Reading
I just finished reading Born in Death by J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts). It’s the latest in the Eve Dallas series and a good read. I took a break from The Star Scroll, part of Melanie Rawn’s Dragon Prince series, to read the Robb book. The series is good, and I enjoy Rawn’s writing, but I […]

Not that it’s news to those of us who have it, but it’s good to be validated! Fibromyalgia often has been misdiagnosed as arthritis or even a psychological issue.
