What Do You Do For Your Self Care?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I told myself this year I am to take better care of myself!!! So far I've been very slow at it ( for obvious reasons) NO more excuses; I am my top priority!
So please tell me what it is that helps you feel better and relaxed or pampered??! Do you use expensive/quality shampoo conditioner??? Get you nails done??
Button line what's your "GO-To" for self care???? Beyond medication.

Hi all, I am newly diagnosed. I seek Naturopathic care for most everything. My PM&R Doctor wants to put me on Lyrica. Who has tried it and which of the three do you take now? Thanks!

Does Anyone Have A Caregiver/carer? What Are Your Experiences?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Right now I live with my mom and her boyfriend, my mom is essentially an unpaid caregiver for me. I'm hoping to move out but I don't think I could be completely independent on my own. I've been looking into the process of getting a caregiver, and I'm planning on my mom sticking with being my caregiver, just getting paid for it finally. Does anyone else here have a caregiver, officially or unofficially? What are your experiences like?

I’ve Posted This Before, I Wake Up With Painful Vibrations. I Don’t Know What Drives Them, I Don’t Remember Dreams.
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

The fibro pain is overlayed with this sensation. I went to dr, and blood pressure is high. 140/90. I’m always in the 120’s 70’s. Is this high blood pressure sensation? I have NO insurance, and now my primary care dr is sending me to a neurologist. I can’t afford wild goose chases, any thoughts anyone. Thank you for any answers.
