Did you know that 5-8% of the US population have Fibromyalgia? And, of that number, 80% are women? Fibromyalgia is a devastating illness that impacts every aspect of a sufferers life. I frequently hear of lost jobs, lost friendships, broken marriages, and other major impacts quite often due to misunderstanding Fibromyalgia. Besides the pain, that can be nearly constant, women deal with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, neuropathies, depression, insomnia, frequent infections, malnourishment, hormonal problems, and many other symptoms. After personally battling with chronic Lyme Disease and Fibromyalgia for 25 years, and eventually being forced to give up my successful RN career, I spent several years very ill. However, I eventually found doctors who worked with me until my medication regime allowed me to be optimally productive with minimal side affects. Eating right, mild exercise, sleeping well, the use of alternative modalities, all worked to help me manage my symptoms. Now I help others with Fibromyalgia to explore their life skills so they can create more productive, joyous, passion driven lives. My goal with this contest is to create more #FibromyalgiaAwareness. You can help by participating and entering a favorite photo into the contest and by getting your friends and family involved. Im counting on you! Thank you in advance! #FibroLIVIN
