Tuesday-Newsday #35

Tuesday-Newsday time! Today I’ve got info on Chronic Pain, Weather & Chronic Pain, Pain Rx, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Fibromyalgia. The last item is under the banner of Managing Your Chronic Pain. Written by Gabrielle Gawne-Kelnar, the post is called, “Healing Your Chronic Pain And Finding Relief (Part 1).”

Let Me Know: If you’d like me to watch for articles on your pain condition as they appear in the news, just drop me a note in the comments section below.

WARNING:  My goal is to provide the most up-to-date news I can, which you can then take to your personal doctor and debate the merits of before you try it. I do not endorse any of the docs, treatments, info, and meds in anything I post nor can I guarantee they are all effective, especially not for everyone. I always include the citation, source, or website so you know where it came from. As is the case with any health info, ALWAYS get your doctor's opinion first!
