Mardy Ross's picture

I thought today I'd write a very quick blog post and hope to have more people who have something to add to Lumigrate come and be a part of something that is helping many now, and we plan to have that grow!  With everyone's help in grabbing an oar, if only to write one line in the Lumigrate Forum area, it's a contribution!   read more »

Solstice's Reflections -- 13 years to Today - the BEST is NOW and Yet to Come!

Mardy Ross's picture

It's a Sunday here in western Colorado and it is obvious we're near the winter solstice since about the time I typically like to go out for an evening walk it's getting dusky...  and it made me realize that it's been 13 years since I completed my fieldwork to become an occupational therapist.  The neat thing is, that today on the wonders of facebook, I was 'chatting' with an OT halfway across the world, where it's summer now.  She's going to contribute some content to the Forum area of Lumigrate.com and I'm very much looking forward, as always, to new information and another  read more »

Thanks Giving

Mardy Ross's picture

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 »

Health Care Reform: What YOU Can Do ....

Mardy Ross's picture

Yesterday on facebook, we had quite an interesting interaction because I used the words 'health care reform'.  Wow!  What a button!  It's GREAT to see people focused on the subject, and historically you will find that when a controversial subject is close to 50/50 in opinion, people get very 'active'.  And 'active patients' is what many progressive thinkers in the medical industry want.  Including Lumigrate!  read more »

You and Me -- Our Part of Health Care Reform

Mardy Ross's picture

I was so very pleased to be asked to present at the Chronic Pain Documentary Series Conference in Berkeley this past weekend (see yesterday's blog).  I was asked by the filmmaker doing the series based on my commitment to the concept demonstrated on Lumigrate's home page and my history of having been both a patient/consumer with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue over the past 20 years and a provider.  The seminar I presented is titled 'Proactivity vs.  read more »

Conference on Chronic Pain and Fatigue, Fibromyalgia - Communicative Convergence of Doctors, Therapists, and Patients

Mardy Ross's picture

Anyone interested in the subject of chronic pain should be interested in what we were part of this weekend in Berkeley, CA.  A group of professionals and people with chronic pain or family/friends with it, came together in the most inviting, open room of an art studio and shared our experiences and knowledge for 9 hours.   Two things were most striking for me: that people with chronic pain conditions would attend in such substantial numbers and be able to stay for such an event and that many of the presenters and crew had a history of chronic pain and are sincerely passi  read more »
