Hi
Next week I shall be away, visiting my other daughter in Somerset so I won't be able to produce an eNews for you. The next one should be available on 20th July. So, I'll see you all again then, metaphorically speaking. I am editing this issue in a different way, so as I write, it remains to be seen how it will turn out. Fingers crossed!!

A few weeks ago it was our towns Homecoming week. Our 7th grader is in the marching band for the first year (and most likely the last). We live in Northern Wisconsin and the weather had turned cold. The high of the day was 43 degrees. By the time the game had started the temperature was 32 with high winds making the temperature below zero with the wind chill.I have never been a winter baby. I hate the cold. I have a harder time dealing with it now. . . . .

Fibromyalgia can affect sufferers’ lives on many levels, from fatigue and sleep, to memory and mood, and widespread musculoskeletal pain experienced as “tender points” throughout the body. Yet because fibromyalgia is an “invisible disease,” it’s often misunderstood by others, including many in the healthcare community.
To help ease the burden, many bloggers devote their time to creating online diaries about their experience. These blogs provide a sense of community and allow sufferers to share support and strategies with others who have fibromyalgia and their loved ones.

Fibromyalgia Treatments
There is no cure for fibromyalgia, so treatments seek to decrease pain, improve muscle and joint function, and help patients avoid situations that can worsen their symptoms.

Are irritable bowel syndrome and fibromyalgia connected? It's a question many people with these chronic conditions are asking. . . . . . Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder that involves abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, as well as changes in bowel movements - constipation or diarrhea, or alternation of both. People with IBS often experience anxiety and depression.

Ribose is a kind of sugar that is produced by the body. It is used as a medicine.
Ribose is used to improve athletic performance and the ability to exercise by boosting muscle energy. It has also been used to improve symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), fibromyalgia, and coronary artery disease. Ribose has been used to prevent symptoms such as cramping, pain, and stiffness after exercise in people with an inherited disorder called myoadenylate deaminase deficiency (MAD) or AMP deaminase deficiency (AMPD deficiency). Ribose has also been used to improve exercise ability in people with another inherited disorder called McArdle's disease.
