Thyroid "Detective Doctors" -- Clues to Lead YOU the Way
One of the key hormones contributing to health effects with both fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome is thyroid.
Many of you have had your levels checked and you have been told it is normal. If you are overweight, cold, fatigued, losing hair, brain fog, have dry skin/dry heels and ridged fingernails, then this is untrue. read more »

Q&A: Menopause, hysterectomy and FMS? HRT?
Question:
Have there been any studies about how a woman's hormones may have changed because of a hysterectomy (ovaries taken, too) or even menopause, and then fibromyalgia is diagnosed? When I facilitated a support group, about 95% of the FM patients said they had a hysterectomy or were in menopause. read more »

Fibromyalgia and facebook KNOWLEDGE in 2011 at Lumigrate.com So Far
Sunday, June 12, 2011, 10:35 am, by Mardy Ross
I had a day yesterday that made me think a lot. For starters, I worked all morning on statistics about health care trends and then met with the marketing/business development specialist who is helping me pull things together the way I want them to be but haven't mastered myself yet. She had a fascinating perspective on the Internet and alternative/complementary medicine, which I hope she'll get onto Lumigrate and write about at some point. read more »

Fibromyalgia/CFS/ME Awarness Day, 2011 a la Lumigrate!!!
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 »

Baseline Supplements for Healthy Adults Wanting to Stay That Way
I've been following with interest what I can see at Lumigrate about what people are tuning in to hear and read about, plus talking with Mardy related to what information we can provide that is of most help to people. It seems there are two tracks of people when it comes to supplements -- those who are in overall good health and wanting to maintain that, and those who have specific health concerns who then benefit from additional items.
