Thanks, Stacie. Actually I had a rheumatologist tell me years ago to do puzzles and such to keep the brain active and vital. It's the old if you don't use it you lose it thing.

[HeidiLiane] Treatment options for CFS from the US and New info from the UK

http://www.cdc.gov/cfs/cfstreatmentHCP.htm

I am only giving the link for this because to copy and paste the

entire thing would be large. The page has so many links that would be

lost in transferring it to the group. Please check i out. There is so

much info on this page.

The page is intended for doctors to learn how to treat patients with

CFS/ME. Reality tells me that I have not run across a doctor yet who

has read it, but it is interesting to note that it tells the doctors

to provide patients with a place to ly down when waiting to be seen.

I've never been afforded that option in a waiting room.

The page includes a CFS toolkit, a resource guide, and self study

courses.

Anyone on the group ever had your doctor tell you to play puzzle

games to help your disease? I haven't, but here is a quote off of the

page...

" Stimulating the mind with puzzles, word games, card games and other

activities may also be beneficial for some patients."

I always have loved games and puzzles and done them anyway, so

perhaps that has something to do with the fact that my mind is taking

longer to go. I hope everyone can use this info.

Note...If you click on the link, go to the top left side of the page

and click on the little square box that says CDC on it, and it takes

you to their home page where you can search through other diseases.
