Medics Aware Gallery

Don't forget to take duck to your next medical appointment - we want a photo of your doctor/nurse/consultant holding Fibroduck, we'll put them in our new medics aware gallery, which I'm working on right now, lets honour those medics who are FM/ME/CFS aware.

*What is ME? I know what FM/CFS is, but not sure what ME is.

*ME is just like chronic fatigue syndrome except "Where the one essential characteristic of M.E. is acquired CNS [central nervous system] dysfunction, that of CFS is primarily chronic fatigue."
Apparently.

*Same as CFS virtually. It's just was us Brit's call it.

*but more severe.

*I need to find a doc in Aberdeen who believes in Fibro!

*I'd like to launch the new Medics aware gallery as part of our awareness day events on May 12th. At present we have seven medics aware :)

*I'll have to send my mum a duck for her next rheumy appointment (we share the same doctor.

*Thanks for the info. I have a loved one with CFS.

*Gave my fibro duck card to my OT

*My GP asked what the fibroduck keyring was.

*I don't do Doctors no more, more mess ups with them then with out them. Not just me I had a buddy have his leg taking off, for NO reason. I'm sure the money was good, then gave him a by pass. that he did need! Can't sue in Canada.

*HI all, Where do you get the ducks from?

*What a cool idea!

*The section is built and ready to go next month, I just have to publish the page on the day. More photos would be great, not just any old Medic though, they must be FM aware/friendly to go on this gallery :)

*Cool idea, IF my Dr knew much about FM/CFS. I was handed off to this one by the Dr that left 2 yrs ago, not once has he sat down & talked with me. Just writes my scripts, which I appreciate, but come on. To find a Dr, I would have to pay for visit with each one, I don't want all my meds messed with, I just want some one that actually knows how to pronounce fibromyalgia!

*But I think the time has come where my money has to be spent on specialist doctors, I'm sick of being messed around :(

*Can't wait to press the 'publish' button come awareness day!
It's all ready to go with 7 medics up there at present although we welcome more please! They must be FM/CFS/ME/MS aware-friendly

*Does Eastern and Central Oregon, USA count??? My two guys are the best in the States! They deserve recognition.

*Yup they can be from anywhere cos it's a worldwide project.

*Ok will do. Hope I have the time!
