About Dannette:
Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1997, I have been learning to live well with it ever since. The first step was accepting that my life would be different. Then I had to learn to embrace the new me, and all that I still have to offer. It hasn’t been easy, but I hope that by writing about my journey, you will feel more understood, and recognize that you are valuable, and you are not alone.
Dannette’s Philosophy for FibroHaven:
I have adopted a holistic approach to wellness, which means I am learning to address all parts of myself, not just the physical symptoms that manifest into what is now called fibromyalgia.
I believe strongly in the mind-body connection and look at my body as a whole – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual – and believe that to grow and improve in one area, I need to be mindful of all areas.
It is a process, and I still have much to learn. FibroHaven is an exploration of my learning process. Here I share the good, the bad, the joyful, and the unmanageable – with a strong emphasis on the Good and the Joyful!
I encourage you to share as well. There is nothing I can do alone that isn’t infinitely improved with the camaraderie and support of community. My hope is for FibroHaven to be a nurturing place of caring and sharing, a place where you can learn and grow, a place where you will be inspired to begin your own journey to wellness.

Hi– I’m another fibroblogger, and I happened across your page. I wanted to let you know that National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness week is coming up, which tries to spread awareness about illnesses like fibro. I’m going to be blogging for Invisible Illness Week, and thought I’d spread the word in case you were interested!
