OMG...I can't WAIT to try the coffee steam thing!

Every morning, my hubby and I have the same 'ritual'.

About 20 minutes after we wake up...we're both sitting at our computers which are side by side. We usually get a 'warm-up' on our coffee at about the same time then it's back to the computers again...so here's the plan,

The next 'warm-up' we have...back to our desks. Then instead of typing, I'm just gonna sit here and hold my coffee cup up to my face!!

LOL

This will be fun!!

Welcome Kaze! You will love this group! As for traveling, OUCH, I am usually so sore there are times when we stop, and I can barely get out of the car, I am hunched over, in so much pain. Luckily we dont go on many long trips anymore. Thank goodness!

Welcome again. If you normaly use a heating pad at home. try the heating patches when you are in the car traveling. for me they saves me when I was in a plane for hours then in the car for another hour. If you need cold wash cloths, put a few in a zip lock bag, then put them in the cooler with the ice, they get cold and stay dry and reuseable.

I don't know if I should start a new discussion or continue on this one. If I should have started new someone please let me know. I am still feeling my way around here.

I never knew that the achyness from a car ride was from FM. I just thought I had sat too long. I never knew that the puffiness in my face each morning was from FM. I thought I that had too much salt in my diet, even though I don't use salt, don't add it to any foods that I cook.

It is amazing the answers I have to question that I never knew to ask.

Thank you all so much.

Trudy

2 cats, I have only been on here for 2 days and I have learned more here than from any doctor. Not because they don't want you to know but because I think they just don't have the time and sometimes the knowledge...I think this is a great solution! Kaze

Welcome, very nice to have you here.

I have been a member for about a month or longer. I have made great friends and learnd so much from here. This place is wonderful for support and questions.

I wish that we had a doc that would come in here and read what fibro is really like.

my advice to you is just jump right in and have fun, learn and teach. That is what we are all here for.
