Perth
Group started in November 99.
Perth Guai Group is now a more casual gathering of FMers with no regular formal
monthly meetings at the West Stirling Neighbourhood House- more just a luncheon here and
there. The formal meetings were putting too much pressure on some of the members and
therefore they have opted for something more relaxed. For date and time of
next lunch/meeting please contact Verona by
email.

Spine Associates, (701) 280-0057
Offering education and encouragement for people using guaifenesin to recover from
fibromyalgia or myofascial pain. Beginning the guaifenesin protocol can be a daunting
experience. You're in pain; you can't think straight; you're tired all the time, and your
doctor hands you 70 pages to read about your new treatment. If that seems overwhelming, we
have good news!
Dr. Scott Turner and his staff at Red River Spine Associates invite you to attend a series
of monthly seminars designed to help you during your recovery from fibromyalgia and
myofascial pain. The series features medical professionals and other patients briefly
explaining the protocol. There will be time set aside for questions and discussion.

"This riveting book can awaken humanity. It
reveals the simple power of four phrases to transform your life. It's all based
in love by an author spreading love. You should get ten copies of it----one for
you and nine to give away. It's that good."

Light Chasers
After 13 years of illness, some good
things are happening, and I'm finally on my way to being totally well. Books

Fibromyalgia,
Chronic Fatigue & Irritable Bowel: Treating Symptoms Treating Cause
By Dr Gregory K. Penniston
(The re-titled new edition to
The Guaifenesin Guide)
A unique book that gives sufferers and their
families clear explanations and practical information on every type of treatment
for these distressing and hard to manage disorders. It dispels the
misconceptions, that lead some people to dismiss these conditions, with
thoughtful explanations and reasoning. This book gives emphasis to eliminating
the conditions by addressing their 'cause', with a commonly used
'over-the-counter' medication, guaifenesin and provides detailed, easy-to-follow
guidelines.
Examining Guaifenesin
Parting the Fog: The Personal Side of Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
By Sue Jones, a GG Member
Parting the Fog" is a candid,
first person account of what it is like to walk in the shoes of someone
suffering from fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome. It relays the
seriousness of this condition in an easy-to-read manner, while employing
humor and focusing on hope.
Crack Up at the Wake of Dawn: Everyday Poetry to Incite and Delight Your
Soul
Another great Book from our GG Member Sue Jones!
If you are a fan of "Parting the Fog", you won't
want to miss this book. Although it isn't specific to fibro, you WILL find
chapters you can closely relate to, since many topics are dealt with. Some
of the poems may make you cry, others make you laugh, and still others
trigger a thought or give you greater insight. Whichever the case, you won't
be left unaffected.
Take My Hand: The Extraordinary Story of a Girl Named Janis
In Take My Hand, Audrey Revell (a
long time member of GG) paints a vivid and moving picture of the life and
indomitable spirit of her daughter Janis, an exceptionally talented musician and
composer despite having lost her sight as a child together with progressive
hearing loss.
