Chronic pain issues - suggestions for coping with flares/brain fog
I have fibromyalgia, arthritis and chronic migraines. I seem to do well when I'm just dealing with my baseline of every day pain but the moment I hit a flare or more than a day of migraines (I can have 4-5 days at my worst), I default to old behaviours. I find it hard to get out to walk when it takes all my energy just to…

Anyone in South Africa?
My dad is living in South Africa - moved to Johannesburg last year - and I want to send him a Christmas present but don't really trust sending him something physically (besides shipping from Canada being prohibitively expensive). Is there anyone on here from South Africa? If so, do you know of any decent online stores…

When we started out in September, the kidlet would complain loudly and sort of drag her heels.…

Iron intake for daughter
I posted this in happy herbivores yesterday but didn't get any responses so I thought I'd repost here. I hope that's okay. (If there's a way to delete a post, I'll delete my one there but I couldn't find a way) I've been a lacto-ovo vegetarian for a few months now and my husband and 12-year-old daughter have eating…

Weird TOM NSV
I've just re-started MFP and of course the moment I did, along came my TOM. Normally I would let this completely derail me. Instead of just trying to soldier through, which has totally failed in the past, I let myself have whatever I wanted in moderation. Smartfood and chocolate are my huge downfalls so I ate Smartfood,…
