A Little About Me

First, let me introduce myself. My name is Jenn, and I am a 34 year old woman with fibromyalgia. I work full time as a high school science teacher, and I live alone in my condo. I first began experiencing severe symptoms of fibromyalgia in September 2010, but did not seek medical treatment until May 2011. By then, I was beside myself - I was in constant pain, I slept only 3-4 hours a night, and I was experiencing mood swings and depression. I was sent to a rehab specialist who loaded me up with medication - I've been on Celebrex, Cymbalta, Prozac, Lorazepam, Trazadone, and a few others who's names I can't remember. Although my symptoms improved, I never felt "well". My days were dull, I was lacklustre, and I still couldn't get enough sleep. In April of this year, I gave up all of my meds and decided to try naturopathic medicine instead. I have also begun a strength training program.

I started this blog to share my experiences with you, since I have found resources for fibromyalgia sufferers to be sorely lacking. In fact, were I live (Durham Region, Ontario), there are no support groups for people with FM or chronic pain. My hope is that my blog will connect FM sufferers and provide them with ideas alternative therapies, and a forum for discussion - but mostly, I hope it provides FM sufferers with the knowledge that they are not alone, and that there is hope for improvement.

  1. Natural herbs have cured so many illnesses that drugs and injections can't cure. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I read people's testimonies online on how they were cured of Herpes, HPV, Diabetics , Hepatitis, Stomach bug , Chronic pains Fibro pains. etc. by herbal natural medicine, so I decided to contact the doctor because I know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with Hsv for the past years but Dr Chike cured me with his natural herbs. Believe it or not. I am a living testimony. There is no harm trying natural herbs.
