Hi there!
Here I am again! And still the advice and articles flow in. I am amazed by the amount of info that is being published. How can doctors STILL say that FMS does not exist? I hope you pass on relevant items to your GPs. The first one after WORDz is a good example.

Fibro Fog the real cause by Rebecca Richmond
“The brief loss of memory or confusion, often referred to as Fibro Fog, can be incredibly frustrating, and even distressing. I know I was very concerned that my usual alert mind appeared to be gone forever.

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.
