And a very warm welcome to those of you who have subscribed since the last issue! :-) This issue of the Sleepydust Emagazine brings you more news from the ME/CFS & FMS communities, and lots more interesting stuff too... If you would like to learn more about the basics of ME/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome then be sure to check out the 'Spotlight' section on the causes of ME/CFS. It certainly makes for interesting reading! Plus there's another cool freebie for you - this time it's software to help protect your computer from nasty viruses and attacks. Look out for it in the 'Helpful Or Interesting Stuff' section. And, as always, we want to hear from you! This week, we're getting controversial... it's all about Graded Exercise Therapy. We've all heard about GET - while some doctors believe it's great for treating ME/CFS, others say it can be harmful and should be approached with caution. Nice and confusing! So how about we bring it down to grass roots level, and share our own experiences of Graded Exercise Therapy with each other? There's nothing like first hand experience, after all. So if you've tried Graded Exercise Therapy for your ME/CFS or FMS, then we'd love to hear from you. Whether your experiences have been good, bad, or neutral - your experiences might well help someone else who's considering it. So don't forget to take a look at the 'Get Stuck In' section to.... err..... get stuck in! Hoping you enjoy this week's issue! Wishing you the best in health, Claire Spotlight On ...The Causes Of ME/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome...Experts and researchers seem to suggest that there are numerous possible causes of ME/CFS.
Helpful Or Interesting Stuff...Yoga For Fatigue - Book ReviewOne thing I noticed when I first started researching ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia treatments was the amount of times that yoga came up. Read my full review about a yoga book here...
Some Free Stuff For You...Protect Your Computer From Being Attacked!It's a sad fact... it's the Wild, Wild West out there in cyber space. There are lots of nasty viruses out there that can mess up your computer, and everyone you contact too. And when you have ME/CFS or FMS, your computer can often become your connection to the big wide world. So it makes sense to protect your computer. In fact, in this day and age, it's a must. So here's another cool freebie for you... You may have heard of 'Norton'. They have become one of the established leaders in providing software that protects your computer from nasty viruses. And now you can get their 'security scan' software for free! The free software detects viruses and internet worms on your computer and gets rid of them for you. You can get the Norton Security Scan software (and lots of other cool stuff) for free in the Google Pack. (You get to choose the software you wish to download, so make sure you tick the 'Norton Security Scan' check box.)Just click on the Google Pack link below to download Norton Security Scan for free:
Get Stuck In...This is where Sleepydust wants to hear from you... What's Your Verdict On..... Graded Exercise Therapy for ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia? Have you tried Graded Exercise Therapy? Can you share your experiences with Sleepydust, to help other sufferers decide whether it's right for them? Did you feel it helped you? Harmed you? Did it make any difference at all? There's nothing like reading feedback from someone who's had first-hand experience. Reading a review from someone who's actually been there and done that, can be 1000 times more helpful. But this is the kind of input that can only come from the sufferers themselves... ... you. So here's your opportunity to help others by sharing your own experiences of Graded Exercise Therapy. This is your chance to let rip. Rant. Rave. Tell Sleepydust what you think... Share your opinions on Graded Exercise Therapy here...
