The Three Doctors' Interview: Integrative Approaches for Fibromyalgia's Pain, Insomnia, Fog and Fatigue
Mardy's note: I'm copying this from the original Fibromyalgia Awareness Day 2010 Forum about two months after the 'big day' and tweeking the original title just a bit (to formalize it a bit more), because I wanted it to be easily found on Lumigrate.com (and I also copied it to Deirdre Rawlings Forum, as she was kind enough to do the interview while our podcasting studio was being constructed (and naturally behind schedule). When Deirdre and I batted the idea around of what to do for this collaboration, I wanted it to seem very informal and appealing to the public with fibro read more »

Independence from Chronic Pain and Life's Challenges
Sunday, July 4, 2010, 11:23 am, by Mardy Ross
So I FINALLY return with a blog post this July 4th, "Independence Day" --- it's been since the LAST holiday, the kick-off for summer in the US, Memorial Day, that I've posted a blog as I'm concentrating on bolstering content in the Forum area of Lumigrate this summer. "Polishing what is there" so to speak. I also have had the pleasure of spending some time learning and making contacts for future developments within another important area related to aging, end of life, and hospice and paliative care. As you've seen there are new forums from Petie an read more »

Brief Fibromyalgia Success Story with Supplements and USANA
Below are two links with helpful information on how proper supplementation for cellular nutrition might help ease the chronic pain that people with fibromyalgia experience.
The first is a blog from a fellow Usana associate about his traveling to the international convention with his friend who has fibromyalgia. The second is a pdf file by Dr. Ray Strand (also a Usana associate) on his product recommendations. Both very interesting and informative.

Deirdre's GRATE book "Food That Helps Win the Battle Against Fibromyalgia"
I was so pleased to have my copy of Deirdre Rawlings' outstanding book Food that Helps Win the Battle Against Fibromyalgia with me recently when my sister said "I need to get out my cookbooks and get some inspiration." This was brought on because our dad, who is in what I call 'the home stretch of life' was trying to figure out what he might eat differently to get better results for what is 'paining him' and making his joints malfunction. I believe he had undiagnosed / misdiagnosed fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue issues basically his who read more »
Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain Awareness via A&E's "Intervention"
Friday, May 14, 2010, 9:19 am, by Mardy Ross
Last night I got an email from Dr. Jerry Rand of Bay Recovery in San Diego, which is one of the treatment facilities featured on the popular A&E show 'Intervention', asking for people to vote for episodes he and his facility have been featured in on a facebook application contest by A&E to determine what YOU, the viewers, think is the best episode for them to promote for a special feature they are doing. (Information below on voting and the link on facebook for that as well if you're interested.) read more »

The First I Knew of Dr Rand and Heard Him Speak
I was fortunately invited to present at a conference the first summer after Lumigrate launched in 2009. I hadn't budgeted for a trip like that, I hadn't budgeted for all the differences in costs and revenues that occurred from the time I had set out to create Lumigrate until then and I really couldn't afford to go. But something in my gut told me to say 'yes' to Charalambos Kesta when he asked me to attend his conference in Berkele read more »

Fibromyalgia and dance, plus notes on E-stim.
All right. This is a story I have long put off telling, not through reticence but time. I was asked, by Mardy, to tell about what I had discovered about my own fibromyalgia and what has worked for me. Firstly, I was not very accepting of this problem, this "syndrome." I began my dance with chronic pain fairly young. Up until I was about sixteen, in fact, I was doing fairly well. Then I fell off the stage onto the back of my head. About the same time, I was struck in the jaw by a baseball. My sensior year I was in a rollover accident. read more »
Reorganizing and Cleaning Up for Spring, FMS/CF Awareness, Anniversary, Birthday .... Busy!
Monday, March 22, 2010, 9:14 am, by Mardy Ross
Life is a process, a cycle. And websites are like people and seems to have developmental stages, just like kids and people do. Lumigrate will pass it's one year anniversary this week on Saturday, March 27th, and the following Friday Mardy will turn 50. The way Lumigrate evolved from an idea to a reality, not exactly as Mardy had planned because a person doesn't work in a vacuum -- you're influenced by the people you utilize for your information and by who comes to work for you, the economy, and your life events. I hate to compare you to a spaghetti noodle, but when I read more »
