Welcome to FibroDude's Blog!

Hey there --

This blog is for my strange friends who want to know more about my strange disorder, FibroMyalgia, and the particularly strange ways it affects my day-to-day life. Although it can be a royal pain (oh, no, puns already?), Fibro can also be pretty interesting. And yes, I feel strongly that a sense of humor is the best medicine, particularly in my case. 

Some of the stuff I post may sound a little scary/gross, but know that when I talk about it, it's not as bad as it sounds. Well, my nervous system may think so, but my brain knows better. That's the nature of Fibro -- well, part of it. The disorder affects people differently. In a way, I am lucky. Most people with it are more hindered by it. Many have pain to the degree that they cannot function. I get like that on occasion, but not frequently. With me, it's mostly bizarre neural miscommunications. My brain will, say, get the message that my foot is on backwards. I can look down and see that it is facing forward, but it still feels backward. Or upside down. Or missing. You get the idea. 

So, if you want to come along for the ride, I'll post some of the more interesting ones as they come up. If I don't post for a while, maybe I'm feeling normal -- whatever that is...
