Hello Everyone,  read more »

Hello again,

I have just completed a blog  entry on Sleep Dysfunction.  Although it is with regards to ME/CFS, the information may be useful to individuals hwo have sleep dysfunctions associated with Fibromyalgia.

Feel free to add yourself to the blog list, to pass it on to others, or even just copy the information within it and use to educate yourself and those around you, including, of course, your medical team.

Hello,

My name is Emma-Kate, I am from New Zealand and I have been invited here, by Mardy, to discuss FMS a little.  I posted a blog entry about it the other day, and it's a subject I would like to retun to in the near future.

I have ME/CFS, with associated pain since I was 13 (I was also born with Cerebral Palsy), I am now 28 and although I remain unwell, I work a little as an Occupational Therapist, and an awareness education teacher, including giving the occasional lecture at our local medical school, and university.  read more »

In November I received a call from one of my best friends in Grand Junction, who said 'I saw something in the paper you might want to know about".  Due to the holidays and busyiness, I called last week -- just in time to get in on the do-over meeting, as people were so scattered with the holidays the guys starting this group here realized they needed to wait until this new year to get started.  It was interesting to me that it was two GUYS who were doing a group -- it's rare!  I called the first name that was listed in the ad in the local paper, which was Alan.  He'  read more »

This is one of the more read topics as I'm editing today, and I'm going to bump this up in the forum as well.  The Forums area originally was used well to get people who wanted to comment doing so -- there weren't many websites then which had the capability to do that for people with 'fibromyalgia' as a focus as Lumigrate did in our formative times.  You'll see below a wonderful example of how it worked.   read more »

As you might have seen throughout my story and blog posts, I had a pretty good / bad case of CFS in my late 20's, which was 1989.  So this is a topic near and dear to my heart -- in the phases since when FMS was getting the best of me, it is the fatigue as much as anything that was so excruciating.  The causes are generally coming to be recognized and there are many schools of thought and much to learn from each other.  So please SHARE, and we can develop this area with topics as the Fibromyalgia Forum is, or similarly ....  Thanks!
