Here's a great post from my past (thanks for reminding me to reread it today):<br />http://xsarenkax.blogspot.com/2010/01/out-of-order.html<br /><br />I also shower in a particular order and have all sorts of routines for getting myself ready for whatever I do. My keys, meds, glasses, everything all have their designated areas and I strive to return them there as soon as I'm finished with them.<br /><br />It's not a fail-safe system, but with all the challenges of distraction, having routines down definitely minimizes on problems.Benia Zourashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471714153669700511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2980199463653928419.post-34722141843964077352010-09-15T20:59:50.626-07:002010-09-15T20:59:50.626-07:00Thank you Barbara.

In retrospect, it was the best thing that ever happened to me (yes, I'm serious!). I stubbornly refused Western medicine's "logic" of prescribing prescription meds that only added more symptoms. What Fibro sufferer needs more symptoms??? Anyway, long story short, I went on a holistic health journey and am now pain and symptom free.<br /><br />Regarding the subject of structure and patterns in your life, have you ever studied Ayurveda? It was one of the most important discoveries I made and completely helped turn my health around. http://www.fibromyalgia-support.org/fibromyalgia-treatments/fibromyalgia-treatment-ayurvedic.html<br />I am highly Vata, as are many Fibro sufferers and when I look back at my life it is all so clear! Check it out online or at the bookstore, it might change your life like it did mine!<br /><br />Be well.<br /><br />Warmly,<br />Barbara<br />http://blog.barbarasinclair.com/Barbara Sinclair Holistic Healthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195572865970537166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2980199463653928419.post-66033114667483107792010-09-13T20:51:13.849-07:002010-09-13T20:51:13.849-07:00Thanks for your comments ladies.Thanks for your comments ladies.Debbie Vermilyeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149947818063806242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2980199463653928419.post-12540050361326346262010-09-13T14:56:57.627-07:002010-09-13T14:56:57.627-07:00Great post.

And, with my holistic approach to my fibro, I find pattern and structure even more effective...you know how it goes... Monday's - yoga, Tuesday - massage, morning and evening - walk...and it goes on. Helps keep the brain fog away..even though my supplements are doing a good job of that these days. :-)<br /><br />Thanks,<br />MarieUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892012755540119907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2980199463653928419.post-87475625265457250722010-09-13T11:59:10.813-07:002010-09-13T11:59:10.813-07:00Deb,

I have been a Fibromyalgia sufferer for over 40 years. And my memory is peeling off like an onion.<br /><br />Even though I have always been an organized person myself, I find myself forgetting practically everything in sight or out of sight; never leaving the house without having to come back once or twice. Even if I make to-do lists, I forget where I put the list. I charge my cell phone then I leave home without it. Going somewhere with a purpose in mind and on my way there forgetting the purpose. The only advantage to this sad situation is that it keeps me fit for I have a three-story house which forces me to go up and down stairs about 50 times a day. Not good for my knees or my back but good cardio. Which proves that every bad thing has a silver lining, small as it may be.<br /><br />I will try to borrow some of your ideas in the hope of salvaging my sanity.

Then we head to Tim Horton's for brunch. AFter that we come home and if she is tired she takes a nap. Then I teach what lessons I have for the day, check the computer, make dinner, and we watch TV before heading to bed. Pretty much the same everyday. Kind of boring at times, but hey, it's better than the stress I was under when we were losing the store.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18184342717608985185noreply@blogger.com
