Tips for Easing Fibromyalgia Pain Naturally

July 14, 2009 By FibroHaven 33 Comments

With the June 30, 2009 vote by the Federal Drug Administration advisory committee to eliminate prescription acetaminophen-combination painkillers, Fibromyalgia patients have to be concerned. Concerns of abuse, addiction, and even cases of death, led to their recommendation to ban prescription painkillers like vicodin and percocet. The committee also voted to lower the maximum dose of over-the-counter painkillers with acetaminophen, like Tylenol and Excedrin, due to a rise in cases of liver damage. According to the FDA, acetaminophen remains the leading cause of liver failure in the U.S. It … [Read more...]

Fibromyalgia Newsletters are a Great Information Resource

June 17, 2009 By FibroHaven 4 Comments

Every morning I sit down at my computer and go directly to my e-mail. Usually much has transpired since I last checked in (because my "morning" is most people's afternoon). I subscribe to many heath & wellness site newsletters - WebMD, ProHealth, Everyday Health, etc.. Most newsletters come once a month, and I am always anxious to check out the article headlines to see what I am going to read first.   This morning I found ProHealth's June newsletter, Fibromyalgia HealthWatch. I have read many interesting Fibromyalgia articles on ProHealth. That is where I learned of the Fibromyalgia … [Read more...]

Gluten Intolerance: The Culprit Behind Many Chronic Illnesses

June 8, 2009 By FibroHaven 23 Comments

Do you ever find yourself feeling achy and fatigued for no apparent reason? Are you experiencing headaches, muscle and joint pain, irritability, bloating, or digestion problems? The symptoms you are experiencing may be an adverse reaction to the foods you eat. These are just a few of the many indicators of gluten intolerance, a condition gaining recognition as a contributing factor behind many chronic health issues. Gluten is the complex protein found in wheat, barley, rye and some oats. For many, our bodies are unable to digest these proteins properly. That headache you experience after a … [Read more...]

It’s Day 30 of My 30-in-30 Writing Assignment!

May 31, 2009 By FibroHaven 4 Comments

I did it! I made it through my self-imposed 30-in-30 writing assignment. Wow, what a roller coaster it has been. I really learned a lot about what I am capable of and a little about over-doing it. Before sitting down today to write this post I looked back over the previous 29 and was actually impressed with the quality of what I put out there, even on the days when the last thing I wanted to do was to sit at my computer and write.  I thought I would do a little recap of the posts and my health and frame of mind the day I wrote them. My Favorite Posts from the Last 30 Days I Do Not Want to … [Read more...]

Fibromyalgia Affects Everyone: An Interview with My Niece

May 29, 2009 By FibroHaven 20 Comments

My niece Dani is thirteen years old. I have been living with the symptoms of Fibromyalgia almost every day of her life. This is the only way she knows me. With the guidance of her mother and a naturally compassionate heart, she has always been very loving and even nurturing towards me. We have a great relationship and I am so proud of the young woman she is becoming. I love spending time with her and have her at my house often. She sees firsthand the difference between a "good" and a "bad" day. She is with me today and it gave me the idea to interview her for my blog. I thought you might be … [Read more...]
