Travel and fibromyalgia–from everything I heard and knew before I moved to Italy, travelling was something that I probably wouldn’t be doing a lot of because of the potential negative impact it could have on my body.
Still, I decided to do it. 😉
In these videos, I talk about my decision to move to Italy, how I prepared and what I have experienced while living in Rome and dealing with my fibromyalgia symptoms.
Thank you for watching! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me! 🙂
Until Tomorrow?

HI Diedre, I am a fibro sufferer as well and am wondering about living part of the year in Italy. Do you have suggestions ? Patricia Vadine
Hi, Patricia! Thank you for writing! I think living for a part of the year in Italy sounds great. I would suggest during the spring to early summer periods. January to March tends to be rather damp and cold. Late July through to the end of August is quite hot and miserable. September through October is quite nice, but in Rome you’ll have to deal with the onslaught of the starlings. If you let me know what periods you were thinking, then I could give you a more specific response. 🙂 Thanks for writing again!
Hi Diedre,
I suffer from fibromyalgia and am traveling to Rome in September. Since we are staying in hotels and eating out at restaurants, will I find enough food to eat in order to stay on my fibromyalgia diet?
Thanks, Kathy
Hi, Kathy!
Yes, I believe you should be able to find what you need. Italy over the past decade or so has really increased its awareness of food sensitivities. For example, you can find gluten-free pasta, pizza, gelato, etc. in restaurants and supermarkets. I don’t know what your exact diet is, but I believe you will be okay. Please, be mindful that many dishes do contain nightshades. So, if you are sensitive to them, then please do your research on your chosen restaurant beforehand! Enjoy your time!
