by Jenni Prokopy, the Editrix

Babes, I've been so lucky to be part of a big new campaign by HealthyWomen (formerly the National Women's Health Resource Center) to educate women about fibromyalgia. I am thrilled to share the resulting resources!

A solid overview of the condition: fibromyalgia

This overview article has all the basics if you're newly diagnosed or know someone who has the condition and want to understand.

Fibromyalgia: First steps after diagnosis

This overview has some of my favorite pieces of advice for the newly diagnosed with fibromyalgia. And you know what? Those of us "old-timers" with fibro can learn a thing or two from this advice, too. 

A video: Fibromyalgia: 4 Tips for Healthy Living

This is the first of three videos I wrote and created with HealthyWomen and the whole project team. I think you'll love all the tips, which you can start using TODAY!

Another video: Fibromyalgia: 3 Strategies for Workplace Success

Expert Q&A: Fibromyalgia and sexuality

I wrote this a while back, but it's still very relevant. Sexuality and chronic pain (or any illness) is challenging, but there are some strategies that really work!

OK, that should keep you busy for a little while. I know it's kept ME busy (and I'm so thankful for that!). Enjoy, and let me know what you think

Love and respect, Jenni
