Hello, and welcome to my new FMS eNews blog.
I hope to provide you with links to websites and other
ideas that will give you ammunition to fight that ogre, fibromyalgia. It won’t be very different from the old
eNewsletters that I sent out from FMSSAS.
If anyone reading this is not on my emailing list and would like to
receive a reminder whenever a new eNews is posted on this blog, please email me
at fmsstella@gmail.com and I’ll add you
in. Anyone can contribute to this blog
by adding comments at the end of my message.
Give us your tips, ask questions, make your recommendations, tell us your
passions and your hates! This doesn’t
need to be onesided! If you want to
contact me privately please use the email address above. I would like all this to be more interactive
than in the past. We shall still have
Wordz for the Week from Donnie Khun’s book Wordz for the Day. Wordz of wisdom most of us would not even
dream of.

Pain management health
centre - What is fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia, also known as fibromyalgia syndrome, is a chronic
condition that characteristically causes pain
all over the body, including muscle and joint pain, and fatigue
as well as other symptoms. Fibromyalgia can lead to depression
and social isolation.
In this overview of
fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), we'll explain the symptoms. We'll talk about
diagnosis and treatment. We'll also explain the impact fibromyalgia has on
lives. The impact comes from the tremendous physical and psychological strains
that come with FMS. Those strains can lead to los http://www.webmd.boots.com/pain-management/arthritis-fibromyalgia
of work hours, reduced income, and even loss of a job.

Distractions!
Distractions can be
therapeutic! They take your mind off
pain and problems even though that might not be permanent! But it helps:

MANAGING FIBROMYALGIA #30

By Pati
Chandler,
HI Everyone!
As you may
know I am a chronic compulsive obsessive researcher. And I try to keep my ears
open when I chat with other folks who have chronic painful conditions. I
pick up a lot of tips and ideas and helpful methods for managing pain and other
symptoms, from all over the place. I thought I'd share some of these
things.

If you have
ME/CFS, odds are good that your heart rate falls outside of normal parameters,
especially in certain situations. See how that could be responsible for
misfires in your brain.

Dr. Pellegrino's fibromyalgia diet: It's
metabolic, my dear
Dr. Pellegrino has seen
thousands of fibromyalgia patients in his practice at Ohio Pain & Rehab Specialists, and has
had fibro himself since childhood. This information is reproduced here by
popular demand, with his kind permission.
A common problem observed
in Fibromyalgia is weight gain. Many patients complain to me that weight gain
became a major problem once Fibromyalgia established itself. . . . . . .

Protozoal Infection -- The Next Big
Discovery?
A New Protozoa Appears Linked To Mystery Diseases
By Marc Braman, MD, MPH
New findings of a previously unknown
protozoa in patients with conditions such as lupus, chronic fatigue, multiple
sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's disease, etc may prove to be a major medical
breakthrough. While there are still some pieces of the puzzle to be
proven, there are many pieces that fit so far. Treatment may prove very
challenging, but lifestyle and diet has a surprisingly profound effect on the
organism and patients.

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.
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.
I previously sent
out emails as FMSSAS eNews. Past issues
