Today, I want to discuss mindfulness and meditation for Fibromyalgia (and other chronic illnesses). I’ll be sharing the definitions and benefits of mindfulness and meditation. Plus, I’ll describe how to easily incorporate both of these practices into your everyday life.
Recently, I was given the opportunity to try organic turmeric capsules* and bio-fermented liquid turmeric* from a company called Turmeric Vitality. The opportunity came at a time when I was considering adding in supplements to help with my digestion and overall wellness. This article is for informational purposes only and is not intended as medical […]
In October of last year, I packed my bags and headed to a clinic called Infusio in Frankfurt for two weeks of Lyme Disease treatment. I received various treatments for Lyme Disease whilst in Germany, including numerous IVs, ozone therapy, lymphatic drainage and massages.
Sleep is something that most of us living with chronic illness will struggle with at times. After all, poor quality, disruptive sleep is a core symptom of illnesses such as Fibromyalgia, Lyme Disease and ME/CFS. Which is frustrating because consistently getting a good night’s sleep is one of the most important factors in improving our symptoms. […]
A few weeks ago, I was at the opticians for an eye exam and I was asked about my health history. I always find this a little challenging as I don’t like talking about my Lyme Disease diagnosis. Mostly because I still find it upsetting to think about (given that I became so sick).
Today, I want to chat about supplements for gut health. More, specifically the Vital Plan Gut Revival Kit*: a gut health protocol that I recently started. The Vital Plan Gut Revival kit is a holistic protocol for healthy digestion, detoxification and microbiome balance. If you have followed my blog for a few years, you will be […]
If you are new to my blog, my name is Donna and I have lived with Lyme Disease, Fibromyalgia and CFS for a number of years. I had stem cells for Lyme Disease at Infusio, Frankfurt in 2017 and have been documenting my progress on this blog. Find all of my posts about Infusio here. […]
Can you believe that it has been six months since I received my stem cells at Infusio? I thought now would be a good time to write an update on how I am doing. My last update was a few weeks after my ACT treatment that I had back in February.
Read all of my Infusio posts here. Prior to heading back to Germany for my follow-up at Infusio last month, I spent a bit of time going through my journal and jotting down how my symptoms have changed since receiving stem cells. I appreciate that those who are looking into stem cell therapy at Infusio like […]
I was fortunate to be given the opportunity to write an Oska Pulse review. I have been intrigued by the device ever since I first heard about it last year. It sounded too good to be true and I was curious to know if the Oska Pulse truly worked for Fibromyalgia pain.
Hands up if you have Fibromyalgia and have been told to supplement with magnesium? Yep, me too. I’ve been taking magnesium supplements for a few years now and, I’m not alone; many people take magnesium for Fibromyalgia and have reported benefits from doing so. But, have you ever wondered why magnesium is so important?
Back in March, I took a trip down to Breakspear Medical to see my Lyme doctor. The reason was to speak with him about a change of plan (since I was having a difficult time with antibiotics) and to do some further testing that he felt would be beneficial. The appointment went well and it […]
A few weeks ago, an email popped into my inbox that had me intrigued. I was asked if I would like to review a device called the Body Clock iTENS. The Body Clock iTENS is a portable TENS machine that offers drug-free pain relief and works with Bluetooth technology. The bit that really caught my eye […]
Pain is a hallmark feature of Fibromyalgia and is also a symptom of many other chronic illnesses. I have personally lived with chronic pain for a number of years now. Admittedly, it is one of the symptoms that I have found the most challenging to manage. This is because pain is very variable. It […]
