Ep. 98 "Having fibromyalgia is like living between two bookends on a narrow shelf" Lynn's story.

This is the last of 3 interviews from listeners of the podcast. Lynn from Minnesota shares her journey. Here is some of what she had to share.
"It's that whole moderation aspect or the balance aspect. I used to joke that having fibromyalgia was like living between two bookends on a narrow shelf.  It sounds limiting, and I don't mean to make it sound that way, but I have found that I must be so intentional.   I pay attention to everything. 
Fortunately, I have a disciplined personality, which works for me.
You also commented about the brains of fibro people sometimes coming alive at nine o'clock or at the end of the night. And I went, yes. I was yelling out while listening to that. So again, that was just another example of something new that I had learned. When I heard your podcast, it was more like, Wow.
Here's a doctor that pays attention, that cares. And here are the stories of these other people. I'm truly not alone. And then hearing what other people have done for success.  So often mimicking what I've already learned, but it was confirmation that I had approached things in a good way, and I knew that."
But just to hear and have that, I guess connection with other people is something that is lacking when you are just living in an environment where all your peers or family members are totally healthy.  It's that sense of hope."
