I just got back from Barnes and Noble with a new copy of the "Fibromyalgia Aware" magazine. What a gold-mine of information. I must have been in a hole somewhere, because it says it is volume 13. I thought it was something brand new.
Anyway, if you can get to B & N or Borders, you'll probably be glad you did… although you may want to call first. This edition of "Fibromyalgia Aware" is from May - August, so it should be on the stands for a while.
It looks like they have a web site at FMAware.org. You can check out some of the information there.
Have a great day!

I have been in pain for 34 years. For all of those years I heard it was Psychosomatic(?) or Stress, etc, etc, etc…Finally this year after raisning cane with my GP, I found out that I have DDD, degenerate disc desease, but I also have Fibro. I know that everyone here has gone through the same things I have, with Doctors as well as family and friends. You get really tired of hearing, "oh, it can't be that bad", or "why don't you want to do anything physical". And when you reply, "because it hurts too much", you're given that "Ya, whatever" look. Sometimes, I'd like to transfer that days pain to the owner of the look, just so they can understand. I know that my constant pain has caused all sorts of problems with friends, family and relationships. It's hard to find someone who will stand by you when you feel so miserable so often.
I hope that through this community I will find some ways to cope.
