What do you need help with?
Welcome to Melissa vs Fibromyalgia! I’m Melissa, I help women with chronic pain and fatigue put self-care & wellness first.
Go from
- What are these conditions I live with to a solid understanding with management plans
- The push through model to the self-care model
- “Try to get better sleep” to practical deep rest strategies
- Stressed and overwhelmed to calming strategies
- Trying to do all the things to intentional efficiency
The rules
- We deserve a great quality of life
- The push through model didn’t improve our symptoms or quality of life
- The self-care model improves our quality of life and makes us better partners, parents, employees, caregivers – people contributing to this world
- Deep rest is a wonderful tool for self-care and can’t be employed too often
This corner of the Internet is for you to find what you need.
