Dear
Readers
I'm
afraid this is a bit shorter this week; not only because I
had two days less
to prepare it, but also
because I have had some problems with
receiving emails. fmsstella@gmail.com
is still working though.

common, some surprising -- you may not be getting the sleep you
really need.

Could
we be making an important step forward in chronic fatigue syndrome
research? Possibly, as subgroups are identified that could help
identify underlying mechanisms and better treatments. More on
that, below.
Also
this week, another
study on exercise for fibromyalgia, and what I think about it -
hint: I'm not jumping up and down; and a study on what weather
does to us, and why some of the headlines about it are misleading.
Don't
miss more info down in Featured
Articles
and some good basic articles to review on the right.

care of yourself!

Stupid, Bloody Pain!
From
sleeping, to concentrating on a task, to simply enjoying ourselves,
pain has the ability to affect us in so (too) many ways.
Our
cognitive and pain problems appear to be associated with a sluggish
autonomic nervous system (ANS). Despite being ‘on’ most of the
time, our ANS seems to take an Ambien when faced with stress. Reduced
ANS functioning during activity and increased ANS activity when
resting are both associated with increased pain. Read more. . . .

Get up and Get On
Yes
I was telling myself “get up and get on” MOST of today! I realize
how important it was over the weekend to rest. Yes, I might not have
gotten as much homework done. And yes probably could have done more
but you know I needed the sleep. BUT today…my body groaned when my
alarm went off. In my mind I wanted to get up and do things…but
every bone in my body was screaming against it! The good thing was…I
did get up and I was able to make it to work!!! HORRAY Read more . .

Not
So Gentle Reminders by Terri
Naroian
Wow!
What a whirl-wind, this morning. It really started last
night, but I think I was in such a fibro fog, it didn't phase me
much. At 9pm last night, I was asked if I could drive everyone
to school, in the morning. When I inquired as to why the bus
wouldn't do, I was told that they all signed up to bring something
in for a brunch they'd be making on their last day of school. Well,
that didn't exactly answer the bus question, but as I persisted in
my questioning, I found out that one teen was borrowing our waffle
maker, the other, a dozen eggs (good thing I had extra) and my third
child agreed to bring in our extra large pancake skittle. "Ok",
I said about the ride to school, and I went off to bed.

Ginseng Health Benefits And Side Effects by Marisa Ramiccio
Feeling
sluggish or tired lately? Need an energy
boost?
Then ginseng may be the answer to your problem. This herb is commonly
used as an energy booster or to improve memory or concentration.
Ginseng is a very popular herb and can also be used to treat a
variety of health problems.

It
is shocking to see how quickly parts of the NHS are starting to
decline, only 2 years after the OECD rated it as one
of the best health systems
in the world. Patients are suffering and services are being damaged.
It is vital to gather the evidence and publicise it. With your
support we have taken an important step. Read

The
weather doesn't look too promising for my weekend break. At least it
will be a change of scenery and I am not taking my computer with me.
I shall have a lot of catching up to do when I get back, so bear with
me!
Till
next week

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
