Fibromyalgia Assessment - Living With Fibromyalgia?
Answer a few questions, and you'll get:
- Information about fibromyalgia for those who haven't been diagnosed
- Treatment options that best fit your symptoms
- Tips to help you cope with your symptoms and improve your life

What your next steps might be in treating your chronic pain.
More than 100 million Americans have chronic pain. If you're one of them, controlling it will likely require searching for treatments beyond medication.
That's because pain medication, while helpful, often cannot provide complete relief of pain. It may reduce but not eliminate pain.

Top 4 reasons you are sick
We live in an age where sickness is considered "normal". Allergies, migraines, digestive disorders, poor sleep, lack of energy, and muscle and joint pain are considered a part of life, and not indicative of any serious illness. How did we come to accept this as normal, and how did we get so sick that we have completely turned the paradigm of what is healthy completely upside down?

Stress and Your Health - What is stress?
Stress is a response to a situation which affects someone’s wellbeing. These situations could be physical, emotional or intellectual demands. It is at these times the body reacts in a ‘fight or flight’ mode by increasing production of the hormones adrenaline and cortisol. This changes heart rate, blood pressure and metabolism in order to improve performance.http://www.healthmonthly.co.uk/stress_health_article

20+ Natural Fibromyalgia Solutions Including The Gluten Free Diet
(Although this is included in the GreenMed list at the end * I have put it here in case you don't read Green Med Info as it is usually general health rather than fibro orientated. However, this one is specific to fibro so relevant to all fibro folk.)
Fibromyalgia, like most modern day 'syndromes,' is considered 'idiopathic' – a fancy word for "we don't know," and often times used as an excuse for not looking deeper into the root causes of the patient's suffering. Conventional treatment is palliative at best, and harmful at worst -- all the more reason why natural approaches are so greatly needed.
Thankfully, a significant body of research has accumulated on natural approaches to fibromyalgia that focus on dietary modification, avoidance of chemical exposures and the use of orthomolecular nutrition, i.e. vitamins, biological co-factors, minerals, etc.

N.B. I would like to point out to you that the information in my FMS 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 are from ‘Wordz for the Day’ by Donnie Kuhn, Sr. who died in May 2011.
