Allow yourself to share your experience with this invisible illness and help yourself and others too. Share your tools, how you deal with everyday life, and gain access to information on Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome and Fibromyalgia (CFIDS/FMS). My mission is to empower patients to take control of their health by providing my own story and experience with treatment information, quality health products, community, and advocacy.

Visualize, Dream, Take Care of Yourself
WRITE DOWN YOUR DREAMS AND THOUGHTS AND VISUALIZE YOURSELF SUCCEEDING IN LIFE AND IN GREAT HEALTH.
Remind yourself of your blessings. Think of your happy memories, such as:
The day you were married
Quiet long bath
Pampering yourself
Sharing your faith
Lunch with a friend or family member
Your favorite time in a day or month or in your past
As you do these things, visualize your dreams, meditate and never forget to smile. Remembering your past experiences and how blessed you were to experience them can be very calming and create a smile on your face. Try it.
Try to discuss your hopes and dreams for your life with your partner, family member or friend. Remember to discuss your concerns and do not be afraid to share your thoughts with the people that are close to you. You might even try sharing those thoughts with strangers.
Think of a place and time where you can feel like you are comfortable enough to have these discussions.
THINGS TO DO FOR YOURSELF
1). Think about starting up or joining a class or group that discusses any topics you enjoy. Sharing and expressing is a great experience.
2). Create a list of what is wonderful about where you are, plans, losing your fears, getting older and what you like about yourself. Make an effort to do this daily.
3). Write down where you are at this point in your life and where you want to be, date it three or six months from that date. Place it in your calendar (when you want to open it), you will find that you have accomplished some of those dreams.
4). Write down your dreams and even cut out pictures from a magazine of objects, miscellaneous items and people that look happy. It might help you see what to aim for.
5). Take advantage of keeping a Personal Journal. I have found that I am more appreciative of what I have, what I have accomplished and where I am now. Take it to heart and be proud of yourself.
6). Consider changing your diet to fit your body’s needs...healthy eating and drinking water.
7). Check the different websites or magazines available to you with recommended diets for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue.
I hope and pray that this post has helped someone today.
