  WEEKLY FAVORITES Visit our store
Filmmakers Daneen Akers and Stephen Eyer take viewers into the world of a family living with fibromyalgia. It's a mother/daughter story, and along the way there are interviews with medical experts and other FM sufferers. It's a poignant look into this complex disease and an excellent opportunity for viewers to gain real knowledge about FM and those who live with it. Just as important, the film is a journey of hope.

  WEEKLY INSPIRATION
  
 "Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you
have their shoes."
- Jack Handey        


New Attitude, New Options
How many times have we said, "I can't do that anymore?" For some things this may be true; for others we don't know unless we try. In our early stages of learning to manage our pain...we were consumed by fear. When we tried to do something, the result was "I can't." We had found our safety net, a way of protecting ourselves. As we learn to manage our pain, we will better understand our limitations. Our attitude will shift from one of fear to one of "I might not be able to do that, but I'll try another way." With this change of attitude comes a change in options.

From Living With Chronic Pain One Day At A Time by Mark Allan Zabawa.
