Hi everyone
After all that rain it has been wonderful to see the sun again,
even if it has been a little too hot at times!
I’m not complaining though. Think
of all the vitamin D our bodies will be absorbing. But be careful you don’t overdo it or you
might get your skin sun-damaged. I had actinic
keretosis as a result of over exposure to the sun when living in warmer climes. Not good!

The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee
The Jubilee Hour. This
campaign aims to recognise Her Majesty the Queen’s 60 years of public service
by encouraging people to undertake 60 minutes of volunteering, or an act of
goodwill. You can pledge your Jubilee hour to be done at any time in the
Jubilee year.
Nice idea whether or not you normally give your time to charity.

Chest Pain and Fibromyalgia
If you have fibromyalgia you may have noticed that you often feel
intense pain in your ribcage and chest. This aching and stabbing pain is very
common in fibromyalgia and can really impact on your enjoyment of life. If your
chest pains are making it difficult for you to complete your work, get a good night’s sleep, or even breathe
deeply, it is important to visit with your health care provider. Chest pain in
fibromyalgia is usually nothing to worry about, but occasionally it can
indicate other problems.

How to Beat Pain – BBC 1 19.30, 28th May
Dr Jack Kreindler and Professor Greg Whyte tackle pain - one of
the most common complaints in Britain. To reveal key facts about chronic back
pain, osteoarthritis and acute pain, and give insight into how these
debilitating conditions can be treated, these medical mavericks use each other
as human guinea pigs in fun and often painful experiments

Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, is an uncomfortable and
sometimes painful disorder affecting up to 1 in 5 persons. Effective treatment
options have been somewhat limited, but researchers recently reported that two
prevalent drug therapies — rifaximin and lubiprostone — may be preferred
options, depending on the type of IBS. Also important, a unique but simple
statistical approach is presented for calculating benefit-to-harm ratios for
any therapy.

Fibro and Your Marriage
Any marriage or intimate relationship has its shares of normal ups and downs.
But being diagnosed with a condition like fibromyalgia creates dramatic
additional challenges and strains. When you have fibromyalgia, your spouse has
to accept you as a somewhat different person, someone whose energy may be
limited and whose skills may be reduced. For some people, this transition can
be difficult. Your spouse may mistake your fatigue for a lack of interest in
what's going on in his life and your pain as an excuse for getting out of
chores. It may be hard for him to realize and accept just how sick you are,
especially if you have no outward symptoms.
