Chronic Pain Article Roundup
I’m reading a handful of different blogs at the moment and would like to share some of the best posts I’ve read lately.
ChronicChick’s Speedbumps and MS Awareness : “This morning on Fox and Friends Sunday, Janice Dean (their Weather Woman Extraordinaire) came forward to talk about her life dealing with Multiple Sclerosis. Timed appropriately with the start of Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week, Janice’s Journey began by showing Janice discussing her two and 1/2 years since her diagnosis and a terrific explanation of the disease by an Emory University MD.”
Happy Fibro Family’s Fibro Moments : “Sufferers of fibromyalgia are slower than the general population to respond when asked to recall details. Surprise, surprise… The following link from the Journal of Clinical Rheumatology shows the results of memory recall tests that were administered to fibromyalgia patients.”
IC Disease’s Help for Skin Irritation and Urine Burn: “For many women with Interstitial Cystitis, scented soaps and bubble baths can be a big problem that causes vaginal itching and burning. For some IC patients, like myself, if I soak too long in a tub with scented bubble bath my IC symptoms will flare and I will have terrible bladder pain as well as vaginal pain.”
Anxiety’s Stop Racing Thoughts in their Tracks : “Do you ever experience this? You want to go to sleep, but you can’t because your mind keeps racing and you cannot get it to quiet down? If so, you might want to try one of these things to help put your mind at ease”
