| Links I am not really sure about the wisdom of posting links. I've listed two on my bulletin board because I've been really impressed with them. Most sites have to be approached with an open but discerning mind (my own included).There are a lot of theories about FM and it's easy to buy into them if they seem to echo your own experiences . Even doctors for the most part are only expressing their own personal theories, there are not a lot of actual proven facts about FM. That having been said I will be listing some sites on this page. Fibromyalgia Resource Centre Links http://www.healingwell.com/fibro/ One of the most frustrating experiences with FM is having a doctor ask you to rate your pain level on a scale of one to ten and 90% of them will do this. I was always going through an inner dialogue trying to decide if pain levels that have come to be the norm for me were 2s or 5s and so on. So go to this link copy off the chart, take it to the doctors office, then just point to the number you're at and let him read what it means and you'll know you're both understanding exactly where you are. Pain Chart Good Reading This link has some of the best information I've come across, especially if you are trying to educate doctors, family,etc, Devin Starlanyl's http://www.sover.net/~devstar/ Jim Roache's Fibromyalgia Site http://www3.sympatico.ca/jfroache/fms2.html This site covers a great deal of territory. Jim Roache's Web Site Chat I didn't think I would be interested in chat sites and for the most part when you get to them there's no one there. This is a twenty-four hour operation, is well organized and you can meet some great people who also happen to have FM. Fibrohugs Chat http://www.fibrohugs.com/staticpages/index.php?page=20040301113002369 The Best Medicine Yes, humor is the best medicine; somedays I think it's the only one that's relatively reliable. It seemed to take quite sometime to find any sites that related to FM but here are two by Bill Jackson. I believe his site began with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and FMS crept in. You Know You Have... http://www.oocities.org/cfsdays/uhavecfs.htm Fibro Fog Follies http://www.oocities.org/cfsdays/follies.htm Just for smiles This site is not about FM; it's just to make you smile.(Has sound) Just Say Wow http://www.justsaywow.com/smile.htm Remedy Find http://www.remedyfind.com/ This is a relatively new site and sometimes I can't access it on the first try. It's does not recommend medications; what it does do is give people a forum for rating medications they have taken and ideally will eventually have entries from enough people so that a general idea can be established of how different medications are working for others with FMS. Other Resources are links which I reciprocate with. URL's I really hate hitting link buttons that don't work so if any of mine stop please let me know. mitsou23@yahoo.ca . |
