bam001 I would love a road trip about now. If I could take off right now and have an entire week, I would head straight to the beach --Gulf Shores Alabama. I would pack lightly --maybe three outfits for 60 - 70 degree weather and a jacket. My laptop would go with me...

TessWhite @TessWhite (3146) • United States 15 Feb 09

I'm sure all of us who suffer from Fibromyalgia know what the term "brain fog" means. We get confused, forgetfull, sometimes down right dizzy. Lately I'm having even more of a problem with this than usual. I sit here to type and I...

bam001 I hate to respond this way, but as I was reading your post, the thought "at least it's not just me" ran through my mind. I hate that you are dealing with all of this. Fibromyalgia is one of those things that no one can really understand unless they also have...

bam001 I can't even start to imagine my life with that many kids. I think that number is going overboard in a huge way. From what I read, they are self-supporting. But, do the older children have to help with the younger ones? If so, they are missing out on a part of...

There has been a recall of peanut butter and its related products since last week. Does this one affect you? Not so much in our family since we are not that into peanut butter. We have it once in a while but it's not a regular...

bam001 The peanut butter scare has affected me to some degree. I like to eat the prepackaged Peanut Butter and Crackers and now I am told not to...or my favorite: "eat at your own risk." It has made me start planning my lunch and actually take the time to fix and...
