Tips for Healing from Fibromyalgia

Last Thursday, May 12th, was National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day.

I chose to post a series of free tips on how to heal from fibromyalgia on Twitter that day and got a few requests asking if I could please compile the tips all in one place for easier access. Your wish is my command! Here they are (below), straight from Twitter.

Of course, there are many facets to fibromyalgia and its usual companion, chronic fatigue syndrome. These tips are very high level and there are many more steps one must take to heal. However, these tips are a good start. Over time, as you weave all these pieces together and dig further to uncover your particular root causes and address those too with the right support, you will experience relief and, hopefully, full remission.

Simla’s Story :: Part 2 :: Anger & Bewilderment

Author’s note: This is the second installment in a series of articles about how I have healed from several health conditions and come to live very well with my autoimmune conditions, which are in full remission as long as I respect my triggers. The specific autoimmune conditions I will be writing about are:  fibromyalgia; undifferentiated connective tissue disorder; and, immunotoxicity. The other health conditions I will refer to in this context are:  chronic fatigue syndrome; adrenal fatigue; asthma; chronic bronchitis; pneumonia; food and environmental allergies; chronic bronchitis; multiple chemical sensitivity; lyme disease (also referred to as lyme’s disease); medication-induced hepatitis and pancreatitis; IBS; digestive issues; leaky gut; dysbiosis; candida; heavy metal toxicity, and others. While it’s personally difficult to relive a lot of this through the act of writing, I hope to provide the information and inspiration I wish I had while I was going through this life-altering experience. I write from the perspectives of a patient, a busy professional, an entrepreneur, a wife, a daughter, and as a certified health coach and nutrition expert, which is what my experience has led me to become. I’d love to hear from you if this proves helpful to you – you can email me at hello(at)enjoydelicioushealth.com.

Simla’s Story Healing from Autoimmune: Series Starting Week of 12/21/2009

[UPDATE: I changed my start date to the week of 12/21/2009. With how busy this month has been for me, I haven't found the head space or quiet, contemplative time to do this type of writing. I will also be clarifying what I mean by "healing" at that time, as this question was raised by a couple of readers recently. Until then, have a wonderful holiday season! Be well ~ Simla ]
