Hi there
Tomorrow I’m off and away
for a week so no promises for an eNews next Saturday. Do make the most of this one! Now the drought is over and floods have had
their way, I’m hoping for a bit of sunshine whilst I am in Somerset. After all, the day with the longest daylight
hours falls this week!

where you are meant to be.

Teaching Doctors to Treat Fibromyalgia
& Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
A lot of doctors don't
know what to do for their patients with fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS or CFS/ME). Sometimes, it's
because they don't care. Other times, it's because they've had no training and
haven't encountered it enough in their practice.
The ones who don't care
aren't worth trying to educate. For the others, though, it often helps if we
can point them in the right way.
A framework for
fibromyalgia management for primary care providers.

to re-evaluate your treatment plan.

Fibro Doctors Chose Pfizer Over You
Do you like Lyrica,
Cymbalta or Savella? Have any of these meds cured you? Or has cognitive
behavioral therapy been the answer for your fibromyalgia symptoms? According to
the FibroCollaborative, a program funded by Pfizer and made up of 25
physicians, these would be your only options.1 This is what they
promote as the roadmap to success, but actually, it is the roadmap to doom for
all fibromyalgia patients.
Food for thought!

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.
