Hi there
This week I bought a new
laptop computer as the one I have been using is being reclaimed by FMSSAS. It’s Windows 8 – you can’t get any other kind
now – and it’s all totally foreign to me!
It’s a completely different system and it’s going to be a great new
learning curve for me. I haven’t changed
over to working on it yet, and I think that will take some time. Whatever else I do, I am going to have to
find a way to produce this blog on it!

WORDz FOR THE WEEK

Life really stinks sometimes and yet it can be beautiful, peaceful; it’s
the transition that’s so troublesome.

A New Type of Treatment
TVAM
(Transvascular Autonomic Modulation) is unique in that it goes beyond
treatment of the symptoms, affecting the CNS (central nervous system) directly
through manipulation of the autonomic nerve fibers that travel along the
jugular vein, improving overall autonomic function.
Patients with Fibromyalgia
also suffer from autonomic dysfunction, or dysautonomia. Symptoms of autonomic
dysfunction include fatigue, sleep disturbances, altered cognitive function (brain fog), thermal
intolerance, headaches, and bladder or bowel dysfunction. An ongoing scientific
study conducted at Synergy Health with a growing pool of patients with
autonomic dysfunction (over 600), has shown definitive results in favor of TVAM.

The Role of Magnesium in Fibromyalgia - An investigatory paper by Mark London
“This web page was the
result of my research regarding magnesium, and why it's important not only for the
average person, but especially for people with fibromyalgia. If you
aren't interested in reading lots of studies, and are already convinced of
magnesium's importance, then just click here to get to my
recommendations. Please note, magnesium is only one of many possible treatments
that can help fibromyalgia. It, by itself, cannot effectively treat it.”

A range of interventions
have been used for the management of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic
Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) in children and adolescents. Currently, debate
exists as to the effectiveness of these different management strategies. The
objective of this review was to synthesize and critically appraise the literature
on interventions for pediatric CFS/ME.

Living With Pain: Two Types of Coping
Chronic
Pain is a Form of Chronic Stress.
Living with pain presents all kinds of challenges in addition to the
pain itself. You may find work difficult or impossible. Your social life may
have been greatly reduced. Your roles as partner, parent, friend may have
changed in ways that are deeply disappointing to you. The activities of daily
living may have become difficult. You may find yourself trying many different
ways of coping with pain. As described by Jochen
Brandtstadter, coping efforts can be categorized as assimilative or accomodative.
Effective chronic pain management may require
knowing when to use each type of coping.

“Forget Fibromyalgia” by Rebecca Richmond
is not just about positive thinking, it is a complete self help programme,
that incorporates alternative
therapy techniques that you can do for yourself. Although
being positive is very important I know you can’t just be happy to make this
terrible curse go away. If it was as simple as that I would not have had severe
attacks during happy times – for example…

What
a great time we had at the 2013 conference. The group sponsored a race at the race night evening and how funny were
the racing pigs. It was so good to be surrounded by people from all over the
world all in the same boat. We had people from our group go this year, it was
great, informative information, socially we all had a laugh well looked after
and fantastic food. Well done Simon you did a great job at the conference. We
even won some medals and certificates.

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
