Having an chronic syndrome like Fibromyalgia can leave you feeling many emotions including scared, frustrated, and confused. There is so much information out there that it can all be overwhelming, but Lifescript.com can help. Lifescript.com is a website that helps to inform people about various conditions including fibromyalgia syndrome. It took me many years and several doctors to finally figure out what was causing all my symptoms including widespread aches and pains and debilitating exhaustion. For years my doctors dismissed my concerns and seemed to brush me aside. I was exhausted all the time and felt like I was in a permanent “fog”. I began to feel like it was all in my head. Then I heard about Fibromyalgia and it all clicked. As soon as I brought it up to my primary care doctor he ran some tests and agreed that I indeed had Fibromyalgia. What makes Fibromyalgia so hard to diagnose is that it has many different symptoms that can all seem unrelated and can look different for each patient. I am now seeing a rheumatologist and I am trying to get on the right track to feel some relief. It is a scary road but finding as much information as I can on Fibromyalgia helps ease my mind and make me feel more in control.

Lifescript.com has become a great resource to me in my quest for more information because it has lots of great articles about chronic fibromyalgia including various treatments of fibromyalgia. Lifescript.com provides medical information, tips and advice that are all written by professional health writers, experts and physicians. It offers lots of great tips on clearing the “fog”, managing fibromyalgia with diet and exercise, finding support for fibromyalgia, and an important one for me, tips on losing the guilt of living with fibromyalgia while trying to be a good parent to my 2 daughters. One tip that really stuck out to me is “Put your own oxygen mask on first”. I can’t be a good parent if I don’t take care of myself first and it is so true. As moms we tend to put everyone else first but with fibromyalgia I have to remember that I need to take care of myself so I CAN take care of my family. Reading the articles on fibromyalgia on Lifescript.com really helps me feel like I am not alone. There are lots of personal stories that I can relate to and it’s nice to know that other women out there are feeling the same way I am.
If you have chronic widespread pain, exhaustion, a general “foggy” feeling, or any of the other fibromyalgia symptoms, make sure to check out the information on fibromyalgia and ask your doctor if you could have fibromyalgia syndrome. Just know that you are not alone. Visit www.lifescript.com for useful information on Fibromyalgia and other prevalent medical conditions related to women’s health. Have your own fibromyalgia story?

While you are there, keep an eye out for Chuck E. Cheese to make an appearance. He comes out to dance with the kids and then gives out tickets. They also have a cool, new way to take your picture with Chuck E. Cheese, their new app. Install the app to your smartphone or tablet. Then find the special signs around the restaurant. Open the app and point your phone to the sign and Chuck E. Cheese will magically appear. Click the camera icon on the app to snap a picture with Chuck E. Cheese. So cool!
The double-sided LeapFrog Dry Erase & Chalk Board has both a white dry erase side and a black chalkboard side. It comes with 1 dry erase marker and 2 sticks of chalk plus a convenient pouch to keep it in. I love the versatility of this fun board. It is 8.5″ x 11″ so there is plenty of room for my girls to write messages, draw, or whatever they want. They especially like playing school with this board and giving each other problems to complete.
LeapFrog also has a line of washable dry erase markers. WASHABLE! As a mom, that is important to me because I’ve had clothes stained from regular dry erase markers that don’t wash out. My girls aren’t exactly neat so I like being able to give them washable markers so I don’t have to worry what they get the markers on. And they love the bright colors of these markers.
I love keeping these multiplication and division flashcards in the car with us so my older daughter can practice her math skills when we’re out and about, waiting for a doctor appointment, or just have some time to kill. The cards are double sided and durable which I like because my little one will be using these soon, too.
Out of all the LeapFrog items we were sent to review, I think my girls like the Play Money the best. They use it with a pretend store. One shops and the other one pretends to be the cashier. I love how they practice their money skills without realizing it. They just think they’re having fun. With 204 pieces to count, sort, and identify, this set keeps my girls busy. And I love that it includes suggestions for games and activities to help reinforce money concepts.
