This week I came upon a fascinating website with great information for people with Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. We’re always interested in simple ways to improve our lives and health.

What caught my attention was the Health portion and a timely artcle about how we can control our moods by what we eat.

Now I ask you, is that even possible?

I hope you’re curious enought to take a look at –

I’m so sorry that the broadcast today is a bit late. It couldn’t be helped. The title of today’s show hints at a bold and fascinating truth, but it’s really hard to hint at something so magnanimous. So real. So revolutionary. Folks, this is one of the most important broadcasts I’ve done so far.

Recently I felt a bit under the weather with the reoccurrence of some viruses raising their pesky little heads. That did not make me happy. Here’s why and here’s what I did about it…

This last year and more recently the last few months, I’ve been working too hard and not taking care of myself. I’ve been:

• Writing and endeavoring to get the Health Matters Show off the ground,
• Trying to provide excellent service and information for you,
• Putting together some products that will help you and others begin to get well
• Finishing my book, From the Floor… Looking Up.- and -
• Working with private ELT clients helping them recover, too.

The long and short of this tale, I’ve been working too hard…

As you probably have guessed, this week’s emphasis is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome here on the Health Matters Show blog. That is appropriate and I’ll tell you why.

When I got so terribly sick in 1990 and could hardly walk or sit up in a chair (away from my bed for more than a few minutes at the time), my doctor ran a bunch of blood tests to find out what was wrong with me.

That’s when we both discovered…

It’s been a long time since I’ve read the incredible work of Laura Hillenbrand. I recently found it posted on the Internet site listed below.

I hope you enjoy her luscious, nauseating, powerful, total-fear-in-weakness account of her encounter with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Enjoy this poignant rendition, but be prepared for its honesty.

It’s nice to see someone put up an explanatory video about CFS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Enjoy and be sure to share it with your friends.

Because you are figuring out
1) why you got sick,
2) what made you ill,
3) the significance of when (time period), and
4) how the disesase state manifested in your life, you’re constructing your own road map to major questions about your illness and the best answers for maintaining your long term health!!

Take the time to do this right. Figure out these questions, come up with your best answers and uncover the most important keys to empower yourself.

Why, What, When and How.

For 3 days we’ve been delving into some really big health questions. You’ve been working to determine the question-and-answers’ meaning in your life and the overall significance of being ill.

Each of the questions is important, but Question #4, How?, may be the most important one yet.

How did you get sick?

The third big question in this series of figuring out your illness is when did you get ill with Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

When did your health turn the corner?

(And why is when so important?)

Good health is something you used to have? And you want to be healthy again, correct?

Those are valid questions for anyone with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or any other chronic, long term illness.
