Fibromyalgia: HealthWomen host tons of new tips, including videos with Editrix Jenni Prokopy
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
Here's another fun look at how to live well with fibro. In this case, I'm talking about working well in spite of having chronic pain.
And ANOTHER video! Fibromyalgia: 5 Tips for Traveling Like a Pro
Am I spoiling you or what? HealthyWomen is the best, creating some awesome resources like this video full of travel tips for us Babes with chronic pain.
Expert Q&A: Parenting with fibromyalgia
My awesome doctor, Steven Stanos, DO, answers an important question about parenting and fibromyalgia.
Expert Q&A: Communicating effectively with your health care provider
And Dr. Stanos steps up again with terrific advice on communicating well with your doctor or other health care provider to ensure you get the care you need.
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
