FMS eNews 28/12/13

Hello
Thank you to those of you who sent me good wishes through cards, ecards and emails for Christmas as well as throughout the trauma of my eye problem.  I really do appreciate your concern as well as your kind words about FMS eNews.
This is a minimal issue, as predicted, but enough to be going on with for now!
There are only three more days left of this year!  A new year dawns on Wednesday.  I sincerly hope that 2014 will be a good one for all of us.

WORDz for the WEEK

 148.  May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

My nose has been to the grindstone so much this month, it should be a tiny little nub by now. I'm beat! How about you?
See how you can get through what remains of the Christmas season without making symptoms too much worse. That's below.
Also this week, what ME/CFS symptoms contribute most to sexual dysfunction, and new evidence about muscle fatigue in fibromyalgia - it doesn't come from where you'd expect.
Down in Featured Articles, you'll find some posts that can help you navigate the holiday season a little better.
Take care of yourself, and have a Merry Christmas!

Don't Drink Alcohol Before Bed

 While alcohol may help you fall asleep faster, it deprives you of the quality sleep you really need.

 New studies Find Causes of Fibromyalgia

 Two new studies on fibromyalgia focus the problem on the thyroid, pituitary and hypothalamus, and suggest new avenues of relief for sufferers.
Research from the Fibromyalgia Research Foundation reveals deficient thyroid hormone regulation (DTHR) as an underlying cause of Fibromyalgia (FM). Poor diet, poor physical fitness and metabolism slowing drugs are primary contributors to symptoms as do additional hormonal imbalances of cortisol, estrogen and progesterone.
Another study, by Dr. John Lowe, Diplomat of the American Academy of Pain Management and Director of Research at the Fibromyalgia Research Foundation in the UK claims “indisputable proof” that the primary cause of fibromyalgia (FM) are with the pituitary gland or the hypothalamus.

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.
