Improvements and Possibilities

Recently, I came across a study about Fibro that I really enjoyed reading---here is the link.

The really awesome thing about this study is that you can look at a ton of treatment options, from pain meds to marijuana to meditation and yoga, and see what people are finding helpful. In addition, there seems to be a drug, usually used for drug dependency, that has shown remarkable results. This is something I plan to discuss with my doctor.

Another thing I found interesting is that the medication I was put on, Cymbalta, is listed as not very helpful.  I however have benefited greatly from it. Out there in the Facebook and blogging worlds, most people have not benefited much, so I am feeling particularly fortunate today.

Here is a pic of the study results:

For more info, click the link above, and talk to your doctor about your options. Many of the options are inexpensive or free, like yoga and meditation, as well as dietary changes. I know people with chronic illnesses get sick of hearing other people telling them to try new things, but this time, it's coming from someone that has done so herself.

Gentle hugs!

A Healthy Part

Today, I got test results for a test I took....today.  Fabulously prompt turn-around, right?  Maybe American Health Care is NOT going into the crapper.  Nah, musta been a fluke.

Anyways, turns out, I got at least one healthy part on me--actually, two.  I had a mamogram this morning prompted by my Aunt's current battle with breast cancer, as well as some history in our family of breast cancer. Then, lo and behold in my in-box, there was a message saying that, and I quote:

"while glorious and silky smooth, there is nothing otherwise remarkable about your breasts. Flaunt them before they hit your knees."

or something like that.

I plan to celebrate with a jug of milk, two chicken breasts, and Coffee Nips.

Seriously, there are not many "boob"-like foods out there. Nothing rhymes with "aereola" or "breast". Except, "aereola" and "breast".
Men, they get all the good jokes.

Pick One, Will Ya?

I think it is complete and utter BULLSHIT that I must suffer with acne AND crow's feet at the same time.  It's some kind of sick joke on the part of Mother Nature.

Just sayin'.
