Well I have remarried and relocated to the Texas Hill Country. This has not been an easy move for me. I am also making a lot of changes in my life which should be much for the better. I have missed contacting you. I am trying to update my profile but it is not taking my info for some reason. Perhaps I will be able to soon.

Hypnosis Reduces Tender Points in People with Fibromyalgia
Monday, 11 May 2009
Researchers from the Unidad de Investigació Médica in Merida, Mexico, explored the efficacy of Ericksonian Hypnosis for managing the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
Forty-three female fibromyalgia patients were randomly assigned to receive either six months of Ericksonian hypnosis (n = 20) or a sham-hypnosis protocol (n = 23). Each month, measures were taken using the Patient and Physician Global Disease Assessment, a cou…

Just as in 2007 with Lyrica and again in 2008 with Cymbalta, the fibromyalgia community is abuzz in anticipation of Savella, the third drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of fibromyalgia. That this news should garner such attention is not really surprising given the level of involvement and sophistication among fibromyalgia patients, but we should always remember to temper our expectations with a bit of sobriety. A little rational analysis can tell us a lot about how these drugs were deve…

Fibromyalgia is pervasive. If you or a loved one are afflicted, you already know this. Left unmanaged, it can take control of your daily activities, your thoughts, your sleep, and even your interactions with other people. Since fibromyalgia is a long-term chronic disease, most patients eventually come to the realization that it is better to be proactive than to allow further erosion in the quality of their lives. With that in mind, here are 10 things you can do today to start getting your life b…

After 9 years of suffering with major Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, I found an easy and logical cure.
I went from doctor to doctor and they all prescribed pain medications but nothing worked. They made me try all types of medications. and they told me that my pain sensors were oversensitive, but of course none of this was true.
Basically, my body has been deprived of years of deep reparative sleep!
Years of non-reparative sleep is very damaging to the body, which causes overall body aches…

Since I have been in contact, my oldest son in Dallas had a massive heart attack and died. You just don't expect to outlive your kids. This also has caused my pain to be worse at this time. Plus I had to go to Dallas and there has been much stress and lots to do.

Having recently moved to the Texas Hill Country, I am having a bad time. It gets much colder here and that causes my pain to be worse. I also have not been exercising like I was before. Last week I went down to the coast to do some cleaning and packing of my things to bring back with me. That was a killer for my pain but the climate was mush warmer and nicer. I would have felt much better except that I overdid myself lifting things and carrying them down stairs. I had planned to wait until someo…

My symptoms have been getting so bad, I have had a headache for about two weeks. It's not just a headache, it's the worst headache that I've ever had, and the Doctor gave me hydrocodone and it only makes it feel better for a couple hours, and then it's back full force, and it knocks me out. I'm on a waiting list now to see a neurologist, but they said it would take two to three months to get in. Most of the doctors don't seem to believe in fibromyalgia, so do they think that I'm faking all of my…

So far I'm hanging in there! Since reading it is better to stay busy than sitting when in pain, I have been doing just that! Tagar and I get in the golf cart and go for a ride. We have daily activities here in our trailer park which I try to attend. We are a happy group and enjoy each other!
Hope all of you have a great New Year!
