Honoring Your Limits With Fibromyalgia
“Putting yourself first is a hard concept for most of us to grasp. I believe we are givers and over achievers by nature. I also believe that these personality traits, while noble, contribute to our illness. But they can be overcome. It takes time and it takes practice. Give yourself a challenge. Take one thing off your plate this week. Just say no to it, and instead, spend that time doing something healthy that nourishes you. Be a little selfish. You will be amazed at how it makes it that much easier to honor the many commitments in your life.”

The Forbidden Food You Should Never Stop Eating
The demonization of saturated fat began in 1953, when Dr. Ancel Keys published a paper comparing saturated fat intake and heart disease mortality. His theory turned out to be flimsy, to say the least, but the misguided ousting of saturated fat has continued unabated ever since. Fortunately, the truth is finally starting to come out, as medical scientists have begun to seriously question Keys' findings.

Social Security Disability Benefits for Fibromyalgia
If you have fibromyalgia, Social Security disability benefits may be available to you. To determine whether you are disabled by fibromyalgia, the Social Security Administration will consider whether your fibromyalgia qualifies as a severe medically determinable impairment at Step 2 of the Sequential Evaluation Process. If your fibromyalgia qualifies at Step 2, the Social Security Administration then considers whether your condition is severe enough to equal a listing at Step 3 of the Sequential Evaluation Process.

DOCTOR DISCUSSION GUIDE
If you think you may have Fibromyalgia (FM) or CFS/ME you should talk to your doctor. Only a healthcare provider can determine if you have FM or CFS/ME. Be prepared for your visit with a list of your symptoms and medications so you can make the most of your meeting with your healthcare provider, you will likely have limited time.

Doing Good Keeps You Doing Well
How Doing Good Helps You
Like a lot of Boomers these days, you may be leading a full and fairly stressful life. Here's a counterintuitive way to make yourself feel better both emotionally and physically. Add one more item to your To Do list: volunteering. And if you're retired with a little leisure on your hands, filling the void with projects that reach out to others is a scientifically proven way to boost your morale and your immune system at the same time.

Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate (GHB/Xyrem)
GHB is now a controlled substance and can only be prescribed by your physician and dispensed from a central pharmacy. However, more and more physicians are prescribing Xyrem for alternative uses, including fibromyalgia. With careful monitoring, Xyrem may be an alternative for your own fibromyalgia symptoms.
