Jekca If I could like something twice I would like this. Isn't it sad that "You can't really be popular AND stand up for the less fortunate." It really shouldn't be this way. And really, popular for what? Big fish in a high school pond? I look back now and realize...

patgalca @QualityCheck1 I have had to look around to make sure I get Magnesium with Malic Acid. Citrate means it digests and gets into your blood stream easily. So you have to check the label and make sure you are getting Malic Acid with your Magnesium. It is very...

My 16-year old daughter, who hates needles, came up to me out of the blue yesterday and told me she wants to get a tattoo! I was quite surprised, and I was pretty sure she was joking with me! But, it turns out she is serious about...

Jeff Moffitt She's never even had a job before, so she totally does not understand the concept of modesty in the workplace! I just plan to keep talking to her about it in a non-judgmental way and see if it sinks in.

Jeff Moffitt My daughter is like that, and I couldn't be more proud of her for being who she is! At least I know I don't have to worry about her following the wrong crowd, because she doesn't follow any crowd! She leads her own crowd! lol

Living with fibromyalgia means knowing what unending pain and fatigue are like on a daily basis. The best comparison I can give is to imagine how you feel the day after a car accident - it hurts to move in general, some spots...

Yuki @Lolaze I think what I find most fascinating is the different ways that individuals can be affected by fibro. I rarely have issues with pain in my legs being that overwhelming, but my arms and hands... hoo boy. Some days I can't even stand being touched by a...

Yuki @mythociate Okay, so clearly I'm misunderstanding a bit here. I'm sorry. I took it as you were saying that we should let go of the fibromyalgia, not that you were saying we should let go of the chains that preconceived notions of what fibromyalgia is put on...
