FOUNDER'S CORNER September 12, 2007    Critical New Piece of Fibromyalgia Puzzle Found? Pieces of the Fibromyalgia puzzle are slowly falling into place, and researchers are moving toward a unified theory that explains the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease. While the conviction among the majority of Fibromyalgia researchers is that FM represents a significant sensitization of the brain and spinal cord, some leading researchers have formed a theory that takes the "Sensitization Theory" a step further.   ARTICLES, EVENTS, SOLUTIONS Visit the library archives    Meet Karen Lee Richards - Making a Difference in the Lives of Those with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Karen Lee Richards is a hero in the world of FM & ME/CFS.

Send us a letter   WEEKLY INSPIRATION    "It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back." - Mick Jagger Passion for the Possible Humor has been defined as the passion for the possible, and humor is a delightful way of offering hope to others... Those who are skilled at using humor as a coping mechanism are able to focus on problems without becoming overly emotional, and they also report less stress. Indeed, humor seems to be essential to human thriving, whether the hoped-for outcome is trivial or cosmic. Humor brings us to the higher ground where hope lives. From Why Good Things Happen to Good People by Steven Post, PhD, and Jill Neimark, Broadway Books, New York, 2007.
