#41~ Happy Thanksgiving USA & laws, clinics & MORE

My, my, this has been such a busy 2 weeks that I 

have been without my MAIN computer and it feels 

like I'm been missing my right arm...and NO I'm not 

left-handed. I have had a hard time even keeping up

with all of the news & posts on this 7 tear old laptop

that has been working it's heart out for me to keep 

me informed, but It has been working at the speed 

of ME/CFS and thus even has made what I thought

took me a long time to do, even longer...Hence

I am behind in blog posting. OK, I apologize

and will NEVER catch up.. but that's the LIFE

of ME/CFS even with an old computer that has it.

May I First & foremost WISH "Happy Thanksgiving"

to all of the readers in the USA, and we SURE know

what we HAVE to give thanks for THIS year... 

Even tho we don't physically FEEL any better yet

our Spirits & Hearts have been LIFTED UP again

and we have HOPE that was for SO many years

missing....We FEEL again like we have a supportive 

"chosen online Family" that Understands us and 

does NOT Judge us. Just accepts us AS we Are..

We have in the last month cried together, rejoiced

together, and supported one another like I have 

not felt in MANY years... so I definitely KNOW

what I will be giving Thanks for Today....

ALL of you, ALL involved in  WPI, and ALL

involved in Supporting us...Bless you !!!

25 years is a LONG TIME to Feel Abandoned..

and that is what we have Felt...

esp those that are alone...those w/o families.

So CHEERS to the NEW "Chosen Families" that

now exist and we are one HUGE extended family

now...and forever.

Just a little news and some updates to those that 

might have missed it..

The XMRV/CFS Dr Oz Show WILL Air on Thursday

Dec 3rd on NBC, check your local channel for times.

Maybe someone can make this segment available

on youtube for those that miss it? I have not seen

Dr OZ on hulu.com...any other ideas?

ALSO, Dr Oz is NOW going to do a show on

Fibromyalgia... so HERE is the link to get YOUR

story told and as it is thought that XMRV might be 

at the root cause of that ALSO, be sure to let him 

know  if you started with a flu or anything that might

sould likje our ME/CFS soory as SO many of us have

BOTH, OK? Even if you can't attend he may choose

you to do a Skype interview with.. or at the least you

are Helping the Cause by helping us flood him with

the Numbers of us that have this also... So PLEASE

send your story in THIS weekend...OK? Thanx

There has been another families interesting story

that "may" prove of benefit to us...

Questioning if XMRV feeds on HIGH cholesterol 

in our systems? Has yours been checked lately?

Read the Hempel Story. 

 Many of us during this Holiday time when so 

many are going crazy with Holiday shopping..

WE are asking them to NOT "buy" us something

but Rather.. to donate for us to the WPI that is 

doing the Research to Help find us a CURE.

That can be done either directly on their 

Homepage via Paypal http://www.wpinstitute.org

Or if they belong to Facebook they can Donate

thru Andrea Whittemore's Cause CURE 4 ME

Also after the much appreciated part that

Dr Nancy Klimas played during the CFSAC meetings

and her recent NBC interview has decided to 

Open the Klimas Clinc doors !!!

The time has finally arrived!  Dr. Nancy Klimas 

will open the new Chronic Fatigue & Immune 

Disorders Research and Treatment Center
(Chronic Fatigue Center for short) in 

December.  Located in Kendall at 

8720 N. Kendall Drive, Suite 108, Miami,

FL 33176, the clinic will begin seeing patients

on Friday, December 4th.  Clinic days will be 

Mondays and Fridays for the near future.  

The clinic is a private fee-for service clinic, 

meaning that full payment will be requested 

at the time of service, and forms will be given

to you to submit to your own insurance 

provider.  Labs will be drawn at the clinic 

but will be billed directly through your 

insurance provider.  For more information, 

visit the web site http://www.cfsclinic.com

  If you have any questions or want
to make an appointment, email the clinic at 

info@cfsclinic  or call 305-595-4300.

The Chronic Fatigue Center is a private clinic, 

separate and apart from the CFS Clinic at the 

University of Miami, so everything at UM will
remain the same.

Here is the  only article I have seen from the

Cleveland Clinic Conference of researchers..

They are playing it VERY "close to the vest."

It's OFFICIALLY LAW Now...in the USA

You can NOT be Discriminated against

because of the results of a DNA test for 

employment and they are including the 

NO "Pre-existing Conditions" Clause in the 

Health Care reform Bill so Hopefully 

This will end all of this BS.

The law took Effect Nov. 20th 2009.

HERE it is.....

OK, time for some sleep here on this end...

almost 4am and a Holiday & food to fix...

Let me leave you with a song that has

unexpectedly worked it's way into my heart

and become my New Theme Song... 

I have a few others that you can listen to,

but this one has become "A Call to Arms"

for me.  May it serve us during this next leg

of our ME/CFS/XAND Campaign......
