Hi Everyone
This will be the last eNews sent on behalf of Fibromyalgia Support
for Surrey and Sussex. But fear
not! I will continue to send you an
eNews, but it will be from me personally.
I have resigned from being a trustee with FMSSAS so I am now writing
freelance. My geographical area will not
be bound to Surrey and Sussex, so I am not so likely to include localised
events. I will continue to give you
links to websites that appear to be of relevance to fibromites and any other
information that looks interesting. I
have changed the NB at the end of this message to make it more appropriate. The fmssas2 email address will no longer be
functional. Please send future emails
related to eNews to fmsstella@gmail.com

Can PosturePlast improves quality of
life for fibromites?
Message from Adam
Dallison
“I'm an osteopath of 15 years, and
recently launched a patented, innovative class 1 medical device called
PosturePlast into the physiotherapy / rehab world, with great success.
I developed PosturePlast out of a
clinical need, primarily to help treat, and prevent low back pain, but what has
come to light, is that the non drug and non invasive mechanical and
proprioceptive benefits that the product provides could be hugely beneficial
for patients suffering from more complicated conditions such as Fibromyalgia.
A pilot study being undertaken at UCL
and funded by Parkinson's UK, has recently started to establish the clinical
benefits to limit stooping and pain, and we are also working with the UK
Dystonia charity to see how PosturePlast improves quality of life with this
condition, early indications are very promising.
My specific writing to you is to see if
i could speak with one of your team about handing out some of our product to
known sufferers within the Fibromyalgia community, with no cost , like we are
doing with the Dystonia charity.”

Fibromyalgia and Hair Loss
by
Fibromyalgia and hair loss, clinically known as Alopecia, are
frequently linked with hair loss being a common symptom associated with
Fibromyalgia. Alopecia is a common skin disease that results in the loss of
hair on the scalp (and possibly elsewhere on the body). It typically begins
with a small, round, and smooth patch on the scalp and can progress to complete
baldness or total loss of body hair. Alopecia affects roughly 2% of the general
population and 4.7 million people in the United States. It is a very
unpredictable disease, as the hair can grow back or fall out at any given time,
and the disease course varies for each individual.

Hidden Insomnia Health
Risks: How to Sleep Better, Starting Tonight!
Insomnia, the most common sleep complaint among Americans, means “no sleep” in Latin. And as the definition implies, people with insomnia may not only have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, they may also not feel refreshed or restored upon waking.
Insomnia, the most common sleep complaint among Americans, means “no sleep” in Latin. And as the definition implies, people with insomnia may not only have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, they may also not feel refreshed or restored upon waking.
It’s an extremely common problem, with up to 40 percent of Americans
suffering symptoms of insomnia within a given year, and 10-15 percent dealing
with chronic insomnia, according to the National Center for Sleep Disorders
Research at the National Institutes of Health.

ago and our commitment to them hasn’t changed.

From April 2013 the government besides abolishing
Disability Living Allowance is also abolishing the Severe Disability Premium,
which tops up benefit for those living with severe disability.
Those who live with severe disability the costs
associated with just managing on a day to day basis are much higher. These
premiums are being abolished. Please help us campaign against these savage cuts
on the most vulnerable in society and sign both our petitions. Many thanks.

Two regulations ‘could hold the key to winning ESA appeals’
Two little-known government regulations could hold the key to
helping thousands of sick and disabled people who have been unfairly found “fit
for work”, according to a new campaign.
The grassroots, user-led group Black Triangle believes that
persuading GPs to write letters to tribunals quoting one of two employment and
support allowance (ESA) regulations could make it much easier for claimants to
win appeals against the results of their work capability assessments (WCA).

N.B. I
would like to point out to you all that the information in my eNewsletters passed
on to you is mainly from other sources. Links are given to the original articles. I take no responsibility for their accuracy
but freely give them publicity if I think they might be of interest to my
readership. 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. Any advice or recommendation of a medical or
legal nature must always be discussed with a qualified professional.
I
also include various awareness items, benefits issues, as well as general
health considerations. Anyone wishing to
reproduce any of the included items in printed form should seek permission from
the originators.
