Hi everyone
I hope you haven’t got washed away by all the rain we have been
having. Which is better, drought or
floods? No need to answer that
question! We don’t have a choice anyway. You may think you don’t have a choice over
suffering with fibromyalgia. But you
have. There are lots of things you can
do to make life easier.

The Torture of Sleep Deprivation in Fibromyalgia & Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome
As I sit here awake at far-too-early o'clock, after getting to
sleep at far-too-late o'clock, I can't help but fixate on sleep. I suppose it's
more accurate to say "sleep deprivation" than "sleep," however.
When you have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, sleep deprivation
is a part of life. Paradoxically, we're sleep deprived no matter how much time
we actually spend asleep.

Safety warning over Britain’s most common antidepressant
A study for medical regulators found that the drugs increase the
risk of heart problems which can cause sudden death.
Doctors have been told to lower the maximum dose of the UK’s most
widely prescribed antidepressant, Citalopram, for all patients.
However, regulators have admitted that it is not clear whether the
lower dose is safe — as this was not tested.

Explaining Invisible Illness To Friends Can Be Challenging
The video shows how living with an illness can be hard to explain
to friends who don't understand how you pace yourself. Have you ever had a
conversation like this one? What would you do differently? How do you explain
yourself without sounding like a drag?

for the rest of us, I think independence is a quality that we all value and want

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
