associated with the condition can make activities like running and swimming difficult.
Tai chi — a slow, meditative martial art — may be an effective alternative, a new study suggests.
Fibromyalgia patients who took tai chi classes twice a week for three months experienced less pain, stiffness, and fatigue than a control group that attended lifestyle education and stretching sessions, according to the study, which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. (more…)

A Letter to The “Fibromites” I am a spouse of someone with fibro………
We have all read “The Letter To The Normals.” This shows the other side of that letter. Sometimes we get so caught up in our own illness and struggles with our illness we forget that it is affecting everyone around us that love us. They also morn for the loss of who we use to be. Our families, spouses, children, and friends are affected by chronic illness as well.
