Fibromyalgia, yes, it is a pain-in-the-everywhere, as those of us who have it, call it. So what can you do for it? If you are like me, and have lived with it for a long time (17+ years) you likely have tried pretty much everything to try to manage your 24-7 pain levels. There is…

Always Love, Brenda

I have recently taken on learning ukulele and am totally enjoying being a beginner. LOVE being a beginner!
