The Best Mattress for a Better
Night's Sleep
Buying a new mattress? Here are tips
for finding the right mattress for you.
You spend about a third of every day in bed. Whether that time is
spent blissfully slumbering -- or tossing and turning -- depends a lot on your
mattress.
"A mattress can impact a person's sleep," says
Michael Decker, PhD, RN, associate professor at Georgia State University and
spokesman for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
One way that your mattress affects your sleep has to do with the
network of fine blood vessels, called capillaries, that runs underneath your skin.

Top 5 Drugs That Can Cause Pain
Imagine living in pain for years only to find out that one of your
medications is the reason that you are in pain. Medications are supposed to
help not hurt, right? Unfortunately, some commonly used drugs can cause pain,
even the ones available without a prescription. Some cause headaches, others
cause foot pain. Where ever there is pain, a medication could be the root cause
of it.

INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER wants info about WCA PLEASE
Message from the Independent. Please get in touch with them - we need to raise public awareness of what's happening:
We are really keen to focus on Atos throughout the Paralympics,so any help would be great.
I am really keen to speak to disabled people who have had the following experiences with the WCA:
Family member who committed suicide as a result of being found fit to work
Someone who turned up for their assessment to have it cancelled because no health professional around
Someone who has inaccurate information recorded by the assessor
I am totally open to anything new – so please do keep in touch and pass on my details (work number please).

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. Anyone wishing to
reproduce any of the above items in printed form should seek permission from
the originators.
