Exerciseing When you have both CFS and FMS?
Since 97 I have had fibro~ I learned how much exercise my body could handle~ what type my body could handle~ and also learned how much was too much.
Then in 08 I got CFS ~ now this is where I get confused~ and to be honest a bit scared.
I have read that if you have both FMS and CFS you need to be EXTRA careful and do less exerting exercises~ that for some people simple walking is enough and they have to be careful not to overdue!
On my good days I'm as active as i dare to be~ cleaning the house~ gardening~ enjoying life! read more »

Especially at this time of year it is extremely important to remember to take care of ourselves physically, but it is also crucial to remember that we need to keep our mental health in check as well. read more »

Ilene Spector, DO - Helping My Effects from Fibromyalgia More and More
Wednesday, February 10, 2010, 4:54 pm, by Mardy Ross
It's been such a wonderful pleasure in the last year to see Lumigrate making a difference in the lives of people with chronic illness, which is typically chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome. The 'Grate Group', as one of them named the group that was regularly convening on our facebook page, has had many of it's members making considerable improvements in their health because in part, the information and support they received from me and Lumigrate. One of those, and I think it was the one who named it the Grate Group actually, reported that she's gone several read more »

Aimee --- What Ya Want to Do .... (Hear Pure Prarie League?) ... with Your Forum
I am very pleased that Aimee agreed to have a Forum on Lumigrate. She's been along with us for over half of our existence and has made significant and continual contributions to the Forum areas and the facebook stream. She wrote a nice piece that is in the Forums about grief and the holidays last winter and has been doing amazing outreach to her real-world community, media, and the Internet. read more »
Mangling Medicine - Early Intervention for Chronic Pain
Friday, February 5, 2010, 7:38 am, by Mardy Ross
When you're done reading this, hit that 'Forums' tab on the pretty purple bar under the Lumigrate logo, please! It's what I'm really REALLY asking people to 'go and do'. I got up super early today thinking I was going to get this blog written and off my 'chest' or 'mind' and then go take another REM cycle. I was supposed to ski tomorrow with a friend and due to travel schedules, I've had difficulties getting one of the providers I'm hoping to write in Lumigrate settled in. read more »

30 Minutes of Time, $0.00 -- Yenta and Mardy Ask: R U Invested re: Financial Aspects of Chronic Pain/ Illness
Thursday, February 4, 2010, 12:00 pm, by Mardy Ross
Earlier today I was responding to a statement in the Lumigrate Forums area related to someone expressing that their finances don't allow for many of the therapies that are talked about related to recovering from chronic illness and in this case a chronic pain condition, fibromyalgia. I sympathize AND empathize with this, and have since Lumigrate was being conceptualized and formed and have placed THREE no-cost videos here. The others are at a price that is about the same as a low co-pay, and for an hour's worth of time with a medical provider with valid, progressive and t read more »

Finding Progressive and GRATE Providers in YOUR Area; How to Do It; Example of the One I Did for Western Colorado
Since people in conversation typically ask 'what do you do?' when you meet, I'm frequently explaining what Lumigrate 'is about'. My answer basically is: Valid, streamlined and FUN consumer/patient empowerment through education about progressive concepts such as 'integrative' and 'functional' medicine concepts, and focusing the "light of health and well-being" on information about chronic pain and illness, including the very common "fibromyalgia and fatigue spectrum disorders". read more »
