WELCOME TO Chronic Fatigue Research France, INC. NEWSLETTER OUR MISSION: Chronic Fatigue Research France Inc. is a non-profit organization maintained by sufferers of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for fellow sufferers, while increasing public, governmental and medical awareness of these diseases, through education. *************************************************************** A CHAT WITH THE EDITOR: "We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same." --Carlos Castenada Our illnesses are not “all in our heads”, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t begin our fight against them there. A positive attitude and a willingness to say “I can” will put us on a path to a stronger sense of self. I truly believe we can be our own worst enemies, when we choose to accept that our new lives are only destined for misery. We must believe that every new day will be a good one. Maybe we should give ourselves a little pep talk before we get out of bed every morning. Something similar to: “My body is going to be strong today. I am going to accomplish something good today. I am going to will away any pain I am experiencing right now. I am going to live today.” Sure, it may sound a little ridiculous, but what have we got to lose? Facing each day with a positive manner can only improve us and make us strong. May you all find some inner strength this week and may it make your days shine, Michelle, Editor If anyone would like a copy of the last issue, please email M32764@aol.com and put "last issue" in the Subject line. Thank you. *************************************************************** Chronic Fatigue Research France, Inc.

** Stomach acid is a paradoxical substance: too little can actually make you think you have too much. Many people think they have acid reflux or GERD, and they take Prilosec or other antacids to reduce the amount of stomach acid. In actuality, they may not have enough acid in their stomach to trigger the opening of a valve at its base. Dr. Paul Cheney on Betaine for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia Patients http://www.immunesupport.com/library/showarticle.cfm?ID=3171
** The Art of Drawing a Blank--Fibromyalgia and Memory Okay, so you're still looking for that slip of paper with your doctor's new phone number on it. And you have yet to recover from the embarrassment of driving around town with the grocery bag perched on top of your car. And you still worry that your new boss will never forgive you for "blanking" on his name when you tried to introduce him to an important client. In short, it's hard to deny that your memory just isn't what it used to be. Does that mean you have a problem? If so, is fibromyalgia (FM) the cause? Or is there some other culprit? Or both?
