I have a couple of friends with fibro and it is very much a case of listening to your body and pacing yourself each day. It sounds like you are approaching it in a very positive way. One of my friends cut out aspartame and found that helpful.Fiona@Staring at the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17893269475772722633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746656646280276215.post-80541160574027473172011-10-05T19:07:19.402-04:002011-10-05T19:07:19.402-04:00Hope the new way of eating is helpful.

You are right, it is not a death sentence, I think it's one of those things you just need to really pay attention to what your body is telling you. I'm sure you know this already but Christy Tomlinson talks about her fibromyalgia and how she tries to deal with it. <br /><br />I'm going to print out the post you provided the link to. I find it very interesting he suggests to singletask... wow what a concept! I know for myself, I can run around in circles and not accomplish a darn thing, so I try to purposefully focus on one thing... it works! <br /><br />Take care :)Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722162429142110718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746656646280276215.post-80867793669169991952011-10-02T18:59:42.620-04:002011-10-02T18:59:42.620-04:00We all deal with something and I have no doubt you...We all deal with something and I have no doubt you will handle this with trademark grace and defiance!
