More On Fibromyalgia Associations, Information And Special Links Hi! My Name Is "Dexter" I Want To Share With You More Information On Fibromyalgia Associations and Also Some Of My Favorite Links..... Informative and Fun.....Try Them Now! Information On Some More Recommended Fibromyalgia Associations There are two fibromyalgia associations that I would recommend highly for their valuable information and support. I have had membership with both at different times and the small cost of membership was well worth the money. Both organizations have strong ties with professional people in assorted medical specialties and publish and mail out well thought out periodicals. These organizations are the "National Fibromyalgia Partnership, Inc." and "The CFIDS Association of America, Inc." Check them out today! Fibromyalgia Message Boards Of course we are partial toward our own Fibromyalgia Message Forum. We would certainly welcome and appreciate your participation. A great resource....Please give it a try! There are many other message boards available on the net. Two worth mentioning are the Fibrohugs Message Board and the Healthboards Fibromyalgia Message Board. Home Business To Supplement Your Income As I have mentioned previously, I have spent a great amount of time investigating many so called "Home Business Opportunities" both on and off the Internet. True Opportunities are far and few in between. There are mountains of "Scams" and "Get Rich Schemes" that one has to traverse on his or her journey to a business of their own. It seems that the majority of the so called "Opportunities" on the Net follow the MLM [Multi Level Marketing] formula, which has its roots in the "Pyramid Scheme." Mine and "Dexter's" advice would be to stay clear, no matter how promising, convincing and professional the MLM appeal may be. Usually only the people at the top of the pyramid make any money. The majority, no matter what their claims are, work hard for little or no return. There is one program available on the Internet called "SiteSell!" by Ken Evoy, that I would recommend. The "Managing My Fibromyalgia" Web site was developed using his program. With a little hard work and persistence one can develop a presence on the World Wide Web. The "SiteSell!" program is a great place to start. Don't Delay. Get Started Today! Use This Handy Search Tool To Obtain Information On Any Prescribed Medications! RxListDrug Lookup

Many with fibromyalgia are isolated and spend much of there time at home. From my own personal experience, staying home and not having the physical and mental astuteness due to the pain and fatigue of fibromyalgia, makes for a long day.

With the help from Google Gadgets© I have been able to include some online games and activities you can use to make the day not quite as long. Besides, games and activities can help alleviate fibro fog. Enjoy!

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Fibromyalgia

Please help, we need your support! We are not looking to make a profit from this site, but just break even as if a non profit site.

Managing My Fibromyalgia is not a non-profit organization and we have never presented ourselves as such. No contribution to Managing My Fibromyalgia is tax deductible except as a business expense.

Please consult your accountant regarding expensing contributions to Managing My Fibromyalgia.

The past couple of years since the Dot Com crash, small mom and pop Web sites like Managing My Fibromyalgia have had a hard time raising sufficient revenue to be able to remain online.

Costs to operate a site like this, for Web hosting and connection fees can alone run over $1000/year depending on which services you use. Add to that, all the unpaid time for answering e-mail, searching out new information and resources, updating the Web site, and you can see it involves a huge commitment. Many times my wife Nancy and I wonder how we keep it going.

You can help to support us and other favorite small Web sites like this by making any of your online purchases through links to our merchant partners. We have partnered with several large and well known online companies as well as other small mom and pop Web sites, who provide a wide range of excellent products that you shop for everyday. By purchasing these products through links to our partner's Web sites, you will be helping to give us the financial support we need to be able to provide you with the kind of content you are looking for and deserve.

Merchant Web sites also rely heavily on sites like ours for their own support and many receive as much as 80% of their revenue through arrangements like this. This arrangement allows us to concentrate on content while allowing them to concentrate on product and delivery.

So please be aware that when you follow a link from our Web site to one of our partner's Web sites and you make a purchase, you will be supporting Managing My Fibromyalgia as well. And for that, we thank you profusely.

Also to My Dear Friends and Readers:

I will never forget the day that the exhaustion and physical pain, the unbearable fear of the unknown, and the continual inner emotions about not wanting to live this way anymore, were set aside when I found out that there were others like me.... I was no longer alone.

The Wilson Library support group that I attended back then, to me, was special. The members of the group were comforting to me. They shared with me, and they went to any lengths to give me all the support and understanding necessary to help ease my suffering and torment. I was not alone in this walk anymore.

I knew there were many others like me in the dark and feeling alone. The magic of the Internet and having a Web site has allowed me to fulfill my long term desire to help others in the realization that they also are not alone. I felt that due to the length of time [now more than 27 years] that I have had to cope with FMS and gain valuable coping skills and experience, that some of my survival tactics and insights would be helpful to others if I could only share those experiences with them.

Based on the feedback we have been receiving we are meeting with success. Our budget is limited. We have not been able to take advantage of all the methods available of getting our Web site noticed and in front of those it is meant to help. We depend a lot on "word of mouth" and recommendations.

I desire to be able to continue to expand this site [more material, better chat and message boards, a regular Newsletter, [maybe even lobbying and advocacy] and expand "The Fibro Help Network"©] and want it always to be "free of charge to all". Attempting to expand the site, to advertise and sign up for paid Search Engine links has really stretch our limited resources [even if you include the limited affiliate ad commissions we currently receive].

As I stated previously, it is our intent is to keep this site as a "free to use" site through the use of Click-able Banner Ads, my wife's and my own limited personal resources and any Donations that come our way from any person or persons, any organization and/or business. No amount is too small! If you are fortunate enough to have some extra money and need a warm feeling in your heart that you have done your part in helping some suffering people in our world, please consider sending a donation our way. It would be going to a very needy and good cause.

Why not go officially NON-PROFIT so all contributions would be tax deductible?... Right now that would require more money and resources than are currently available. This is something that we would hope to do as soon as possible, sometime in the future. We know that many will not donate without this available tax deduction. We do hope that many will still desire to make a donation to the "Managing My Fibromyalgia" Web site, tax deduction or not.

Thank you for your support. It is my fervent wish that the "Managing My Fibromyalgia" Web site can help add a ray of sunshine and positive support in your life or in the life of someone you know, today and every day! Amen!

If the Managing My Fibromyalgia Web site or Forum have helped you in any way, please consider giving back to the site so we can offset expenses and continue to enhance the features critical to helping sufferers of fibromyalgia and other related illnesses. Also my friends, remember to keep the ol' chin up!

Your friend forever,
Bill
