Living with Fibromyalgia

Posted on February 19, 2009 @ 12:55 pm

One of the biggest challenges that I have seen someone deal with is living with Fibromyalgia Syndrome.  You see, my father was diagnosed with it just a couple of years ago, and it has really had a profound effect on his life.

I think the biggest challenge that he has had to deal with is the changes that he has had to make to his life.  Instead of being able to live his active life that he has been used to, he is now faced with the possibility that he will never be able to live as carefree as he used to.

Though he has tried a number of Fibromyalgia treatments but most of them haven’t been very effective.  Changing his diet has helped somewhat, but he is looking forward to talking to some specialists about other things that he can do.

But I do admire his strength and courage when it comes to fighting his condition – I don’t think Fibromyalgia will conquer him.
