FEATURED ARTICLE April 2, 2008 Q&A with ME/CFS & FM Research Reporter Cort Johnson (From Mar 7 Chat) See why readers say Cort "brings technical information down to a level most of us need to better understand the many issues of ME/CFS/FM." And how we can "unite to persuade our governments to focus on research." ARTICLES, EVENTS, SOLUTIONS More new articles The Vitamin B-12 & Fibromyalgia Connection In the search for a unifying theory of ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia, two models have emerged. B-12 - a complicated and misunderstood vitamin - is integral to both of them, and may hold a key to better health for many. Pain level in Fibromyalgia linked to neurotransmitter glutamate Elevated glutamate levels are found in FM patients; this study links pain reduction to glutamate reduction in the brain's pain-interpreting center (insula) & points to a potential biomarker. Your Immune System and How it Works A clear and simple explanation of the immune system - Dr. William Collinge lays out the roles of killer cells, helper cells, cytokines, antibodies, and much more, as part of a larger system he calls "the healing system." Announcing a Live Chat Q&A with Dr. William Collinge - Friday, April 25, from 3 to 4 pm Pacific Time William Collinge, PhD, MPh, is a pioneer in helping Fibromyalgia patients and their families cope with the stresses of chronic illness. He's an expert in how to integrate psychological, spiritual, and physical therapies in healing. RESEARCH ABSTRACTS More new abstracts FM patients get less stage 2 sleep - and duration correlates with pain Sleep researchers at three universities conclude that measurement of time in stage 2 sleep may be predictive of pain level in Fibromyalgia. 'Dopamine Theory' doctor finds another piece of the FM puzzle Dr. Patrick B. Wood, MD (Featured in the DVD "Show Me Where It Hurts") identifies another FM pain-related central nervous system clue.
