J.Brady looking for answers.

I have been living(sort of) with what "they" refer to as chronic pain. I've been told I have fibromyalgia, spondylosis, an autoimmune disorder(nonspecified) and that I am mentally ill (clinical depression, bi-polor, add, G.A.D. and chronic pain.)

Ways of getting my mind off the pain

I have a few different ways of trying to get my mind off of my pain, but I'm getting bored with them. Anybody have any new ideas? I read a lot.

help with fibromyalgia pain

I have 2 kids that have fibro., and 1 of them went vegetarian. It has totally helped them and the pain she was in is almost completely gone.
