Hello, and welcome to the first post at the new "Fog Blog" newly relocated from Yahoo 360*! This blog has helped me stay sane for several months now and I have struggled to work with it on Yahoo but was so limited as to what I could do it became very frustrating. So, after trying out several "blogging places", I have settled here. I had a little difficulty in finding a template to match and will attempt to upload my own at a later time, but for today, it will serve as it is.For those of you who have been reading the blog, you know that I have had a very difficult time, being too sick to work and waiting for an answer to my SSA disability application while having no income to support myself. Well, the verdict is in and yes, the disability was APPROVED! Yes, folks believe it or not, I actually received an SSA Disability approval the first attempt, and within 4 months of applying! I, myself, can hardly believe it! The bad news? SSA has a 5 month waiting period so I am not elligible to receive benefits for another month, which means that I will not reveive my first check until late May. (I know, sigh) But at least it was approved and soon I will be getting the money I need.
The FM has calmed down some, mostly due to lessening of stress, since I got the approval notice. For those of you who have FM, please be aware that stress is an aggravating factor. I was taking my methadone up to 4 times a day just prior to getting my decision and for the past three days, have only taken it two to three times daily. Also, I don't feel the need to blow my brains out either, which helps. LOL!
I had the pleasure of taking part in a webinar sponsored by the Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Center yesterday and for those who missed it, you can listen to the archived webinar HERE and view a very well presented slide show of the webinar HERE. Although these things are always an advertisement for the center's program, some very good information about FM was presented and is worth watching and listening to. I hope you will take advantage of this information being available and that it is some help to you.
As a means for supplementing my income, I dabble in affiliate marketing, some of which is on the fibromyalgia website in the form of shopping for items such as Awareness Jewelry and other things. I hope that you will visit the website and if you find that it is helpful to you, please support the site by visiting the shopping page, clicking on sponsor links for traffic, etc. These methods help me to keep the site hosted as it is not a freebie. I am not some web guru trying to scam anyone out of their hard earned cash, just someone who is trying to help others like myself and not go into the poor house in doing so. My site visitors actually support the site through these methods so please be generous as I work very hard to provide the best resources for FM that I can find.
In addition, I have also started a NASCAR Site called, NASCAR at Mission Beach that I hope will be very successful! If you are a NASCAR fan, (and who isn't?) be sure to check it out. I have teamed up with some of the best merchants offering licensed NASCAR merchandise and you will be sure to find something that you just can't live without! Please see this and other shopping links to the right where you can find great items at affordable prices while helping out an affiliate such as myself!
Well, that is it for today. As always, I will keep you posted on all the FM info I can find, as well as marketing and SEO. I hope you enjoy the blog and return again!
Thank you for visiting my Blog! Please share this with anyone you know who has Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome!
