The b5 Media Science and Health Channel has a theme day every month. This month I missed it, due to some problems with my commute home from work, and a teensy bit of drama (we all know what that can do to a PWC!) Anyways, Angela at Breastfeeding 1-2-3 hosted it this month, and I have been doing a bit of reading on some really great posts, this led me to feeling just a little bit left out. So I figured, better late than never. So here are 10 posts from 2006, that I like just a little bit more that the other ones.
Can Pets Develop CFS? You will be introduced to Charlie (the family dog), and learn a little bit about why a Veterinary Clinic in Italy, really believes why a pet can suffer from CFS.
There Is No Right Direction For CFS Recovery Here you will be introduced to my latest symptom, and where I discover that progress is not linear. I mention (yet again) how important it is for me, to walk the trails near my house, and what happened when I discovered a new path, and how it relates to what I am going through at this moment.
Will Light Therapy Work For Patients With CFS Since I work for a company that specializes in lighting, I thought I would try and research the field, a bit. I found some interesting information. And while I don’t believe that this treatment will work for me (being light sensitive), I am confident that it can help others who suffer with CFS. Although if my company ever felt like donating a light box to me, I wouldn’t turn it down. I collaborated on this with someone who actually knows what he is talking about (regarding light boxes), so you can completely trust this information to be accurate.
A PWC Can Do More Than Wish On Stars- He Can Reach Them This is my post about Keith Jarrett. Not only is Mr Jarrett a PWC that I hold as an example of how to live my life, he is a musical genius (those who read this blog frequently, will know that I admire geniusness- especially of the musical variety). Enjoy the video. His trio ROCKS!
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Super Balls - A Comparison This is my very favorite commercial. It was featured last year as one of the Sony Bravia TV ads. Talk about genius! The music is fabulous, and the production…well, the production is exhausting just thinking about how they pulled it off. But mostly, I think its a great representation of what its like to live with CFS (the ups and downs).
The Single Gal’s Guide to CFIDS A list of 10 things that you can do, to make living alone with CFS just a little bit more bearable.
10 Reasons To Make Your Bed Now you didn’t think I was going to leave out this one! Its just what it says it is….10 reasons to make your bed, every day.
The Mind Body Connection Just a little post, about my experiences exploring meditation, and how it can help reduce a whole lot of stress.
No More Bad Hair Days For The PWC This year I learned that your hair can fall out, due to really high fevers. Its about my struggle against battling the problems vs. cutting it all off (I decided to cut it all off). There is a little something extra for the knitters out there (like Jennie).
The 50% Rule Something we can all relate to. My doctor, is always telling me that I need to do less. I always resist, because I have done my time (doing less), I am very much ready for a full life now. And so I push myself. But there are times that I need to be reminded, that I should not be doing so much.
There you have it, my list of favorite 2006 posts. Hope you had fun reliving the last year with me. Please go to Breastfeeding 1-2-3 to look at the summary of all of the “best of 2006″ posts.
