Hello there
This week we have Shrove
Tuesday when pancakes are traditionally eaten to use up fat before Lent begins
the following day, Ash Wednesday. Thursday is Valentine’s Day an occasion in
which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery,
and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). Don’t eat too many pancakes, nor the tempting
confectionary you might receive! According
to the recent items included here, wheat products, fat and sugar are all bad
for us. Have you decided which foods
suit you best?

Just Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia --
Now What?
From Adrienne Dellwo,
your Guide to Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
"I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I'm overwhelmed. I
don't understand what this illness is or what I'm supposed to do next. My life
has been a mess for months while doctors tried to figure out what was wrong
with me, and now that I know what's wrong, I don't know what to do about it.
Where do I start?"

"Keep Moving Forward" and Don't Stop Dancing!
‘This is my own experience with Fibromyalgia. It is my way to share and
maybe help someone not feel so alone. Hopefully my ramblings of medications,
depression, pain, and the like, will not be too boring! I hope I can share some
helpful information that I might stumble on, and I hope you share your
experiences with me also. "Disability is not a brave struggle or ‘courage
in the face of adversity.’ Disability is an art. It’s an ingenious way to
live." - Neil Marcus’

Making Peace with Fibromyalgia
A diagnosis of fibromyalgia usually morphs into a feeling that life is
nothing more than illness.
Despite the pain and the
fibro fog; the inability to sleep and the isolation; a fibromyalgia patient can
undertake helpful steps to manage their chronic pain and regain happiness.
Below are five key components of a treatment regimen to help fibromyalgia
patients take back control of their lives.

Welcome to this week's newsletter.
This week we
have the latest chapter in our e-book, "Psychology
and ME: An A-Z Guide". This time we are looking at the
critical, but also often challenging, area of DISCIPLINE. If you have
ever found yourself overdoing it on the recovery path, or equally struggling to
follow through with your commitments to support your recovery, this is a must
read chapter. You can find the full chapter for free at A-Z Guide - Discipline.

No time to hit the gym? Rake the lawn
instead, scientists say
Good news for busy people: you can get just as much health benefit from
a series of disconnected bouts of exercise as short as a minute or two each as
you can from a single 30-minute workout, according to a study conducted by
researchers from Oregon State University and published in the American
Journal of Health Promotion.

Urgent – we need your support
The European
Union’s plan to regulate the supplements market is back on the agenda. It
means there’s a very real danger that our vitamins and mineral supplements
could be dramatically weakened and some may disappear. Millions of
ordinary people will be denied the freedom to choose the supplements they rely
on. We need your help to fight these unnecessary and unwelcome EU
restrictions.

Nutrition FAQ: What Is the Paleolithic Diet?
By Shereen Jegtvig,
About.com Guide Updated February 04,
2013
Question: Nutrition
FAQ: What Is the Paleolithic Diet?
I saw a man on TV talking about a caveman diet and how we should eat
like our ancestors. He called it the Paleo diet. What is that and how do I
follow it?
Could this help with fibro?

As I come to sign off it has just started snowing
again. I think of those of you ‘down
under’ and wish I was there with you!
Hopefully, it won’t settle. UK residents - don’t go out unless it’s
urgent. I was going to go shopping – a
rare occurrence – but not today! There
is more for me to do at home at present as my daughter is not well. So, being preoccupied, I might not have as
much time to devote to eNews next week.
But we shall see.
Best of wishes to you all
Stella

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.
