Greetings
This week was Volunteers’
Week. I attended a ‘Thank You’ party for
Age UK volunteers, which was an enjoyable occasion. It was good to meet people who volunteer in
different ways to help the elderly. I am
'elderly' myself, but I can still give a bit of myself to help others!
Next week is Carers’ Week. Every week seems to be dedicated to some
charity. cause or ailment. I often wonder
what would happen to the world if all volunteers of every kind withdrew their
services.

Fibromyalgia Treatment Overview by
Unfortunately, there is no cure for Fibromyalgia. No “Magic Pill” exists and there is no
single accepted “Best” treatment approach. While effective Treatment for
Fibromyalgia is possible, each patient tends to respond to treatment efforts
differently. This is very frustrating for both doctors and patients.

Do all fibromyalgia sufferers deserve the
SAME support? YES!
A fibromyalgia survivor doesn’t fit into a particular category. They
aren’t a “she” or a “he”. They’re both. We come in different sizes big and
small and we still matter, we’re no less important because of shape or height.
Or the sound of our voice, or how much or how little we speak. We’re no less
important even in times of fibro fog. We’re no less important because of how
severe our pain is compared to someone else’s pain either. We’re so different
and that is what makes us so important, unique and valid in this world. We even
have different sets of beliefs systems, some of us believe in the Universe,
some of us believe in God, some of us are Atheist or Buddhist…and you know
what? We still all deserve and need the same kind of love, understanding and
support.

Can't sleep? Here are
11 types of insomnia developed by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
You don't have to lie
awake for hours past your bedtime to have insomnia. The condition can manifest
itself in several ways.
Yes, you may have trouble falling asleep (known as sleep-onset insomnia), but some people have problems staying asleep (sleep-maintaining insomnia) or waking up too early (early morning awakening).
Sleep specialists may look for an underlying cause, such as a medical condition or psychological issue. Here are 11 classifications of insomnia, developed by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

'The Ultimate
Health Bracelet'
The only biologically powered micro-current bracelet in the world
|
||||
Uniquely harmonised with BrodPod® advanced magnetic therapy
|
||||
Harnesses the power of the body's own electrolytes
|
||||
No batteries or mains power required
 |
||||
Nigel Broderick the award winning British inventor responsible for the
popularity of magnetic therapy bracelets has developed the world's
first
multi therapy microTeNS®
(micro-current) bracelet.
|
||||
Brod®TeNS is a revolutionary breakthrough and the culmination of
20 years research and development.
|
||||
The new invention replaces the need for batteries or mains power as
needed for a conventional TENS or microTENS machine.
Brod®TeNS is powered using the skin's natural electrolytes to help
generate a safe healing micro-current.
The tiniest electrical current
measured in millionths of an amp can turn off pain, operate vital
organs and move
muscles. Micro-current therapy is used extensively
by pain clinics and
professional therapists to treat a wide range of
medical conditions and injuries.
| ||||
The inventor describes it as "The Ultimate Health Bracelet -
A
one stop rejuvenation, maintenance and repair centre
for the whole body."

Summer seems to have come
at last in this part of the world. So
let’s make the most of it while it lasts!
For anyone in the southern hemisphere I hope your winter is not too
severe. My daughter and son-in-law are
on holiday in Devon this week. That
means I will probably have more to do at home, so I might not be able to put as
much time and effort into next week’s eNews, but I will do my best.
Until then . . . .
Keep good!
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.
