Counting My Spoons (Living with #Fibromyalgia)

Thanks in advance for watching and for your contributions. In my video below, I discuss what it means to live and cope daily with the numerous Fibromyalgia Symptoms. Especially, the effort it takes to manage an activity which might appear like a simple task but can become complex. A simple task for someone living with Fibromyalgia can lead to exhaustion, a trigger of symptoms plus much more...

Note: My video stopped halfway due to limited space on my phone. To be continued...
