Thanks Giving
Thursday, November 26, 2009, 8:10 am, by Mardy Ross
Six years ago today, I was sharing a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and significant other in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where I had lived for a handfull of years, and telling them I had been arm-twisted by a previous employer there to help out with a staffing shortage in Grand Junction, Colorado for three weeks. How did three weeks turn into six years? Well, if you are lucky enough to have ever been, it's a lovely little city -- the banana belt of Colorado (except we grow apples, peaches, and grapes (so hence winemaking), not bananas!). I just felt I read more »

Symptoms and Suggestions
We've all heard about 'self-help books'... well, I'm adding this area for everyone to be 'each-other help'.
Lumigrate's been in the making now for two years as a concept on my part, and went 'live' (launched) on March 27 at about 9:50 am our time here in Western Colorado (Mountain Time Zone) and generally everything's gone about as expected since then (though beforehand I was, shall we say, 'challenged' every time I turned around from the day I decided to get out of my previous clinical practice and 'do' what you now see as Lumigrate.com). .... read more »

"Veterans" of All Kinds
Wednesday, November 11, 2009, 3:02 am, by Mardy Ross
Today is Veterans' Day in the United States, and I am proud to say I have an appreciation of our military's veterans, perhaps from day one. My father served in World War II back when the Air Force was called the "Army Air Corps". I grew up always feeling cold, as my father did, and shuddered at the story of how cold north Africa was and likely felt more so to him because he was not given the thyroid medication he had needed from the time he was a teen. read more »

Causes of Fibromyalgia Pain
Pain in patients with Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome may come in many different varieties. Some patients may actually have more than one pain condition at the same time. The core pain in Fibromyalgia is due to "Energy Deficits"! Think about your fingers when you have "writer's cramp". The fingers are drawn up (shortenened) and if you straightened one out really quick, it would really hurt! That's how it is with Fibromyalgia; the muscles are lacking energy and they shorten, and if you move against them, they hurt. The true goal i read more »

Let Go of the Shame/Blame Game For Better Health (via Cheryl Young, LMFT)
In an allopathic medical building, which at the time was not doing any 'integration' aside from that I was coming up to the Behavioral Health and Wellness' meetings on a weekly basis and meeting about mutual patients or giving input on others that were challenging the 'what to do' experts, a little lesson was provided by the co-owner of the clinic, Cheryl Young, related to when something bad happens to someone, the process the person goes through, of shame/blame and the continuum they go through to get to 'letting it go'. read more »

Tips on how to get moving when you body says "NO"
We all have them. The days that the last thing we want to do is exercise. We would rather turn out all the lights, crawl under the covers, and try to sleep until the pain stops. BUT.... if you get moving it WILL help. It doesn't take much...just a few stretches, a walk to the corner and back...
Here's what I wrote in my blog on flourishwithfibro.wordpress.com on what helps me..... read more »
