First allow me to introduce myself. I'm a 26 year old mother of three that has suffered from fibromyalgia for almost three years now. I was first diagnosed in December of 2008. Since then I have been struggling with ways to deal with the day to day pain. I am hoping that through this blog I can help clear up the misunderstanding that some people have that fibromyalgia is just a mental condition, all in the person's head and is not something to be taken seriously. From personal experience I know that this is a real condition,but I know that there are many people out there that think I'm making this all up. I also hope that through this blog I can help people that might think that they have fibromyalgia recognize the signs and symptoms. The last thing that I hope to do with this blog is to help spread awareness of the different treatment options that are not only based in traditional medicine,but also alternative medicine treatments. I personally want to be able to find a viable treatment plan that doesn’t involve such expensive medication. It's not that I'm against medication,but I know that I personally cannot afford it and would like to know what other options are available to me. To learn a little more about fibromyalgia visit the Mayo Clinic's website http://www.mayoclinic.com/.
I know that fibromyalgia is not just a mythical condition; there are people close to me who suffer with it. I will definitely be keeping an eye on your blog, especially on the alternative medical treatments. I am one who believes that if you can do it naturally then all the better. The only thing I can suggest is maybe trying to drink some mint green tea. It seems to have an anti-inflammatory effect that can help soothe the muscles. Best of luck on finding a treatment that works for you.
