Hi everyone. I haven't been on SR for a while. I've been on Facebook alot and also doing alot of research and being proactive in Fibromyalgia Awareness. Also being proactive in researching vitamin supplements and alternative treatments for fibro.

I have gotten really bad. The fibro Fog is setting in and is scaring the he** out of me. I am losing short term memory, some cognitive skills and some fine motor skills. I have been having a hard time typing due to pain and finger cooperation.

Anyone who is on facebook there is a page for the National Fibromyalgia Association. It is a great support page and informational page.

If anyone is interested, it seems that the some of the suppliments that work well, and have helped me are:
Magnesium, Vitamin D, B-complex, folic acid and fish oil.

Also realizing and admitting to my limitations. I can't do as much as I used to, I can't do as much as I want to, and everyone else has to be ok with that and if they are not, then Oh well. There is nothing that can change it. I need to take care of me and keep my pain to a tolerable level. As well as the other problems that fibro comes with.

I have been depending alot of God and other Fibromites who understand, and trying to get information to my family and friends who care enough to be interested in it, so they can better understand what we go through.

It's nice to see some familiar names and some new ones as well. I will try to pop in more often.
