Fibro product of the week

Living with Fibromyalgia and all of it's pain, fatigue and other symptoms is tough.

In an attempt to ease the burden for Fibro fighters we have asked all of those in our Fibromyalgia community to share what products have helped them most and I will be sharing them here each week at Fibro Product of the Week. I hope you find this helpful and don't forget to have a look at the other products featured.

I was so happy when I found this helpful little item. An Alaska Bear Natural Silk Sleep Mask. It really is silky smooth and not like any other eye mask I have experienced. My sister gave it to me for my birthday which might seem like a strange and practical gift but for someone who suffers from headaches and migraines it is amazing. She does too so she understands.

The thing about it is that it's so soft, actually super soft and has complete blackout.

So why use a sleep mask if you have Fibromyalgia? 
Many people with Fibro have sleep problems including difficulty getting into REM sleep.
 The hormone Melatonin regulates the day-night cycle of the human body and controls the recovery phases during the sleep. For the production of this hormone, the human body requires sufficient darkness. Lightness prevents the production of Melatonin. Even a little light caused by your digital alarm clock can be a disturbance. A good sleeping mask however will naturally help you increase melatonin levels and increase REM sleep.

Fibro Friday week 183

This week I have been interested to watch so many new videos on YouTube about Fibromyalgia at Miss Adventure's Channel, Living Creatively With Fibro and Julie Ryan's Channel. These 3 wonderful fibro bloggers have some interesting info that you can just sit back and watch. I hope you take some time to visit them and subscribe to their video channels.
I also hope you have a chance to join in here at the Fibro link up this week by leaving a link and visiting some of the other Fibro Bloggers that are linked up. You can view last week's link up here.

Fibromyalgia Product of The Week

The products recommended here every week are recommended by people who have Fibromyalgia. This week the product is something to make your time on the computer a little bit more comfortable a wrist support. I particularly like this one as it is made of soft and breathable memory foam. It's such a small thing but it makes a huge difference to your computer time especially if, like many people who have fibro (like me), you have carpal tunnel syndrome. This is a 2 piece set which comes with a wrist rest pad that goes across the front of the computer and a separate mouse wrist rest support.

I use both of these for work, as I use a desktop at work. They do not provide any type of wrist rest pads and my wrists were constantly hurting. I ordered these and BAM no more problems. I'm actually using this right now as I'm typing and I love how SOFT they are. MANDA PANDA

Great Size! I always seem to slide off other mouse pads of this type. Above the wrist pad, the shape is a large circle which gives you extra room to move around on the sides. Also, the bottom is grippy but can still be moved. My other mouse pads seemed to suction to the desk so they were hard to move around. I definitely recommend this.  MICHELLE

The good news is that this product is also the number 1 Amazon Best Seller in it's category. Not that you have to purchase it on Amazon (you can probable get it at your local electronic store) but if you do purchase it through the link below Fibro Blogger Directory receives a small percentage of the sale at no extra cost to you.
