Hello everyone
eNews is
different this week. I prepared it
before going on holiday so I would have a minimal amount of work to do when I
returned home. It is significant in that
it contains a number of useful links as well as a link to Simone/Fibromodem/Purple
Law Lady who nominated FMS eNews for the blogger award which features this
week.

WORDz FOR THE WEEK

to see the flowers that are blooming right at our feet.

The VERY INSPIRING BLOGGER Award
A couple of weeks ago I told readers of FMS eNews that I had been nominated for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. I felt honoured to be nominated. However, there are rules to be followed before being able to accept it, which are:
- Display the award logo on your blog.
- Link back to the person who nominated you.
- State 7 things about yourself.
- Nominate 15 other bloggers for this award and link to them.
- Notify
those bloggers of the nomination and the award’s requirements.

Do view Simone’s list of nominees and pursue
her links.
- Here goes with seven things about myself:
1)
I was
born in 1935 – I was 4 when WW2 began!
2)
I was diagnosed with FM in 2003
3)
I have been married for nearly 55 years and have
3 ‘children’ aged almost 52, 50 and 42.
4)
Besides writing FMS eNews each week I am leader
of a Fibromyalgia Support Group in Horsham, West Sussex, UK which meets twice
monthly.
5)
I enjoy creative pursuits which make good
distractions from FM and are therefore therapeutic.
6)
Through both work and holidays I have visited or
lived in over 30 countries.
7)
I am a Dame Grand Officer of the Order of
Knights Templar (no longer active in the Order because of age!)
4. Here are the 15 fibromyalgia sites/blogs that
I am nominating. They have all been
mentioned in FMS eNews in previous issues.
But this is a good way of reviewing
them. They all have embedded hyperlinks. They are in no particular order.
1) Managing Fibromyalgia – Pati Chandler
2) FibroMadness – Stacy
Hall
3)
Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue –
Adrienne Delwoo
5) Dr Gloria,
Your Health Detective – Dr Gloria Gilbere
7) Fighter
Zine - Jennifer L. Corter
8) Dawn’s Fibro Blog – Dawn
Santos
|
9) Chronic
Mom – Shelley
12) Fibro
LIFE BLOG – Meshea Crysup
13) Chronicles of Fibromyalgia – Leah
Tyler
5.
I have notified
all the writers/bloggers of their nomination and what is required of them.
Having fulfilled all the
requirements I guess I am qualified to accept the award. It will be displayed along with the FCK one at
the end of eNews for the next few weeks.
Can’t promise for ever!!

I will be back to
normal next week (I hope!) with new links and further information for you. Until then, keep good and stay warm! It was very cold in Devon this week but the
hotel was cosy and warm.

N.B. I would
like to point out to you that the information in my eNews blog is passed on to you mainly from other
sources. Links are given to the
original articles. I take no
responsibility for their accuracy but freely give them publicity if I think
they might be of interest to my readership.
Sites I refer you to are for
information only. They might conflict in their opinions, they might not
even be medically sound, but I merely offer them for you to peruse and make
your own judgements, accept or reject as you will. Only by reading widely
can we get an overall picture of fibromyalgia syndrome and how we can deal with
its symptoms, learn to cope with them and still have a life. Any advice or recommendation of a medical or
legal nature should always be discussed with a qualified professional.
I also include
various awareness items, benefits issues, as well as general health
considerations. Anyone wishing to
reproduce any of the included items in printed form should seek permission from
the originators.
Wordz for the Week
