Beverley has been blogging at Blooming Mindfulness since 2016. She has many chronic illnesses including Fibromyalgia, anaemia, chronic fatigue, depression and general anxiety disorder. Despite all of these, and being a carer, she has a very positive outlook. You can catch up with her through the many lovely videos she has created chatting about her life as a disabled vintage witch!

I blog about my experiences and give tips and tricks to help and inspire other disabled people. I also hope to raise awareness and compassion from able-bodied people wanting to educate themselves.

I hope my posts and videos help you, but I am not a doctor and though I trained as a nurse I cannot give personalised help and advice. 

Here are some of her fibromyalgia related posts:

• How to self soothe when life seems totally overwhelming.
• Let's talk about Mobility Aids.
• Frustration with Fatigue.

Helen blogs at Living whole: Neurodivergent lived experience with a side order of chronic health. As well as Fibromyalgia, POTS, Autism and ADHD and Ehlers-Danlos hypermobility she writes about being a highly sensitive person and...

what it is like to live as a neurodivergent adult female with chronic health conditions whilst trying, very hard, to impart some of the breakthroughs and many positives of increased self-understanding that have come out of the journey.

I aim to offer is a resource comprised of relatable experiences and clues in the dark for other people exploring their health status as I have had to do…and, in fact, as all of us with chronic conditions such as ME/CFS are forced to do for ourselves given these conditions are still so widely misunderstood, stigmatized, under-researched and generally swept under the carpet.

Her fibro related blog posts include:

• Weighted blankets revisited. 
• Cervical instability at the core of Fibromyalgia 
• “You’re looking really well”: The curse of the invisible disability

Susan's blog is Living Creatively with Fibro where she has been blogging to help others understand more about Fibromyalgia and share the creativity that helps her in her life.

In 2016, I started the blog “Living Creatively with Fibro.” The first reason was to chronicle my journey. Then as time passed by I realised that there was so much that was unknown or misunderstood about Fibromyalgia. Even within the medical community. So I wanted to help the “Spoonie” community get the word out.

Although I write quite a lot about Fibromyalgia and Spoonie Life. That does not define me, and so I write about how I live with Fibro too.

Her fibro blog posts include:

• Adaptable Working When you have Fibromyalgia
• Fibromyalgia and Itching
• Complex Sleep Problems and Fibromyalgia

Focus on Five

Rob and Bridget are chronic illness and disabled travel bloggers from the United Kingdom. Between them, they have a large "collection' of illnesses including fibromyalgia, sleep apnoea, and rheumatoid arthritis. Their blog The Bimblers is about living in the slow lane and finding accessible travel. 

 

"When you travel with a disability, there is more to picking a holiday destination than finding out where the best beach is or what the nightlife is like. Yes, these are important, but so are the more practical things as well."   

 

10 Free and Accessible Things to do in London and Accessible Guide to the UK’s National Parks are just two of their many helpful and indepth articles. They talk all about inclusive travel and chronic illness on their Facebook page and Twitter feed.

 

Lynne Said helps women reduce the pain, fatigue & fog of fibromyalgia, build their confidence and get their lives back. She is a qualified NLP Master Practitioner, OldPain2Go Practitioner and Health Coach, a member of the Complementary Medical Association, and a member of the Association for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2014 and blogs at The Healing Within Fibromyalgia. She has many posts there including I Left When Fibromyalgia Arrived and How to Reduce Fibromyalgia Pain.

 

"There's no cure for fibromyalgia at this time but that doesn't mean we can't have a quality of life! Focusing on the core of what supports good health rather than trying to play whack-a-mole with symptoms and flares is the way forward." 

 

Her Facebook page is full of helpful suggestions to support healing. 

 

 Cynthia Covert was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and endometriosis between 2001 and 2004.

These are the days when it only can get better." 

 

Bettina has an interview series with people living with fibromyalgia, like Nikki and Alisha and also translates some of her fibro articles into German to help a wider audience. Of course, I would be remiss to not mention her beloved dog Scotch who she shares photographs of on Facebook, and her love of the show Supernatural which she often tweets about.  

 

  

Joanna Orgovan has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. She is a certified coach who believes that getting better from Fibromyalgia starts with your mindset. Her blog - But You Look So Healthy - focuses on natural techniques to treat and live with these conditions.
