Good health is something you used to have? And you want to be healthy again, correct?
Those are valid questions for anyone with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or any other chronic, long term illness.
And if you are able to discover a way to turn around your health, the question of what is the second part of this incredibly confusing puzzle. (Read on...)
For 3 days we've been delving into some really big health questions. You've been working to determine the question-and-answers' meaning in your life and the overall significance of being ill.
Each of the questions is important, but Question #4, How?, may be the most important one yet.
Winter Weather: What You Can Do For Yourself and Your Loved Ones' Health
Most people at this time of year begin to feel the chill of the wind in their bones. If you have Fibromyalgia (FMS) or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS or ME/CFS), it may feel more like a threatening invader is getting ready to pounce on the bit of health you still enjoy.
What can you do to guard yourself against the ravages of oncoming winter? And at the same time... have a little fun with what you purchase for yourself and as holiday presents?
I used to be a really sick Fibromyalgia (FMS) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) patient. I think there were times when my doctor wasn't sure I would make it. But that's a story for another day.
I suspect that you come from a similar background, as a person who really wants to get well and stay well.
If that's so, you will enjoy this fantastic information about Young Living Oil products. They could work for and aid you in improving and maintaining your health. Take a few moments to listen to the following audio and check out the suggested website for yourself.
Since today is an historic election day, most people are prompted to get out and vote. If you're sick and feel terrible with Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, voting is not as easy for you as it is for healthy people.

Recently Amy Proal spoke at and reported on the 2008 International Congress on Autoimmunity held in Porto, Portugal. Autoimmune issues affect many people, but especially women.
One quote offered, "Vitamin D induced dysregulation of nuclear receptors may account for higher prevalence of some autoimmune diseases in women."
But as is stated on the website, no one knows yet whether this dysregulation of Vitamin D is a causal factor or a result of the process. (Sound familiar?)
We all wait to hear more about this exciting work!
For all of us with autoimmune symptoms, including many hormone dysregulations, this is great information. Check out this website for all of Amy's report and commentary.
You're welcomed to post your comments here if you suffer with autoimmune symptoms.

Take the time to do this right. Figure out these questions, come up with your best answers and uncover the most important keys to empower yourself.

When I got so terribly sick in 1990 and could hardly walk or sit up in a chair (away from my bed for more than a few minutes at the time), my doctor ran a bunch of blood tests to find out what was wrong with me.

Recently I felt a bit under the weather with the reoccurrence of some viruses raising their pesky little heads. That did not make me happy. Here's why and here's what I did about it...
