 Don't be SAD this Winter
We've suspected for some time that Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS patients suffer disproportionately from seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Our recent Question of the Week only proved the point, with 81% of respondents admitting to bouts with the winter blues. Many of us have found relief in bright light therapy over the years, but the truth is that light box compliance tends to wane after a month or so.

"I'm spending a year dead for tax reasons."
- Douglas Adams
The Choice for a New Beginning
Many of us with chronic pain have been faced with a new beginning and a new direction. Our injuries have dictated that our lives in some shape or form be altered or changed. Many have shouted out in anger, "I want my old life back." While others have come to realize this truly could be a new beginning. This can be a chance to move in directions never dreamed possible. A chance to use the many talents we have been unaware of...the beginning of a new way of life. One where we can know ourselves and others like never before.
From Living With Chronic Pain One Day At A Time by Mark Allan Zabawa.
