Curehunter is an interesting addition to our online toolbox. It’s a visual medical dictionary. Here’s part of what it gives me when I look up fibromyalgia:

I haven’t given up on this blog, either. Or even the long-missing podcast! I don’t know why I haven’t posted in so long, honestly. I’ve been in a very quiet time, but it’s time to leave the shell.

I have had more health problems, and I’m on more medications now. I’ve added a wheelchair to the walker and cane, and need an electric chair or scooter.

At the same time, I’ve constantly read things and thought, “I should post that to Fibrant Living.”

So I am, now. I hope some of you are still reading!

There are two other podcasts that I know of for “fibromites,” as one group calls people with fibromyalgia.

Betsy Singh-Anand is a nurse, and her medical background is reflected in her podcast Fibromyalgia Weekly. Her feed hasn’t been updated since March, but I hope she’ll be able to change that before too long. I encourage you to download her older shows, as they’re well worth a listen.

Juliann Krute’s podcast It Won’t Kill You gives an excellent view of what it’s like to live with fibromyalgia and other disabilities. She has presented some excellent information on the show in the past, but has been on hiatus due to “the everlasting sore throat.” I hope to hear a new podcast from her soon. Again, the shows she has done are very much worth hearing.

Fibrant Living owes much to these ladies’ work, as they helped me to know that there would be people interested in listening to a show about fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and other illnesses. Fibrant Living has a different “angle” than their shows, and has no intention of trying to replace either of them, of course! I’ll continue to subscribe to enjoy anything they put out, and I encourage all of you to do the same.

Namaste,
