Greetings everyone
I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend. Weren’t the festivities amazing? How the Queen survived all the cold, wind,
standing for ages and was still smiling, is hard to comprehend. The Duke of Edinburgh didn’t fare so well and
we hope he will soon be out of hospital.

Cyclo-ssage Massage Bed for sale
I have been browsing the internet and
see that there have been trials for fibromyalgia with the cyclo-ssage massage
bed. I do not know if any of your members have tried this out but I have read
some positive reviews about it for this condition.
I bought one of these systems for my
husband as he had serious back pain and then went on to have severe arthritis
of the hip requiring a replacement. The system helped him enormously and was so
good for relaxation too. Anyhow, I no longer have a need for the system as my
husband is now well and the system has served it's purpose. We also only have a
small bungalow and I do not have space or a spare room to keep it available for
regular use.
If any of your members would be
interested in purchasing this from me you could pass on my details to them. I
have had the system just over one year but it was used for approximately 3
months and is still under guarantee until Jan 2013. It is as new and in perfect
condition. I am asking £1200.00 for this system, they are currently just under
£3000. My system is a Mark 2 and therefore does not have the hand massagers
incorporated in the side of the system, but everything else is the same.
If anyone could benefit from this
please ask them to contact me on 07939 267911, my name is Jane Cosham and I am
based in Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex.
Thank you so much,
Kind regards,
Jane Cosham (Mrs.) <jane.cosham@virgin.net>

Invisible No More
People battling various mild to severe debilitating conditions are
often told they, “Don’t LOOK” sick or in pain. Because others cannot see their
fatigue, cognitive dysfunctions, mental disorders or pain, they often do not
believe the symptoms are real or think the person must be lazy or exaggerating.
Invisible No More! not only shines a light on what people living
with disabilities contend with, but also their incredible perseverance and
courage. It is our hope that when friends and family watch these stories, they
will begin to realize that their loved one’s story is just as amazing,

RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently),(i.e. It is sunny out today.)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

Pain Management Overview
Pain management is
important for ongoing pain control, especially if you suffer with long-term or
chronic pain. After getting a pain assessment, your doctor can prescribe pain
medicine or other pain treatments to help you get pain relief. Sometimes
psychotherapy is also useful in learning new coping skills to help with chronic
pain.
