Poll Is the Planning Ahead "Muscle" Broken with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Fibromyalgia
This is me also. Everybody I keep in my life understands that all socializing "plans" are hopeful tentatives. And by socializing, I mean going next door to hang out with my neighbor, or someone coming over for a maximum of 2 hours. I've completely simplified my home life, so the only list... -
5 Genes Predict What Kind of Diet and Exercise is Best For Your Body?
This was fun! I was also missing rs1799883, so I followed all of the possibilities below it. I either lose weight on any diet, or lose 2.5x weight on a low fat diet. I do lose weight when I eat low carb, but only if I'm also careful about fats. And I can eat quite a lot of carbohydrate if I...- madie

Do you meditate? TM or MF?
IMHO meditation is mind-training. As we learn to hold ourselves in a silent space while our thoughts whirl around, we experience that we are not our thoughts. This is the beginning of profound changes. You want to choose a form of meditation that you will actually do. You might experiment...- madie

Fibromyalgia Immune Blood Test Going Mainstream?
My doctor OK'd this test for me! In fact he's pretty excited about it. I should get it on Saturday and do the blood draw on Monday. Then it's 7 working days to results, which are mailed to the doctor.- madie

Small Wins!
I bought a book of stretches about 6 months ago and finally felt up to trying it a week ago. I can do it! I do a short section at a time, maybe 4 times a day, and it feels great. -
Raw Food Dilemma
Some people have to start with very small amounts, like a tablespoon with each meal. You might also notice that bloating happens with only certain bacterial cultures, or only certain vegetables.- madie

Resource An Overview of Pacing and the Energy Envelope Hypothesis
I've never used a HR monitor. I'm liking the idea of wrist models. If anybody has specific recommendations, please share them. I saw that Iris wasn't sure about her daughter's model. I have insomnia, and am interested in the sleep tracking also, if anybody knows about that. I don't have a...- madie

Sinus Problems
My 2 cents is that it's worth going off dairy completely for a month with any kind of ENT congestion or swelling issue. Because it's not a medical intervention, you don't need a doctor, and it only takes a month. As soon as do the heavy dairy test day, you'll know if it's a piece of your... -

Should I or Shouldn't I? The Chronic Illness Dilemma Poll
I've found my balance point, so the suggestions aren't dilemmas for me. I lost all of my support groups except for my own children and 3 friends many years ago, so over-socializing isn't a problem. I'm solitary by nature, and when I want to be around people I go read at a bookstore or library...- madie
