Book Review “Breakthrough for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, M.E. and Fibromyalgia.” by Judith Maizel with Fiona Adamson
The sub title is ‘How Neurobiology & Epigenetics Point the way to recovery’. The book is reviewed by Jeanne Hambleton who says "In case you are wondering, neurosomatic illness is described as brain/body illness. The biology of the nervous system is neurobiology and epigenetics is biology resulting from external rather than genetic influences.
This wonderful book, full of research, promises and hope, was written by Judith Maizel PhD MBHMA, with Fiona Adamson M.Litt. Adv.Dip. Pych. MBACP. Judith suffered CFS/ME for 25 years before she found the pathway to good health and compiled the recovery programmes within the root cause of the condition.

Fibromyalgia Sufferers Have Trouble Processing Sight, Sound, Touch
In a paper published earlier this month (September 24, 2014) in Arthritis & Rheumatology, Marina Lopez-Sola of the University of Colorado, Boulder, showed that people suffering from fibromyalgia are hypersensitive to everyday sensory stimulation.

New Israeli Treatment For Fibromyalgia Helped 100% Of Sufferers In New Study
Hyperbaric Hope For Fibromyalgia Sufferers - Mike Williams • Rice University
Rice University part of Israel study to test novel treatment for little-understood condition
Women who suffer from fibromyalgia benefit from a treatment regimen in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, according to researchers at Rice University and institutes in Israel.
A clinical trial involving women diagnosed with fibromyalgia showed the painful condition improved in every one of the 48 who completed two months of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Brain scans of the women before and after treatment gave credence to the theory that abnormal conditions in pain-related areas of the brain may be responsible for the syndrome.

N.B. The links on this my FMS eNews blog are in the BROWN text, usually in the title of each article but occasionally elsewhere too. Some titles have no links in which case the title is in GREEN like the dividers. This blog gives just a taster of each article which can be viewed in full through its link. If you have any navigation problems, let me know.
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 judgments, 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.
This eNews is my personal offering to fibromyalgia sufferers and their carers and is not related to any other organisation or charity although I do work in conjunction with other bloggers and Facebook groups.
If you don’t already get reminders when each new FMS eNews is posted, please send an email to fmsstella@gmail.com and you will be added to the emailing list.
