Hello again
It’s been a bit colder today than of late. The flora of the gardens and countryside thought it was spring already and burst into bloom. Hope they don’t regret it! I am posting this late on Friday night because tomorrow the trustees meet in Chichester. I shall be out all day. Hence my diligence in getting this eNews to you early!

Cheap & Easy Home Remedies for Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) come with dozens of symptoms that can range from annoying to debilitating. Treatment regimens are generally aimed at the worst of them, but so far we don't have any treatments that relieve all of our symptoms.
Where treatments leave off, self-management takes over. You have a lot of simple, low-cost options for managing these leftover symptoms.

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.
