Write in Campain

Now I have 2 local newspapers going to do an article on Fibromyalgia. The sad thing is that the last newspaper that I called their receptionist has Fibromyalgia and the Asst. Editor knew nothing about it and had never heard of it. But before the recep. transferred me I gave her my number and also this website to come to for support. So maybe We can help her also. I felt like telling the Editor when she asked if they could use me to put a local face to the disease I wanted to tell her that her own employee has it and needs people to understand. But I could not do that because it is not my place to tell people. And besides the way the world is right now the recept. probably is worried about losing her job. So maybe we can do 2 things at one time. Get the word out and also help a fellow fibromite.

My local hospital does not seem to interested in doing anything to help but we will see what we can do.

Gentle Hugs to all of you

I have been dealing with kids stuff. I know this is off topic, but my sweet daughter is going to an academic bowl. they made it to the finels. I am so happy. That is part of why I have not got any writing done. but I will change that today. I have a goal of getting out at least 3 email.

And Mydragonfly I only sent one email today everyone else I have called on the telephone and besides that my youngest is almost 14 so she is in school all day and besides that she is old enough that I do not have to take care of her. I miss those days though.

I have to do more housecleaning and then go plant a couple of bushes before they die on me.

I have sent email to the fallowing places

Montel, Today Show, Dr.Oz, Goodmorning America, World News with Charles Gibson, Primetime, 20/20, Nightline, This week, & ABC News Specials.

I will do more this weekend or Monday. I hope that others start sending out emails.

As soon as Monday comes I will start emailing the same places. I did put a call in to Steve Wilkos show I am not very sure if they will help or not but I figured it was at least a shot to try. I had called NFA but they never returned my call so I will wait until Monday afternoon and I will try back again. I will not be on this weekend I have that Ann. Party so I will talk to you on Monday.

Very gentle hugs to all and a good weekend.

This was on his website for suggestions for future shows. However, I heard that his show will be going off the air, I don't know when, because his MS is starting to flare and it's taking it's toll on him and everyone around him.

I think it's a great idea about getting the word out there. I wish there were support groups around here. Even exercise groups for Fibro sufferers would help.

I love gardening and went out this beautiful morning to cut back some old plants from last year. I lasted 20 minutes before the full pain hit me. Another three days will be wasted in bed.

Let me know if I could help.

May your troubles be less,
Your blessing be more,
And nothing but happiness come through your door!
