I recommend you read the four-page professional psychiatric journal article "Identifying and Treating Common Psychiatric Conditions Comorbid with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and/or Fibromyalgia" which appeared in Psychiatric Times on January 18, 2013 (29. 1) There is much focus and commotion/debate with the DSM-5 having come out recently which serves to remind all people with CFS (ME)/FM/MCS/etc. of the importance of knowing the information that pertains to YOU, so that you and your providers do not get led astray from the path to well-being.  read more »

Sinus Infections "Treated" since 1995, "Solved" in 2004 and "Managed" Since

I thought it would be helpful to have a topic about my sinuses.  Not that it's the most 'entertaining' and 'pleasant' thing to write about, but it is something that comes up a lot with people.  Since many reading this might not know anything about me, I'll do an overall summary.   read more »

WPI/XMRV in the Legal Spotlight Now

XMRV has raised eyebrows and created controversy since it was announced on ABC News shows, then to the rest of the mainstream media, in the fall of 2009. I covered it back then, as well as a very suspicious Dr. Oz show with Dr Teitelbaum, here at Lumigrate.  I poked around, calling someone I'd met in the past whose family owns a similar sort of research company to ask their opinion.  read more »

Lumigrate was formed out of my experiences having had FMS / chronic illness and lived the frustrations of the western, conventional medicine model (ConMed), and my belief that there was a need for quality, valid and progressive information done in a streamlined way that also made it FUN to come and be learing or teaching others.  I have always been an advocate for my patients and lived by my ethics to do the right thing for them in addition to the things a medical worker has to do in order to make a profit for their employer.   read more »
