From Adrienne Dellwo, your Guide to Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
We've had a vague idea of where the abnormal pain types of FMS and ME/CFS came from, but scientist may be closer to the exact source - and it could be related to immune-system activity. That's below.Also this week, help for those wrestling with whether or not to tell the boss about their chronic illness, plus a look at disability stories from your fellow readers.
Down in Featured Articles, you'll find some good basic information to learn or review.

| Dr. Martinez-Lavin |
A Mexico City doctor and researcher, Dr. Manuel Martinez-Lavin, has been studying and treating people with Fibromyalgia for over thirty years. In a 2009 paper he proposed two pathways for Fibromyalgia. Dr. Martinez-Lavin has been treating people with Fibromyalgia for over thirty years One suggested that over-activation of the sympathetic nervous system fibers (sprouting) left nerve cell bodies called the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) in a hyperexcitable state. The last way stations for sensory input from the body before it reaches the spinal cord, Martinez-Lavin believes these nerve bodies are overloading the spinal cord with pain signals. He also proposed that increased activity of the sodium channels that transmit pain signals in the DRG could be present.

What is Migratory Arthritis?
pain in the grainThis condition falls under the auspice of autoimmune arthritis. Patients who experience migrating arthritis typically have joint pain and stiffness that moves around from joint to joint. Unlike other forms of arthritis that typically stay in one place. The symptoms can flare up periodically (come and go), and they can migrate to different locations throughout the body – hence the term migratory.

Juvenile fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep and mood issues.
Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals.
Fibromyalgia is commonly thought of as a condition that affects adults. However, fibromyalgia also occurs in children and adolescents. Estimates suggest that juvenile-onset fibromyalgia affects 2 to 6 percent of school children, mostly adolescent girls. It is most commonly diagnosed between ages 13 and 15.

Hypnosis
Hypnosis, also referred to as hypnotherapy or hypnotic suggestion, is a trance-like state in which you have heightened focus and concentration. Hypnosis is usually done with the help of a therapist using verbal repetition and mental images. When you're under hypnosis, you usually feel calm and relaxed, and are more open to suggestions.

How Childhood Trauma Affects Adult Health
Do the aftereffects of traumatic events we suffered as children follow us into adulthood in a physical way? Research about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) proves that enormous childhood stress absolutely leads to increased potential for adult illness and disease. The original Adverse Childhood Experience study (conducted from 1995 to 1997) examined the link between childhood trauma and the likelihood of developing medical conditions as an adult. A collaboration between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Kaiser Permanente’s Health Appraisal Clinic in San Diego, the study canvassed 17,000 Health Maintenance Organization patients willing to offer extensive information about childhood experiences of neglect, family dysfunction, and abuse. More than half the study respondents reported at least one category of childhood trauma, and a quarter of them reported more than two.See more at: http://spiritualityhealth.com/articles/how-childhood-trauma-affects-adult-health

A personal note from VickyThis week has been challenging for me having fallen down the stairs and sprained my ankle. I don't know where that extra step came for though I suspect it had been there for awhile and I just forgot! I was stone cold sober at the time before you comment. Luckily a lot of what we do in Pilates is floor based. More . . . .
Also: What is Pilates
This method was original called Contrology by it’s inventor the late Joseph Pilates (who we discussed last week) and is a proven exercise technique which has been used for over 80 years. More . . . .
Video of the week: Side Plank.

The summer solstice is set to take place this weekend, marking the first day of the summer season in the northern hemisphere with the longest hours of daylight.
On Saturday 21 June, the annual solstice occurs when the sun's zenith is at its furthest point from the equator. At this time, the sun reaches its northernmost point while the Earth's North Pole tilts directly towards the sun, at about 23.5 degrees.

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.
