Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Fibromyalgia Treatment With over 10 million women affected with Fibromyalgia Syndrome in the prime of their life many suffer and struggle from FMS for years before being correctly diagnosed. This debilitating disease affects women and men in an approximate ratio of 20:1. The problem begins between 20 – 30 years of age and symptoms usually appear between 20 - 55 years of age. Because there are no laboratory or x-ray examinations to physically prove the presence of this disease many are convinced by their doctors that it is “all in their heads” making the symp...

What are "covered services"? Your health insurance policy is an agreement between you and your insurance company. The policy lists a package of medical benefits such as tests, drugs and treatment services. The insurance company agrees to cover the cost of certain benefits listed in your policy. These are called "covered services." Your policy also lists the kinds of services that are not covered by your insurance company. You have to pay for any uncovered medical care that you receive.

On a recent trip to North America, I was astonished to see the media circus -- the focus and attention of the world - surrounding one kiss: the kiss between Vice President Al Gore and his wife Tipper during the Democratic Convention. In a recent U.S. based global publication, I read an article entitled, "Gore's kiss is so '60s - and probably fake." In fairness to the writer of this article, he is entitled to his own opinion: for that I do not judge him. I guess what bothers me, and what I question is, "Why the hoopla?" Oh right ... I forgot... We are in the arena of politics in The U...

we all have heard the old cliché, "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." So how do we feel about love on the other side of the fence? Is love on the other side of the fence better? In some cases, it is, but in many cases, it is not. I have encountered many people, over the years, who find themselves in a new relationship after searching in greener pastures. These same people, however, eventually miss their old partner whom they know, in their heart of hearts, was the one for them. I recently read a letter, penned to Ann Landers by "Heavy-Hearted In Philly," w...

by Paul Mauchline We all know people who have really unrealistic expectations of relationships. So many hopeless romantics believe that love is the solution to life's problems. Many people confuse lust with love, over and over again. There are people who change lovers often, because they thrive on the excitement of the initial stages of love. These are just some of the more exaggerated examples that come to mind. Many of us have our own erroneous expectations about love. These expectations can set us up for disappointment down the road. What we believe about relationships affects our atti...

We all get more cynical about women as we get older. Really what the pain is, simply the dying pain of an illusion that we cultivate as younger men. The illusion serves a purpose (Mother Nature's). Tell you how I got over it. I started paying for their time with cash instead of "emotional currency". Once that occurred I began to see that I was receiving back the same type of flattery and feathers (that I was now getting for my currency of cash) that I previously had received when paying in emotional currency units. For awhile this confused me. I resolved for a time that just whores were ...

In most cultures over the ages the patriarchy have repressed women to the extent that we are no longer in touch with our deepest primordial selves. Our instinctual natures, the seat of our souls has been under siege and it's high time we work on getting back in touch with the wild woman within. I am not implying that we must toss the baby carriage

NEW YORK (WOMENSENEWS)--At first, four women dressed in black formed a line on the wide, white steps of the New York Public Library, 15 feet in front of one of the guardian lions. In addition to black pants, black shirts and black jackets, some wore black head scarves--to demonstrate solidarity with Muslim women who have been assaulted or harassed in blind reprisals for the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks. Even in the aftermath of terrorist bombings, these peace activists deliver no speeches, chant no slogans and invite no male participants. And, they say, these are precisely the elements that ma...

My father has always been a generous man, but when I was a child, he set an unforgettable example of generosity that has remained with me ever since. Dad spent a lot of time working outside, and one icy winter afternoon, he bought a brand-new pair of coveralls. Money was tight, but his old coveralls were so worn they didn’t keep out the freezing wind. As Dad drove home, he saw a man with no coat walking by the side of the road. Without hesitating, Dad pulled over and gave the homeless man his new coveralls. He quietly used his old ones for the rest of the winter. Christians sometime...
