Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) - What is It?
When a chemical is particularly toxic or present in a high concentration, this appears to switch on an immune mechanism for identifying and reacting against chemicals - with a host of possible symptoms.

A Safety Guide to Cosmetics and Personal Care Products
"Major gaps in public health laws allow cosmetics companies to use almost any ingredient they choose." What's in the products you use, and are these ingredients potentially toxic? Search this 27,000-product safety database for the facts.

Missouri Considering Bill to Address FM Patients' Unmet Needs
If passed into law, a trailbreaking bill before the Missouri legislature would put state agencies to work on physician education, medication cost relief, and more.


  RESEARCH ABSTRACTS More new abstracts
  
Dilute bee venom at acu points can reduce pain significantly
Placebo controlled trial confirms bee venom injections at acupuncture points do relieve musculoskeletal pain - and significantly outperform classic acupuncture.

Four types of evidence for central nervous system alterations in FM
Researchers at McGill lay out the evidence now indicating FM patients have central nervous system alterations potentially contributing to symptoms. Suggest it's not a primary brain disorder but consequence of stressors.

FM is associated with "global central nervous system augmentation in sensory processing," - which may explain non-pain physical symptoms.

  WEEKLY INSPIRATION
  

"99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name."

  - Steven Wright



Many Hands Lighten Burdens
Chronic pain is a community concern as well as a personal concern....We share a responsibility to ourselves and the community as a whole to do our part. Whether we speak at a treatment center, lead a support group, further educate the community about chronic pain, or reach out to others who are in pain, we will be sharing the responsibility. We may never rid ourselves or anyone else of pain - but together we can share our responsibilities and learn to cope with our pain one day at a time.
