FMS and CFS news roundup for January
I’ve got a mailbox full of fascinating news stories about CFS and FMS treatments, and while I’d love to post them all, it would take forever! Instead, I’ll post links to the most interesting ones here, and you can check out whatever interests you. Happy reading!
- Using Reiki to treat fibromyalgia
- Personal anecdotes about FMS from a man’s perspective
- Drug companies seeking approval for FMS medications (not much new here, just some labeling changes in the works)
- Study links fibromyalgia to reduced brain dopamine
- About “Worn Out Women” syndrome
- Dark chocolate may help alleviate fatigue (yay!)
- Article about a physicist who developed FMS in the early 1980s
- A press release from Hemispherx pharmaceuticals about their CFS medications, “Ampligen”, “Oragen”, and “Alferon N”
- Could CFS be caused by “electrical pollution”?
- An opinion piece about the possible relationship between the food you eat and chronic illness

About
A blog about my decade+ struggle with the medical community as I've sought treatment for fibromyalgia, Hashimoto's disease, and depression. I'm not really sure if I am truly "depressed", although being in pain every day is enough to make just about anyone pretty unhappy. The blog's title comes from the name of Paula Kamen's wonderful homage to chronically ill and tired women, All In My Head. My other weblog, about fun and fuzzy things, is located at The Blog Pound.
