Why Fibromyalgia Is Worse For Women Who Are Night Owls

This is a very interesting video. It's only a couple minutes but worth watching. He makes a valid point about the tender point method of diagnosing Fibro, and that pain may not be the most prominent symptom. ( Not always anyway). I know this to be true from personal experience. Some days the depression or brain fog are more invasive and disruptive than the pain ever could be. I like his explanation for the new ways of testing/diagnosing and hope people realize they really may need to find another doctor if they are not diagnosing correctly because in reality Fibromyalgia mimics or vise-versa  so many other diseases and syndromes you want to really make sure it is Fibro you actually have so you can begin to treat its symptoms CORRECTLY and KICK IT'S BUTT!!

Fibromyalgia Patients Self-Medicating With Cannabis May Have Poor Mental Health Outcomes

With all the newest news about how cannabis is helpful for relief of Fibro symptoms I saw this today and felt obligated to share....
This information is not a surprise to me, as I have always said no matter how bad it gets, this is not an option for me! Even in high school when they show the scan of the brain of a smoker vs non smoker there is damage, HOLES if you will, dead spots.Pain or no pain, I'll pass, but if it helps someone, well that's their choice and I'm glad they feel better!
