Did you know that keeping a journal can be a great way to help your fibromyalgia treatment plan as well as symptoms seen in fibromyalgia? There are many different benefits to using journal therapy as part of your treatment. For one, you get the emotional benefit that comes from writing a journal. Fibromyalgia can be a very stressful condition and you may often feel like no one else understands your pain. Being able to write about this and express your emotions openly in a journal is a great way to release some of the stress.
Writing a journal will also benefit you because you are able to take notes to keep track of progress and changes in your condition. You will be able to remember to tell your doctor or therapist and regularly scheduled appointments and it also helps you keep track of what makes you better and what makes you worse.

the icarecafe would really like your help with a discussion on Fibromyalgia
As you many know the icarecafe has been set up to provide a space for patients, carers and their supporters online.
Some of the members have set up a discussion group on the subject of Fibromyagia. The group has asked lots of questions which are still in the process of being answered. So we thought it appropriate if we invited people from other Fibromyalgia discussion group and blogs to ask if they wished to participate.
To have a look at the discussions so far please have a look at

Please do feel free to join in the discussions and to post any information which might be of interest to our members.
If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch. I’m one of the moderators of the icarecafe and I can be contacted by sending and internal email to my profile.
Thanks very much in advance for your help!
Best wishes
