two for one-fibromyalgia-shellyandm

another one of shelly,s causes and because i consider myself to be reasonably aware of both physical and mental health disorders i was stunned when shelly and i talked about fibromyalgia because im ashamed to admit i had not heard about it at all.
so we will try and explain it although this really is shellys area-
it is a medical condition of unknown cause.it affects about 4% of the population and research has shown it causes abnormalities in thier nerves and become more sensitive to normal pain signals,it also causes a difficulty in deep sleeping.
it is a syndrome caused by a possible number of factors including physical or mental trauma,viral infections,disorders of immune system functions and anxiety.
treatment of fibromyalgia according to the AMERICAN COLLEGE OF RHEUMATOLOGY which is where i checked these facts out is painkillers,anti inflammatory medication,muscle relaxents and possible physiotherapy.
please never self diagnose and always get proffessional expert advice before taking any medication,as i said earlier i had not heard of it and had to research it by the AMERICAN COLLEGE OF RHEUMATOLOGY.

just me-about

i thought that i should just give a few facts about me so people know who i am.
i have two biological daughters,3 stepdaughters.
1995 lost a child through etopic pregnancy and myself and my then partner where told we could never have children-but in 1998 we had a daughter born with a club foot and in later life after my self and her mam split up she was diagnosed with celebral palsy-
then in may 2009 one of my step daughters was after fighting since october 2007 was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and remains in a mental health hospital.
BUT i consider myself to be very lucky because despite two children with disabilities thay are living and loving and that to me is a great gift

Chronic fatigue syndrome-what it is-Two For One

definition from-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1. A new onset (not lifelong) of severe fatigue for six consecutive months or greater duration which is unrelated to exertion, is not substantially relieved by rest, and is not a result of other medical conditions.
2. The fatigue causes a significant reduction of previous activity levels.
3. Four or more of the following symptoms that last six months or longer:
   • Impaired memory or concentration
   • Post-exertional malaise, where physical or mental exertions bring on "extreme, prolonged exhaustion and sickness"
   • Unrefreshing sleep
   • Muscle pain (myalgia)
   • Pain in multiple joints (arthralgia)
   • Headaches of a new kind or greater severity
   • Sore throat, frequent or recurring
   • Tender lymph nodes (cervical or axillary)

Other common symptoms include:

• Irritable bowel, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or bloating
• Chills and night sweats
• Brain fog
• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Chronic cough
• Visual disturbances (blurring, sensitivity to light, eye pain or dry eyes)
• Allergies or sensitivities to foods, alcohol, odors, chemicals, medications or noise
• Difficulty maintaining upright position (orthostatic instability, irregular heartbeat, dizziness, balance problems or fainting)
• Psychological problems (depression, irritability, mood swings, anxiety, panic attacks)^[39]

The CDC proposes that persons with symptoms resembling those of CFS consult a physician to rule out several treatable illnesses: Lyme disease,^[38] "sleep disorders, depression,alcohol/substance abuse, diabetes, hypothyroidism, mononucleosis (mono), lupus, multiple sclerosis (MS), chronic hepatitis and various malignancies."^[40] Medications can also cause side effects that mimic symptoms of CFS.^[38]

Two For One

I want to start a blog radio, I haven’t signed up yet, but my ideas are to get the unseen diagnoses recognized, ie: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Complex Regional Pain syndrome, pain management that gives quality of life and dignity, also of course depression. I have well about 20 doctors who follow me and want to get them in on this, such there is power in prayer in numbers applies to this as well.

this is shelly,s fabulous idea and i think it is brilliant.if anyone would like to tell shelly or myself about your experiences,we would love to hear from you please.

shelly is working tirelessly to get the publicity to get some unseen or ignored diagnoses highlighted and to help everyone in this type of position.

shelly and i have had considersble discussions on this issue and i am 100% committed with shelly to obtain the desired and most importantly correct conclusion
