Friends of the CFIDS/FMS Ring


JAF Ministries

JAF Ministries, formerly known as Joni and Friends, is the disability outreach of Joni Eareckson Tada, and exists to accelerate Christian ministry in the disability community. Joni, a quadriplegic as a result of a diving accident in 1967, is an internationally known advocate for the disabled, radio host, author, conference speaker and mouth-artist. JAF Ministries is a non-profit organization, and is a member in good standing of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.
On a personal note, I have followed this ministry for years and on 8/31/95 was honored to have a letter about my life with CFIDS read on their radio program. I feel blessed to have them link with this web ring.

Animal Spirit Guides

Shamanism, the world’s oldest healing tradition, is found in all cultures on Earth. Shamans work with their allies, the animal spirits. Meet over 170 of these spiritual teachers. Diana, our Shaman friend, who has done all the things on our site that our paws, hooves, talons, feet and antenna couldn't do, has had CFIDS for over 10 years. Her walk down the CFIDS path led her to us....and we led her to knowledge greater than she ever dreamed of.

I first became ill with CFIDS in 1989 after a bout with cytomegalovirus. Due to pesticide poisoning in 1996, I now have MCS, seizures, angioedema, liver damage, brain damage, porphyria, etc. etc. etc. I truly symptahisize with anyone whose life has been constricted, restricted, or taken away by these diseases.

I have FMS. I thought this web ring would be a great way to receive and give support with others who share the same problems with coping with this syndrome.

I injured myself at work, turning a pt. I felt something at the moment it happened. It was severe pain. I went to rehab., a Dr.Int. Med., Neurosurgeon and all patted me on the back, like I was just hysterical, and told me I would be fine. I asked another neurosurgeon to see me. He listened to me and found I had a ruptured disc. Before that, going from Dr. to Dr. I was put on varies sorts of medications, I will not list as you all have been through the same thing. Unfortunetaly the pain worsened after the surgery. I had Myofacial Pain Syndrome, the pain was severe, the old meds. did not touch it. I was put on MS Contin for the pain and it at least made life bearable. I developed Fibromyalgia, pain shifted from my left side to all over. The AME Dr.'s do not believe that my pain is excrutiating and the pain meds are for the MPS. I have severe muscle spasms, trigger point injections did no good, now on Valium I can move better. I cannot stand or walk for more than 5 mins. or 20 or so feet. It is bac enough to hurt all of the time but why do I have to convince a Dr.(AME) that I have a severe problem and I did not before I had the injury. I lost my home but it has been almost 3 years and no settlement yet. These AME Dr.'s seem to have forgotten their H. Oath and money seems to talk more than anything.

I was diagnosed with FMS some time ago. I have been dealing with the symptoms for years and I am now trying to learn to cope with and survive them.
I would like to get to know others and how they manage to survive these things.

I have struggled with cfids/fms for 2 years and it had robbed my family and me of the productive and energectic/healthy human being that I once was. Being a health care practitioner, I am impressed with all the other professionals who have been debilitated by this woefully misunderstood illness. This next decade will see great changes in human understanding of the mysterious neuroimmune system that is so intricately related to the endocrine/gonadal systems. I am always learning and deeply value the knowledge, experience and emotional support of all of those who suffer from this tragic illness. (suggestions) I think the major crisis for people with cfids/fm is the lack of money that now has become a crisis for many of us due to the inability to work. I would like to see more supplements at the lowest prices possible. (email_addres) ALopezTCR@aol.com (url) http://
