Disability Roulette
Imagine you work for a big
national company. They don’t pay very much and you struggle to make ends meet.
One day, the manager comes
into the office and announces that the company needs to save money and with
immediate effect, they will no longer be paying 20% of their staff.

Fibro Out-of-Control?
… two
experts offer treatment advice
Is your fibromyalgia
becoming more unmanageable and is staying awake during the day a constant
struggle? Both of these situations can make you wonder, “What can I do to get
out of this rut?” Two experienced clinicians describe common reasons for why
fibro symptoms can worsen and offer their treatment advice to help you get back
on your feet.

Get Ahead of Winter Blues
Shorter
days can alter your body’s metabolism, appetite, sleep schedule, and mood. All
these changes can compound your fibro symptoms, but there are effective
therapies to help.

Is
Sensory Overload Part of Your Fibromyalgia?
You expect to have painful muscles everywhere with
fibromyalgia. Even if your discomfort fluctuates from day to day, this symptom
is always present. The pain of fibro is amplified, as though the volume control
knob is turned up as high as it could go. But there is much more to
fibromyalgia than just the pain. Chances are, you have other sensory-related
symptoms that are roaring off the charts and making your fibro all the more
difficult to manage.

What Fibromyalgia Feels Like
Fibromyalgia means
widespread pain in the muscles, but this syndrome causes many other symptoms.1
Lab tests seldom validate your condition and the results often make you feel
like a hypochondriac. Pressing on tender points can diagnose fibromyalgia, but
the exam still does not explain all of your symptoms.2

Online Christmas shopping
I want to share how you can donate to charity this Christmas -
but at no cost to you. All you have to do is shop online, just like you probably
already do.
It's simple, thousands of stores have signed up to donate a percentage of every online purchase to charity - at no cost to you. And it's not small stores; it's John Lewis, Amazon, Tesco - places we're shopping online already.
All you have to do is download Give as you Live (it takes seconds and is totally secure) and then shop online just like you already do.

I'm already raising money for Fibromyalgia Support for Surrey and Sussex and I want to invite you to join me. After all, it doesn't cost you anything.

Gluten: Bad for us All!
Here we present you with
the evidence of the universal harm of gluten.
Can the concept of a
totally gluten-free world be turned into a practical and sustainable idea?
