A Hummingbirds Guide to ME Newsletter - June 2007

[Guest guest]

Since most of the questions I have been asked about ME, ME/CFS, and CFS

can be answered at this website, thought I would repost this newsletter.

best wishes

Hello and welcome to the 'A Hummingbirds Guide to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis'

e-newsletter for June 2007

 

I hope this newsletter finds you and yours doing as well as possible.

 

I have a few new projects and updates to tell you about this month.

 

-----

 

You can now view an 'A Hummingbirds Guide to M.E.' channel on YouTube!

 

I've only made a few short films about M.E. (and the difference between M.E.

and CFS) so far, but there will be more to come over the next few months.

 

Each film is also available in an audio format (as an mp3 file) for those who

can't watch video recordings due to illness etc.

 

Titles available so far include:

 

1. Why 'CFS' is a wastebasket diagnosis  03:24

2. 'CFS' harms everyone, not just M.E. sufferers  03:25

3. How does Myalgic Encephalomyelitis affect my life?  06:17

 

 

Each film is under 10 MB, and around 3 - 6 minutes long.

For more information see the Video and Audio page at:

http://www.ahummingbirdsguide.com/topicaudioandvideo.htm

 

Happy viewing! (or listening!)

The Myalgic Encephalomyelitis symptom list has been updated

 

An updated version of The Ultra-comprehensive Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

Symptom List (and the 2 page summary of the list) is now available.

See: http://www.ahummingbirdsguide.com/themesymptomlist.htm

Special book offer

 

The Clinical and Scientific Basis of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, edited by

Byron Hyde, M.D., is now available for just $49.95. (This offer also includes

free shipping within North America.)

If you buy just one book on M.E. make it this one! For more information about

this book see:

http://www.ahummingbirdsguide.com/hydetextbookreview.htm

 

See: http://www.nightingale.ca for purchasing details, or to make a donation

to the Nightingale Research Foundation. (Hands down the best use of any money

that you want to put towards M.E. research and advocacy, in my opinion. Dr

Byron Hyde M.D. is not just the world's preeminent ME authority, he also has the

GUTS so many others lack and so is a real force to be reckoned with!)

That's it for this month!

 

All the best, as always, in your ongoing battle with M.E. (or your loved

one's battle with M.E.), until next month,

 

Jodi Bassett

" The term 'fatigue' and 'chronic fatigue' never existed in this entity

until it was put into [the name] in 1988.The whole concept of fatigue has warped

our understanding of this illness. "    Byron Hyde, M.D.
