FibroAction.org: One of the Top FM Websites for Info I've Seen (UK based)
Sun, 02/26/2012 - 2:54pm
One of my goals with Lumigrate is to STREAMLINE people's health education time/energy/money (resources) by finding valid (yet progressive) sources and posting about them here, preferably with the involvement of someone from the organization. I feel the FibroAction website is one of the best I have seen: While they are based in the UK, they utilize the American standards set for diagnosing and treating. There were 1990 criteria which were replaced in 2010 and I think that's EXTREMELY important for providers and the public to have 'front and center' and this website has both clearly presented. They have an excellent section on the things as an occupational therapist I would focus on with people, modifying activities and how to properly exercise. (PTs also cover exercise but I found that many did not understand FM well so I'd start patients on their exercise program and teach THEM the concepts, then that would 'cross pollinate' to the provider/PT/exercise physiologist/parent/spouse/support system).
Here's the link. Please go and learn. Then come back for MORE we have at Lumigrate 'beyond' what this site has. Think of this website as REALLY good 'bread and butter' and then Lumigrate might have jelly to top it off. Interesting example, since we shouldn't be eating wheat, dairy or sugar, eh? 
... (That's the kind of information we have that's 'jam/jelly' .... outside the box stuff. But you cannot do jelly without bread and butter! This is an EXCELLENT site for information, in my opinion. ~~ Mardy
