WELCOME
This blog has been created to offer information to those who suffer from fibromyalgia.
Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
