The Fibromyalgia Friends Support Group
Coping with a chronic illness, such as FMS, can be a long and lonely journey. Finding support is essential to our physical as well as emotional health. Often, when we need help the most is when we find it most difficult to reach out to others, but this is exactly what we must do. It is the act of reaching out, to help one another, that will enable us to cope most effectively. The journey then becomes a little less frightening, long, and lonely.

Coping with Fibromyalgia: One Man's Perspective - Update
When we first met Steve Lloyd he was an angry, bitter, and depressed man as a result of being forcibly unemployed, due to fibromyalgia and the lack of understanding of his previous employer. I thought it was time to check in with Steve again and find out how he’s getting along now, since his three-week pain management program, a little over a year later.

P.A.C.E. - A Prescription for Coping with Fibromyalgia
I have come to realize, after dealing with fibro for many years, and talking with fellow FMers, that the most important aspect of coping with fibro (managing pain and fatigue) is the concept of pacing. It is a skill, while often difficult to put into actual practice, that can be learned.
