There is a seated step machine????? Huh.....sounds interesting.
I am glad you are feeling better Molly. Don't be embarrassed by the amount of time you were on the machine, just be happy you got yourself to the gym and were able to do anything at all! Have you suffered any delayed after effects from it? I know if I were to do it, a couple of days later my hips would be a screamin'! So good for you!

Default Help with the buggies

My ultra flare months are April and late August. Each year I think it won't happen again or it couldn't get worse...but it does.

Now that summer is almost here, any suggestions on how to keep those pesky insects at bay? The mosquitoes just ADORE me...or maybe it is the scent of my fibro.(LOL) Anyone else find they are a favorite of the little fiends?

Gentle ehugs everyone, Carly

Hi Carly,
For the bugs -does adding more garlic to your food or a garlic supp help at all?

The bugs love me too. On Saturday I was outside and I was inundated by black flies! It seemed like no one else was swatting away the pesky critters so I must have looked pretty interesting flayling my arms all over!

I was told my granma on my dads side stayed in the bed!!
From the memories i have of her-she was always sick too!
She wasn't "in the bed" but said she didnt feel good all the time!
I have wondered if she had fibro too.
As for da bugs....Well don't wear perfume/scented body lotions when you know your going to be outside...
That will help.

Kelli....funny part is...I don't wear perfumed things (I am allergic) and didn't take a shower that morning considering I would be at a race track and get track dust all over me.
I have always attracted bugs...even when I was young. People with FM seem to attract bugs. In Devin Starlanyl's book even she mentions this as a common occurance. Strange stuff huh?
