I've been busy producing... Fibromyalgia: Treatment and Management for work.

[Guest guest]

Sorry I dropped off the earth. I've been very busy and honestly kind

of anti-social and very depressed.

However, I have been busy doing good things as well. My job at NARIC

has me produce bi-monthly research brief publication on various

disability and rehabilitation topics. For Feb. I did one on...

Fibromyalgia: Treatment and Management. You can view it at...

It is basically all the research I found on treatment and management

of FM from the past 10 years using about... 4-5 databases. Might be

interesting to some of you. *shrug*

I've also been busy taking an aqua exercise class. I started out in

something called Aquacise but transferred over into the arthritis

group. It is much better for me than the other class and I am finding

that I am feeling a bit better overall. I really enjoy water

therapy/exercise. I'm the baby of the group of course. I'm also

taking swim lessons. That isn't going as well as I would like. I'm

still trying to get the floating thing down--but I'm trying. At least

I'm getting more comfortable in the water. This is important to me

since water therapy is particularly useful to our condition.

Working with the HR department at my work to see about getting

alternative therapies put back into our health insurance. I like to

try out acupuncture and possibly massage to help with the symptoms.

We shall see. Also trying to make sure they don't screw up my mental

health benefits. That would be bad.

Still single... still very much alone. Struggling with some personal

demons but overall I am well.

I hope everyone else is well too!

So nice to see you post . It sounds like though you have been somewhat

depressed, you have been doing some very constructive things. I am going to

read the research brief. Thanks girl.

I know being single is a little lonely but sometimes it is not an all bad

thing. But keep on living life and you might stumble onto the right one. We

never know girl.

Let us all know how the water exercises are helping you. I would like to do

it but I don't think I could force my lazy tired a$$ out the door to go and do

it. LOL.

hugs to ya,

I'm sorry you are depressed and anti-social. I just wanted you to know that

when my depression (which is always there) really gets a hold of me, I

become very anti-social too. not even wanting to answer the phone.

Hi - Thanks for checking in. Lots of us feeling depressed, but hoping

that will change as Spring moves in. I'm glad you like your water exercise.

I've taken the Arthritis class at our Y in the past and I was the baby there,

too. It seemed the ladies exercised their mouths more than their body parts.

LOL! Good luck with the swimming lessons. I give you credit for learning as an

adult. Take care.
