40 & Over: Living With Fibromyalgia

“I’ve got my ticket for the long way ‘round/The one with the prettiest of views/It’s got mountains, it’s got rivers, it’s got sights to give you shivers/But it sure would be prettier with you” -Anna Kendrick’s Cups/When I’m Gone

Selling Snake Oil? No Thanks.

May 25, 2019May 26, 2019 ~ Jennifer Coleman ~ 5 Comments

{Find a typo and I’ll gift you a snake charmer.} I "auditioned" a cognitive behavioral psychologist last week and finished my appointment feeling hopeful and happy. I so wanted to believe in him, and in the thing he said that I knew deep down couldn't be true: That he once helped a patient "cure fibro.” This week I … Continue reading Selling Snake Oil? No Thanks.

Yes, Mom, They Do Hang Low

May 21, 2019May 21, 2019 ~ Jennifer Coleman ~ 2 Comments

"Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie 'em in a knot? Can you tie 'em in a bow? Can you throw 'em o'er your shoulder Like a continental soldier? Do your ears hang low?" My Mom frequently sang this silly old song, often substituting "boobs" for ears. It's … Continue reading Yes, Mom, They Do Hang Low

The Interviewee & Fibro Awareness Month

May 16, 2019May 16, 2019 ~ Jennifer Coleman ~ Leave a comment

You can watch, re-watch, rewind, pause and come back to, fast forward, etc. my "let's be real about fibro" interview with Melissa of Support Fibro, link at bottom. It was very unusual for me to be the interviewee instead of interviewer. We covered many topics including the day I was diagnosed; what inspired me to … Continue reading The Interviewee & Fibro Awareness Month

7 Ideas to Help ME

April 30, 2019May 7, 2019 ~ Jennifer Coleman ~ 2 Comments

After doing well for a while ("well" as in fibro- #spoonie-well, not pre-fibro well), I've been in a devastatingly bad way. Here's what I'm trying this time around: I was asked to join the Support Fibro Team: cue much needed, non-pill form happy hormones, and of course purple hair for Fibromyalgia Awareness Month in May! … Continue reading 7 Ideas to Help ME

A Prayer of Sorts

April 11, 2019April 12, 2019 ~ Jennifer Coleman ~ 2 Comments

Yesterday I had a fibro flare from Hades due to a period of poor sleep while my daughters were sick on rotation. How many times can two kids pass a virus back and forth?! It was a TV binge, wear Husband’s b-ball shirt from the early 90s for comfort, Uber Eats pity-eat, and CBD cream … Continue reading A Prayer of Sorts

11 Things I Did During March The Lion

March 31, 2019April 1, 2019 ~ Jennifer Coleman ~ 4 Comments

I didn't know I needed a break from routine blogging in March until one and then two weeks passed without me sitting down to write. Being immersed in the #spoonie world has many and priceless positive benefits (empathy, helping, learning), but can also wear me down. I've felt better than usual on some days (not … Continue reading 11 Things I Did During March The Lion
