By now, you know I am not here how to tell you how to get rid of Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome, or whatever Chronic Illnesses you deal with. Since I've been ill, there are more people talking about how to manage our illnesses, giving out comfort and encouragement, and wanting to have a dialogue than I have ever seen . The internet has been a blessing in that regard. However, that doesn't change that it is up to each of us to manage her health, even when she gets exhausted. If you are at the point you can no longer care for your own needs, you may get assistance; but for most of us, we still have to keep track of our daily routine.
And so, the balancing act goes on -- pacing ourselves, keeping track of our medications and supplements, as well as facing each day with fatigue and pain that never entirely goes away. Some days are better and other days, we wonder how we can keep going another day. Most of the topics I write about come out of my own experience and a few I have caught as I read, so I pass them on. Today's topic is something I need to work on.

A warning about medication and supplements is necessary, because small children are apt to be curious. Please keep medication and supplements out of the reach of your children and grandchildren. Some people even keep them in locked boxes. Since our grandchildren do not live near enough to be here often, I put them in a place that is out of their reach when they visit. When we visit them, I am also careful to keep medications out of their reach.
