      It is so important to believe in yourself. Believe that you can do it, under any circumstances. Because if you believe you can, then you really will. That belief just keeps you searching for the answers, and then pretty soon you get it.

      Always expect the best. Then if you have to hurdle a few tough problems, you will have generated the strength and courage to do so.

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I have suffered with fibromyalgia for about 30 years. Only seven of those have I been diagnosed and treated. February of this year, I was facing being bed-ridden by year's end. I am not cured. But I am 75% better than I was and am now working from my home helping others to live better. Please let me help. Several of us that suffer with the dreadful disease have recently gotten some well needed relief. Please, please, anyone out there let me help you. Sha Ly

      Aqua Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Very temporary relief.
      Morphine Working / Worked
      Wonderful stuff, but my doctor would not give it me long term.
      Neurontin Not Working
      this did notning for me.
      Ultram Working / Worked
      This works, but I stayed drugged.
      Vitamin B12 Not Working
      My body would not absorb the vitamins.
      Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful
      my only problem with this med was that after 2yrs of taking it, I started falling down and injuring myself. I was having small seizures.
    • Close Chronic Pain

      I suffer from fibromyalgia. I took me some time to get anyone would listen. I ended up in a Mental Health hospital before a doctor finally took me seriously. But it was the best thing that could have happened. They gave me a EEG and found that the fibro was real. I have since found something that helps even more than my meds. It allowed me to cut my meds in half. sha ly
