Stopping a Pain Memory Before It Forms: A SPOT-ON Approach |  Nathan Fried |  Relief News

#Migraines #guilt #hurdles #copingstrategy

STUCK IN A GUILTY BUBBLE | VICKY (GUEST WRITER) |  Migraine Mantras  |  25 May 2018

Opening paragraph:

‘When suffering from a chronic illness, the feeling of guilt is one you can often find yourself getting a little too used to. Although, deep down you know things are not your fault or things are not always in your control, you cannot help that guilty feeling in the pit of your stomach when you are not always one hundred percent yourself. We all have bad days and that is completely okay, but it is accepting that it is okay that is the hurdle and celebrating the positive things.’

Weekly Digest | Mayo Clinic Social Media Network (MCSMN)|  28 May 2018


“After being, recently, introduced to this advocacy platform I can thoroughly recommend folks joining and making use of the Network to help empower themselves, and those of others.

I have been a fan of MAYO clinic for years so am really grateful to have access to such a great platform, especially not being a US resident but rather from UK.  However, FibroFlutters do have many readers from the US and helping to provide you with safe places to go to online holds as much importance to us as finding safe places for our own UK readers to go to.

There’s access to discussions, webinars & MCSMN Blog  depending on membership selection from Free, or, Premium.  Please note that e-patients and students receive a special rate.

I certainly look forward to using it more, and hopefully making a few new friends along the way.”

Health Hats  |  You say you want a revolution  |  By Danny van Leeuwen  |  27 May 2018

Excerpt:

‘One of the things that Victor said was that reformers are important, but healthcare is not designed for health and wellness, care and kindness. The entrenched forces will not fundamentally change with reform. It needs a revolution, a patient revolution. I’ve never been good at putting other people’s labels on myself – I don’t know if I’m a reformer or a revolutionary. During my professional and now activist career, I’ve seen myself as a catalyst for change – sustainable change that continues when you’re gone.’

The Psychosocial Impact of Rosacea: Should Dermatologists Be Concerned? | Suzanne Bujara | Dermatology Advisor  | 22 May 2018

Excerpt:

‘Rosacea breeds low self-esteem, which in turn leads to social isolation.1 Historically, rosacea was thought to be a sign of psychiatric illness or alcoholism, which only contributes to existing poor perceptions of the disease.1 Anxiety associated with rosacea creates a vicious cycle, as embarrassment tends to exacerbate the physical blushing associated with the disorder.1’

Humira does not improve aortic vascular inflammation in psoriasis patients  | Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania  |  18 May 2018 

I have heard many of my fellow Psoriasis Warriors who love this medication for their psoriasis as it works wonders, apparently, so this is a blow regarding future treatment for ‘aortic vascular inflammation’,… but not overall. (my opinion of course but I’m not a scientist!).  Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that is associated with increased vascular inflammation.

Excerpt:

‘Since the rise of the opioid crackdown, more and more people just like you are seeking alternative pain relief. Dietary changes, supplements, and electronic pain relief devices are among the most popular choices for drug-free pain relief.

Benepod offers electronic pain management in a small, convenient, and affordable unit.’

How to gain control over #osteoarthritis #OA and keep it

Get and Keep Control of Your RA | Rheumatoid Arthritis Blog | Arthritis Foundation  |  14 May 2018 


Get and Keep Control of Your RA

When your disease is under control, you may be tempted to stop taking your medication. But doing so is NOT a good idea.

Advice from Arthritis Foundation


Excerpt:

‘Most doctors begin hard-hitting treatment as soon as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is diagnosed. Research shows that even in the first months after diagnosis, joint damage can occur if the disease is not treated aggressively, says Paul Howard, MD, a rheumatologist at Arthritis Health in Scottsdale, Ariz.’

Every morning and evening I was posting several links to a variety of online newspapers and thought that maybe I could post twice a day from here, our website/blog, Morning and Evening Post instead.

This is to ensure that all the news and stories go out to everyone that follows us across the social media platforms that we have profiles/accounts.

Here’s a few links to my favourite online newspapers for finding a variety of health related news from other Chronic Illness Bloggers & Warriors, for up to date news about health conditions such as latest research papers or people sharing hints and tips about how they cope day-to-day.

Let us help them by showing our support by sharing the news and stories that they share.

If you publish a health related paper.li or other health news magazine/paper that isn’t listed and you would like it to be, please contact me – Carole Sian at fibroflutters@gmail.com or use the form below and let me know, always happy to help 🙂
