March 13 Christian Support Meeting

Hello FMS Friends,

I hope you are staying warm and out of the cold weather this winter. Perhaps it will let up for Spring soon. It makes me want to hibernate like a bear! As you know, our nutritionist chose wisely not to brave the snow from Seneca, so we will see her at our April Meeting.

I am attempting to reschedule Dr. Randy Kale for our Saturday, March 13, meeting at 12:30 PM. Dr. Kale was scheduled for January but had to cancel. He had asked about 8 months ago to come and make a presentation. I still don't have a confirmation yet, but I have it on my calendar to call again tomorrow. I left a message last Friday on their main number.

If you have suggestions on who you'd like to have for a guest from a medical or licensed therapeutic profession, please send that to me by email at drgreer@charter.net .
 
If you haven't visited the NFA http://www.fmaware.org/ web site yet, please try to do this periodically as there are new research articles and information updated each week on this site. It's a great resource along with others listed on this blog site. If there's an informative and reputable web site you'd like added to our blog, be sure to send that to me, too.

Your Volunteer Leader,
Linda B. Greer

Nutrition Talk Postponed until April 10 Meeting

Mother Nature decided to give us a break for two months before we got the lowdown on what foods we should stop eating. Nancy did not want to make the long drive from Seneca with snow on the roads. Can you blame her?

Our March meeting is still being finalized, but I am hopeful Dr. Randy Kale will fit us into his busy schedule on Saturday, March 13. Will let you know more later. In the meantime, stay warm, get lots of rest on these long winter nights, and dream about Springtime.

Your Support Group Leader,
Dr. Linda B. Greer

This Saturday's FMS Nutrition Meeting

Come hear Nancy Taylor, MS, RD, LD,  of NuCommunity, LLC speak to us about foods that help and foods that hurt our Fibromyalgia. I know with Christmas and Valentine's Day so close together, and then Easter, it is so difficult to stay away from the chocolate. I can't remember the last time I ate a real piece of iced cake either. I've given up popcorn, too, because I love it really slathered with butter.

Anyway, you will learn something if you show up at 12:30 PM at my home address. Bring a small plate of healthy finge foods. Call me if you need directions at 278-2018!

Happy (without chocolate) Valentine's Day!

Dr. Linda B. Greer
