How To Fenghsui My Fibromyalgia

Asalumlakum(May Peace Be On You) and Hi To All My Fengshuiers!!!!!! It has been a lil minute since I have even checked in with all of you guys and although I hated to do it, it was very necessary for change and growth in my personal and professional life, I would say romantically as well, but I am just not there yet there:). I had to step back from My Baby, My Blog The Fenghshui Brand to Rebrand, Recharge, Regroup, Relax, Rest, and Repair. I left my job of 3 years as a Behavioral Health Technician in May 2024, Started College to Finish My A.A., and Moved into a new Apartment in a different area. Here in Florida at that time, there were 2 Hurricanes that affected my area in 2024 and I felt it best to step away from The Fengshui Brand to fully focus on all the changes going on at that time.

I had planned to discuss that I had Fibromyalgia since I was a child, but only diagnosed in my early 30’s after years of complaining about certain aches, pain, and sensitivities before I left online, but after the storms things got hectic and busy in my real life that I forgot. Since at the Fengshui Brand I speak on my life experiences from child to adulthood, I feel its only fair to tell My Fengshuiers what it is like dealing with a Chronic Illness that affects how I deal with environments and people and what it is and what it feels like having Fibromyalgia Symptoms that range from my head to my toes.When I was 3, I went through a horrible trauma that no child should experience and go through, and I believe that is what caused me to have Fibromyalgia that started showing up at age 12 after I had started my Menstual Cycle in the form of sensitivity to touch. At that time I began to have Flashbacks of My 3-Year Old Trauma and new Trauma had began at age 9-16/17. If anybody gently touched me, it felt like I was punched. I always had heavy periods and that is another symptom of Fibromyalgia that eventually led to me having Fibroids, that were only discovered in 2020 after a 6 month search of why my Menstrual now was 30+Days long and Emergency Surgery in January 2021.

Fibromyalgia is different for everyone and before I was diagnosed, I started having Anemia, Headaches and High Blood Pressure and Teeth Grinding/T.M.J. that caused excruciating Earaches and only relieved when I have certain Prescription Filled Eardrops. I get extremely exhausted and tired sometimes and have only had a normal sleep pattern that others may take for granted that started at 31 after leaving certain stressful environments and stressful for no good reason behind. Inflammation and Weight Gain is another one, especially when I decide to start medications in my 30’s after they were suggested by My Counseling Team. Depression is another factor that can come to play as well and so many other symptoms that I have experienced including eyesight and vision changes.At 30/31 in 2013/2014 I decided that I was going to get to the cause of my symptoms that always seemed to be worse in the Summers since 2008 when I would be stuck in bed with only enough energy to bathe and shower and drink and eat and lay back down in bed until My Body and My Mind decided enough was enough an then magically, I would come out of whatever it was and resume my normal activities like nothing happened. I was already on Disability so I did n not have to go to a job so this made this highly possible. In Summer 0f 2013 after being bedbound and having lack of sleep, I decided I was going to fight my way out of whatever was keeping me physically exhorted.

I started changing My Diet eating more Fiber like Oatmeal, Adding Eggs for Protein with Spinache, and Cooking with Fresher Ingredients, and eating Baked Fish which was not something I enjoyed as a child. I was always a Water drinker so that was not a problem, and I maintained a good balance of hydration until I decided to try Cymbalta/Duloxetine in 2018. I added more fruit and vegetables to my diet like Bell Peppers, Onions, and Tomatoes which I despised as a child and found easy to make recipes on DivasCanCook.Com(Shoutout to Mrs.Monique). I also decided that I needed to get more active, although when feeling good I would do at least 10 laps on the Recreational Park Track Field at night before bed listening to music. A Free Outside Gym had just opened up close by my house at the time at another Recreational Park and I decided that every morning I would go there for 5 days out the week to do some Cardio for 30 minutes excluding the 10 -15 minutes it took me to walk there. I did not drive to get in even more exercise. Also at the time an Intake Counselor at where I go for Counseling had started suggesting that I cut off physical contact with and start telling mainly my immediate family no. He was right because I had become their punching bag as a child with their actions and jokes and ignoring and picking at my feelings and looks as well as A.T.M./Bank and someone they dumped and projected on that carried over into adulthood because family is family regardless and they often abused my boundary respecting and caring nature and positive demeanor and disposition. I also started trying Yoga on Sunday mornings at The Salvador Dahli Museum.

This Lifestyle Change started to make a heck of alot of difference, but my environment was being made unstable by a family member who’s relationship to me I should leave out, not to protect the abuser and female predator, but just because I feel like her/their abuse and negtivity was giving enough attention in the 6 years I was consistently around them, under the same roof or not. I finally got up and moved to a small city 200 miles away in April 2014 after My Dad’s Celebration Of Life for a change and although another family member who’s relationship to me will also be ommitted wanted to trauma bond by way of alienation and withholding affection and sabatoge,I decided that i would not let this female who promised to be an emotional support when I came to the city behavior overshadow my fresh start. I will say that Nature took its course and sometimes Karma has a certain way of settling the score and keeping a tally of any misdoings to a naturally caring, genuine and innocent and pure hearted independent and emotionally and mentally stable individual like me.

As I type and write this T.F.B. Blog Post, I am having a Medium Flare-Up t is being caused by things I have no and some control over pertaining to my living space and the people I don’t and won’t allow in that space. I already had a Mid Mornig Counseling Appoitment with My Peer Support Specialist and He and I discussed everything going on in my life currently, bad and good, negative and positive and healthy communication is alas a must ANYTIME, but especially during a Fibromyalgia Flare-Up. I am going to hydrate with Cold Water because that helps by staying hydrated, take a nice bath/shower and wash and condition my hair because I like My Dad like being clean from head to toe EVERYDAY unless necessary due to discontinuing of My Fave Hair Products and or Protective Hairstyling for My Natural Coily Curly Wavy Hair that I owe to My Dad Darius/Morris Sr., find some Fibromyalgia Friendly clothing out of My closet/wardrobe which is always a must when dealing with a Fibromyalgia Flare-Up, and then will head to dinner at 1 of My Favorite Bars or Eateries close by my apartment for a Clean Atmosphere, Drinks and Food, Good Vibes, Familiar Faces, and Privacy.

Later Fengshuiers, I Love You and As Always Be Caring, Be Gentle, and Be Understanding to Each 1 Of Your Own Different And Individual Needs And Self-Care Because 1 Size Does NOT Fit All. In Fengshui Love And Peace, Privacy, And Zen-Amanda.
