FEDUPWITHFATIGUE.COM’S FIBROMYALGIA GIFT GUIDE
How did this happen? It seems like it was just yesterday that I was walking around in shorts and flipflops, swatting away the mosquitoes and complaining about the humidity. Somehow, someway, “the most wonderful time of the year” is here! With Christmas just a few days away, I thought it would be fun to create a fibromyalgia gift guide with some of my favorite products just in case you or your loved ones are looking for some holiday shopping inspiration.So, here are my top picks this year
We are sending a warm Christmas greeting to yourself and all of your Members. We are hoping 2016 might be the year of a cure – but we have a feeling that pigs might fly before they find a cure.
Nevertheless we will continue to fight for research funds for Folly Pogs Fibromyalgia Research UK if we are to make any headway at all. As a Christmas appeal we are asking all groups and members to consider doing some carol singing among friends and neighbours in the hope we will raise some money to our next step on the research ladder.

Earthing advocates proclaim that we've lost our connection to Mother earth - not in some spiritual way - but to the negatively charged electrons the earth provides. They assert that when we lost our connection to our natural ground (the earth) we lost an important inflammation fighter at the same time.Could they be right? Or is this just more new-agey hype?
Check it out and let us know what you think

5 Herbs That Improve Memory
Memories contain the story of our lives. We like to reminisce about the wonderful moments we share with our loved ones, the exciting milestones that define us and our unique achievements. Memory and learning go hand-in-hand to assist us in our professional lives where we need to recall our knowledge to get crucial tasks done.Nowadays, the stresses of modern living seem to come together as a conspiracy to impair our memory functions. High blood pressure, poor thyroid function, drug interactions and occasional bouts of forgetfulness cause our minds to go blank when we need to recall stored memories the most. We just have too much to deal with at any given time.
Nature infuses us with life in so many ways, and we can turn to the following five herbs to help us in revitalizing our minds to take back those memories and make them vivid as they always were:
1. Gotu Kola
2. Gingko Biloba
3. Bacopin
4. Blessed Thistle
5. Rosemary

How Fibromyalgia Impacts Your Family
When you are suffering, when you are in pain, when you walk around exhausted all the time, it is very easy to get wrapped up in yourself and your own suffering.
It is easy to center your thinking on how your life has been affected by fibromyalgia – this is completely normal human behavior. But I feel it is important to remember that we are not the only ones who are suffering.
Our family and our loved ones are also very much affected by this terrible illness. They often have to make sacrifices to help us. They suffer because we suffer. It would be unhealthy for our relationships with them to become consumed with our own suffering, and not recognize theirs.

Fatigue & Brain Fog: Could You Have a B-12 Deficiency?
Vitamin B-12 (cobalamin) is an essential nutrient, meaning it is required for normal body functioning but cannot be produced by the body. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the B-12 our bodies need through the food we eat and/or dietary supplements.
A vitamin B-12 deficiency is relatively common - thought to affect approximately 15% of the general population. That percentage goes much higher among people with chronic illness.
Because so many people are deficient in B-12 - particularly people with fibromyalgia and ME/CFS - and because a number of FM and ME/CFS specialists recommend high doses of B-12 for their patients, ProHealth's founder, Rich Carson, set out to develop the most potent B-12 supplement available.
