Mine are often worse during the warmer months. I’m more stable during Fall, but migraines can still strike at any given moment and I can definitely tell when the pressure is changing. Does anyone else experience an upswing in their migraines once the weather starts getting colder?

Systematic Review Explores Psychological Aspects of Juvenile Fibromyalgia Syndrome
I legitimately believe that Fibromyalgia, for me, began around age six and progressively worsened in my late teens. I might never be able to prove it, but at least now, I know the signs so that future generations don’t have to suffer or be told they “just have growing pains”. I’ve been tested like a science experiment since I was eight and I do wonder at times if I’ve been misdiagnosed or if there’s more to Fibromyalgia than doctors will ever realize. It’s important to spread as much awareness as we can.
New Moon In Libra
Tonight is the New Moon in Libra. This is a time to find a real balance in our life physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. With the waves from the lunar eclipse still rippling through the atmosphere, it might be a good time to stand still, take a breath and center yourself.
With this New Moon you may be feeling irritated, misunderstood and have little patience for people, this can lead to arguments and upset. We may be initiating ourselves into a process of truly feeling all our wounds, pain, anger, and rage. Try to stay calm and weather the storm as it will pass in the coming days. Think before reacting too quickly, try to come from a place of kindness and understanding, keep away from negative thinking.
The Libra New Moon will give us a bolt of energy, so if things have felt sluggish and slow lately get ready as things will now start to shift and move a lot faster. Use this energy to get jobs done and to shift things into a positive direction. This will be a productive New Moon, with a promise that the scales of justice will be balanced and we will get what we deserve, whatever work we put in we will get in return.
Uranus will play a big part in this New Moon as Uranus is associated with sudden changes and revelations that are unexpected and can be very exciting, so be ready for some big surprises coming over the next few weeks. You can use the Uranus energy to bring on big changes and transformation. Get rid of the old clutter holding you back to make room for new opportunities coming your way.
The message of this New Moon is to find balance, knowing when to push and when to rest. Take a step back and look at everything more clearly. Now is the time to start clearing out junk, both in our homes, work, and in our emotional lives. Expel negativity and try to let go of any bad thoughts and feelings by looking at how to improve any situations rather than just complain about them. The Libra New Moon holds magical healing power. We are in a profound cleansing and clearing cycle. Allow the deep emotions emerging from the unconscious to be healed.
Have a blessed New Moon and may the Goddess watch over you.

Do You Know Why Doctors Refuse To Prescribe Narcotics To Fibromyalgia Patients?
This happened to one of my doctors after he wrote a patient a prescription for about five pills to get her through a move so that she’d have medication until she was able to see a new doctor. The DEA showed up at his office and threw a fit over it, claiming that it was a bizarre amount of medication, demanding to see his files, etc. You would have thought he’d written her a prescription for 500 pills the way they behaved! He was told that he could no longer prescribe anything outside what is considered “normal” for his practice. Since that day, he has been scared to write prescriptions for certain things unless he’s working at the hospital where things are scrutinized a little less and even then, it’s got to be a big deal for him to break out the different prescription pad. I find it incredibly sad that doctors are being told how to treat their patients instead of doing what they feel is in a patient’s best interest. Unfortunately, there will always be people who will abuse the medications that chronic pain sufferers so desperately need.
This article isn’t well written, but I thought I’d share it regardless.
