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... This week we're asking Sleepydusters to help us raise awareness through our free video. What's great is that it's really easy to show your support. You see, our aim is to get the free ME/CFS video onto YouTube's 'Top Rated' page. Yep I know... it's a tall order. But we can get there with your help! Every vote counts. Your vote can make a real difference. It just takes a couple of minutes to do and it's easy. All you need to do is register on YouTube (which is free) and cast your vote. And then that's it: You can sit back knowing you've helped Sleepydust take one step further in spreading the word about living with ME/CFS. So please be sure to check out the 'Get Stuck In!' section in this issue, for how you can show your support! Hoping you enjoy this week's issue, everyone. Wishing you the best in health, Claire Spotlight On ...Pacing - What's It All About?Pacing is one of the most commonly accepted ways of managing ME/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. But what is it all about? Check this page out - it's quite a long read, but well worth it, I think.
Helpful Or Interesting Stuff...The Chronic Fatigue Diet - Book ReviewAs a ME/CFS sufferer, you depend even more on filling your body with immune-system enhancing, energy-boosting nutrients - so your diet is reeeeeeeaally important... Read my full review about a CFS diet book here...
Do You Get That Tired-But-Wired Feeling?When it comes to ME/CFS and FMS, I believe that de-stressing and relaxation is crucial to our well-being. I got so sick of that 'tired-but-wired' feeling that I looked into meditation techniques. I ended up trying loads of different meditation and relaxation CDs, and wasn't really impressed with any of them. I can't remember how I stumbled across Holosync, but I'm glad I am. The downside is that it's quite pricey (be warned). But as someone who places a great deal of importance on de-stressing, and as someone who has tried loads of different relaxation CDs, Holosync wins hands down. Get Stuck In...This is where Sleepydust wants to hear from you... Please Help Raise Awareness... Vote!As you may or may not know, the free Sleepydust ME/CFS video is now on YouTube. But now we need YOUR help! We need your votes! YouTube is a great place to raise the profile of ME/CFS. It has become one of the most visited sites in the world. And we're hoping that our free educational ME/CFS video will really help to spread the word about the condition. And ideally, we'd like to get onto YouTube's 'Top Rated' page. But that's an awful lot of votes that we need! So here's the deal: Help us to get this video seen by more people! It can't be easier and it will take seconds to do. Just... ... head on over to our video page on YouTube ... .... and give us a 5 star rating (check out the small red stars underneath)! The more 5-star votes we get, the higher we can raise the profile about ME/CFS, the more people we can inform. So please take a few seconds to vote. And if you'd like to leave a comment then all the better! If you would like to help even more, please ask your friends and family to vote for the video too. Heck - tell everyone you know! Get voting guys! Let's spread the word, raise the profile of ME/CFS, and get the WORLD to notice! :-) Click here to visit the Sleepydust Video on YouTube...
