My Story

I would like to introduce myself, I am Marilyn Wilson Price. I have Post-Traumatic Fibromyalgia which developed from a back injury on the job. I have made a website from scratch, which originated as an information letter for other patients at the physical therapy clinic I attended. I was a guinea pig for their program working with fibromyalgia patients. I was asked to relay what I had learned to other patients. Voila!! The bright idea came to me one day that I must start a website with health information:

www.fitnessbymarilyn.com

What better way is there to reach a lot of people!

It hasn't been easy for me, because if I spend too much time on the computer, I have a fibromyalgia flare up.

Well, I have come a long way and I am still learning everyday! My goal now is to share with those who are just starting out. Please check out my collections and feel free to contact me if I may be of further assistance.

How Basic Pilates Exercise Can Seriously Help You!

By Pilates Editor

One of the basics of Pi… Continue

My New Year's Resolution

My resolution for 2008 is to add POMEGRANATES to my diet! An ancient fruit which has been rediscovered!

Nutritional Benefits:

Pomegranates have very high content of punicalagins, a potent anti-oxidant component found to be responsible for its superior health benefits.

Amazingly, researches indicate that the capacity of anti-oxidant in this fruit is two or three times higher than that of red wine and green tea.

The level of anti-oxidant is even higher than thos… Continue

I Recommend: Exercise! Exercise! Exercise! Water Therapy is wonderful plus I received great benefit from Pilates. It really rehabilitated me. It is also nice to find a doctor who has fibro himself. I lucked on to one and there are many books written by doctors who have fibro. They do a lot more research if they have fibro themselves. Some of them work in university hospitals and can also put you in touch with programs to help with financial aid as well.

Marilyn,
Welcome to the community. I created this project while participating in a Landmark Education leadership program. Part of the program is to create a project that benefits the community. My wife was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few years ago and our lives were changed forever. When I had the opportunity to create a project that would make a difference I naturally thought of my wife and her struggles. This projecet is important to me and I want to see it grow and help others. Please let me know what I can do to help you and the community.
