FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM FIBROMYALGIA, CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME, ME
Chronically Ill People Now Have an Emergency Fund to Draw on During Times of Financial Hardship
Chronically ill people generally have little to celebrate about, but thats all about to change. Members of Reaching Out, a website dedicated to helping those who suffer from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME, now have an exciting program to rely on during financial emergencies.
The program, called Emergency Outtie Fund, began in March 08 and is the brainchild of Karen Clinton, Support Group Administrator, Carrie Nelson, Editor of Reaching Outs free monthly newsletter, and Sparrow Ivy, Website Administrator of Reaching Outs site at www.reaching-out.info.
We started the fund, commented Sparrow Ivy, because we saw so many members having to choose between filling their monthly prescriptions or paying rent. Of course, for many chronically ill, they are no strangers to having to choose between two necessary items.
You can practically watch someone go through the sad and unfortunate stages you went through earlier, commented Sparrow. It starts off with losing your sources of income. Then theres the loss of health and life insurance, prescription and other work related benefits. Then we quickly deplete our savings and our friends and families ability to help. Finally, we start the process of deciding if were going to fix our vehicle or buy that prescription. After watching our Members go this bitter process over and over, it became unbearable, so we decided to start this fund.
Reaching Out was started in 2004 by a small group of people who were battling Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME and other associated illness. Their services, all free, includes a website which offers advocacy, small, email support groups, links, current updates on treatment and research, 24-hour chat and bulletin board, and stories of courage for all survivors.
Also available is a terrific free monthly 18-page newsletter which can be seen in some of the best doctors offices in the U.S. and Canada or sent to an email address. Theyve won two web awards and were listed in the top five websites by Karen Richards on About.com in 2007. If youd like more information about this topic, or to schedule an interview, please call Dr. John Ivy at 208/255-1216 or email reachingoutsite@aol.com.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
