Body Shop

EEEE, I went a little crazy on the Body Shop website.

Luckily, I had a good excuse. 

I have heard about cooling lotions and really wanted to try one out.

As I discuss in this post, the summers are really hard on me.

I am really hoping the cooling products I purchased will help with some of that!

So here we gooooooo!

A Day in the Life.

Grab a snack kids, this one is a little long.
The doctors tell me fibromyalgia symptoms are the worst in winter.

Apparently, I'm a freak because summers kill me.

Today got to 80 degrees and I am dreading a full summer of this.

The pain is the same as it is all year but the neurological symptoms get so much worse. 

I want to take you through how a warm day feels for me.

Diagnosis - Fibromyalgia

Searching for a diagnosis is difficult and tiring. 

Being diagnosed is no different when it is something that isn't curable.

I am 21 and have been feeling progressively worse since I was 13.

That is a really long time. 

This winter I was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.

I thought having a name to my problems would make them better, I was wrong. 

It made me feel even more hopeless and I landed in a pretty dark place.
