FMSSAS eNews 11.03.26

Hello again
Monday was officially the first day of spring, and how pleasantly spring-like it was.  Quite a tonic!  In fact it has been a pretty good week.
Sheila Mayo is still in hospital but her daughter told me that she hopes to be home soon with a permanent live-in carer.  Sheila’s house is being decluttered to make room for hospital equipment.  There are a number of pictures done by members of the Art Class that Sheila used to teach.  If you were a member of that group and would like to reclaim your artwork, please let me know.  Otherwise it will sadly be thrown away or at least recycled.

13.  The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

'Loose Joints' Highly Associated with Migraine, ME, CFS, FMS etc
Most people see ‘double-jointedness’ as a common, harmless condition. But in people with joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) - a condition where joints easily move beyond their normal range - it could be the precursor and cause of migraines and other problems, reports Vincent Martin, MD, a headache expert at University of Cincinnati Health Center who himself has hypermobile joints and migraine.

N.B. I would like to point out to you all that the information in my eNewsletters does not necessarily infer endorsement by the charity Fibromyalgia Support for Surrey & Sussex.   Any advice or recommendation of a medical or legal nature must always be discussed with a qualified professional. The charity cannot be held responsible for omissions and/or errors.
Sites I refer you to are for information only.  They might conflict in their opinions, they might not even be medically sound, but I merely offer them for you to peruse and make your own judgements, accept or reject as you will.  Only by reading widely can we get an overall picture of fibromyalgia syndrome and how we can deal with its symptoms, learn to cope with them and still have a life.
I also include various awareness and local issues as well as general health considerations.
