The Global Resources section of 

follows the prose which calms people reading the book or with loved ones. Sometimes the prose leaves readers laughing out loud.

I suggest that you read that Global Resources section, too, and several times.

You might be surprised to learn of some cutting-edge practitioners and treatments that can help you.

One of my readers accessed the very doctor I recommended for treating fibromyalgia. Let's look at her recent update, which she permits me to share with you:

New post on Fibro Buddies 9 year Guaifenesin Protocol progress report by Laurie Sussman by Christine I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia back in 1997 after a horrible car accident. My neurologist at the time sent me for every test in the book and then some, before she made the diagnosis.  I struggled with teaching for the next 10 years, sometimes wearing braces on my arms or back to keep upright, and sometimes without full vision in one eye from the fibromyalgia.

When someone asked me if I knew anything about how to ease the pain and other problems of fibromyalgia, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), and as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), I responded, "Yes, I know of two therapies that work. People who've asked me for the information and/or read the EMPOWER Yourself book thank me for having shared the information with them."

The person before me was startled. That reaction is typical of people who are relieved to learn that the answers they need to many different medical or mental health issues are covered in the prose and Global Resources section of

Tomorrow night the Yom Kipur holiday begins. I'll join other Jews in begging GOD for worldwide mercy, forgiveness and patience. The High Holiday season is a focused time of introspection and resolve.

Looking forward to other upbeat developments, I'm pleased to be able to share some good news with a population that has been terribly under served by the medical and wider worlds:

The day that many fibromyalgia sufferers have been waiting for has finally come. Fibromyalgia is real and is now recognized as such by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the National Center for Health Statistics.

Effective October 1, 2015, fibromyalgia has its own diagnosis code that is included in the list of official diagnostic codes used by the U.S. healthcare industry including doctors, insurance companies and government agencies. ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification) is the most recent revision to the list of these codes that now includes fibromyalgia. Previously, doctors had to use a general code called “myalgia and myositis, unspecified.”

My vacation time is charging up my batteries: I've helped a young man to receive some seriously needed home services and necessary information about his orphan disease (it's included in the book's Global Resources section). I helped a woman with Fibromyalgia, Spinal Stenosis and a few other medical issues, plus I  helped other peope who simply happened to interact with me for other reasons.

I'm raring to go forward with fun! I've enjoyed some theater, a concert, get-togethers with friends and other good times.

Last night I enjoyed a community-wide Mission from GOD Mexican Burritos Dinner at a local soup kitchen. Our pre-paid meals supported the local soup kitchen that feeds people so poor that they lack proper clothing and medical care, job skills, food, etc. It made a terrific prelude to PURIM.

​It was fun. I've attached 2 photos to show me and my dinner. The heaping helpings were home made and delicious. I'd never had cashew salsa before and it was OUTSTANDING!



The crowd held local professors, chemists, writers, other professionals and non-professionals, plus children of all ages squashed up together, with everybody having a good time as we bounced along to salsa music, Jewish music and some hand-clapping.

 

Here's a look at my dinner (first time I've shared a food photo online).

 

 

Purim is about to happen. Here's ​A Purim Primer of Facts You Need to Know​!

Fun promotes inner and outer health. When your mind and heart are happy, your body can heal. And your emotions can, too.

Healing is multi-faceted. When a troubling medical or other issue no longer dominates your life, when you choose to indulge in fun despite enduring difficulty or pain, you are healing in many ways. "Cured" is something altogether different.

As I say  in my pubic appearances, "Coping with a medical or mental health challenge beats the alternative!"

Celebrate life. Find fun things to think about, say and do. I dare you!
