This is a posture correcting shirt that is designed to improve poor posture by offering support and retraining the body’s muscles back into the correct position. Read on for my Active Posture shirt review and to find out if I think using a […]
When I received my Fibromyalgia diagnosis back in 2013, it didn’t take me long to realise the benefits of using heat therapy for relieving my chronic pain. I soon became glued to my heat pad. Heat, for me, was relaxing, comforting and soothing.
I’ve been wanting to write this post for a couple of weeks but each time I start to write, I stop. I worry that if I write it, it will alienate me from you. I have been blogging about fibromyalgia ever since I got my fibromyalgia diagnosis in 2013. Recently, though, I’ve struggled to write […]
Guest post by Sheryl from A Chronic Voice My partner massaged shampoo into my hair as I hunched over in the bathtub, shivering with pain.

Because of CBD oil’s host of healing properties, such as a reduction in inflammation, pain relief, stress and anxiety relief, the plant compound is taking autoimmune sufferers by storm. Unlike THC, the compound best known in marijuana, CBD, is non-psychoactive. This allows you to use it anywhere without experiencing any high. Currently, everyone and their […]
I will happily admit that I’m a big fan of The Fay Farm products. Natural products, made by a family run business that work well for me. What’s not to love? Previously I have reviewed the ‘Warming CBD muscle rub’ and ‘Serenity CBD lotion’. The latter of which I have used regularly since writing that […]
Taking a long haul flight with Fibromyalgia can feel daunting. You may be asking, “does flying affect Fibromyalgia?” In my experience, it does. It’s, therefore, worth taking the time to prepare for flying with chronic pain to minimise symptoms as much as possible. In this post, I discuss pain management while travelling and share my […]
