Albuquerque Fibromyalgia support group turning
wounds into wisdom
They're zombies.
Maybe this joke should have been: In a zombie apocalypse how can you tell the difference between the zombies and the Fibro's? You don't have to:
Fibro's are the first one's getting bit by the zombies so. Fibro=zombie
Do you think a Fibro zombie would be slower or would it be faster since it can't feel pain?
Zombie life is starting to have some appeal.
You know what I don't get? Why when I'm thinking to myself -ok don't spill this cup full of coffee, and my body responds by hurling the coffee across the room. Yeah subtle brain, real subtle.
You know what else I love... When you respond fast enough to theoretically catch the cup you just tossed only to bitch slap it instead of actually catching it, which results in coffee not just on the floor but the ceiling too.
Wtf.
Hey everyone, we have an awesome meeting planned this month! Two guest speakers Nic Baker and Andy Miles from the newly opened Khoo Wellness Center will be coming to talk with us. They are very active in the research and treatment of Fibromyalgia and are eager to help expand resources for our Fibromyalgia community. Together we have come up with a few ideas and are excited to share them with you at the meeting.
Nic has starting his own Fibromyalgia support blog at fibrocircle.com and has a unique and refreshing perspective, his team has been working hard on a diagnostic tool and they are beta testing a new fibro quiz which he has published here: Fibro Circle: The Quiz
We are looking for some feedback at this meeting so we appreciate everyone who can make it this month.
See you there!

Hey everyone I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. I know this time of year is very exhausting so we will keep this months meeting simple. let's get together, enjoy each others company and do a little reflecting. I hope to see you all there.
Sometimes we have doubts about our Fibromyalgia diagnosis, or we think maybe there is more. It is important to keep informed and to trust your instincts because having Fibromyalgia isn't simple. Here are some disorders that can mimic Fibromyalgia, also a list of common symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia.
Happy Halloween! Don't forget our group is meeting this Tuesday November 3rd from 1-3 PM at the North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center.
I have heard a lot of stories recently about being misdiagnosed with Fibromyalgia or people believing their symptoms can't possibly be just that. Trick or treat? So this month I am going to put together a compare and contrast so that you can understand the differences between these disorders.
If there is anything you would like to share please bring it to group or email me about it.
See you on Tuesday!
I know it's a world filled with verbal land mines, things you should and shouldn't say and you can't always know what's right and what's not. I would say the basic rule is to try not to be insensitive. What that means to me is, listen. People will give you loads of clues when you are headed toward those mines, if you don't have any problem with gore then by all means go right on ahead.
Special thanks this month to Dr. Alissa Albers for coming out to speak with is about Atlas Orthogonal care and her practice; Well Balanced Chiropractic. We had a great turn out! Thank you all for showing up, for those of you who couldn't make it today I will do a recap on what Dr. Albers Shared with us.
Hey all just a quick reminder for our upcoming meeting on Tuesday October the 6th from 1–3 PM. at the North Domingo Baca Multicultural Center. This month we are having another guest speaker; Dr. Alissa Albers with Well Balanced Chiropractic. You have probably heard me talk about her in previous meetings, she's going to give us some information on Atlas Orthogonal work and how it relates to chronic pain.
Also, the renewal for our site and domain came through this week and Paula and I were a little shy so if you can give a donation this month it would be much appreciated.
Hope to see you all there!
