One Step Closer
After blogging about my ice allergy, I once again searched the internet for more information to try to find a connection between it and fibromyalgia. I got a little more intense than usual and also searched for information on fibromyalgia and latex allergies.

“Ice Is Nice”
Remember Val Kilmer’s line in the movie “Real Genius”?  That used to be my motto.  Not anymore.

Pilates - A Commitment to Living Well
At Pilates, yesterday, my instructor asked if I’d had any pain from our last workout. Silly me answered negatively, so she upped the workout. So I am sore today.
But, it’s a good sore; unlike the achy joint pain, which can be quite sharp at times. It makes me […]
