From Adrienne Dellwo, your Guide to Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Also this week, test your knowledge of neurotransmitters -- those brain chemicals that can cause so many problems when they're out of balance; find about how research into abnormal blood flow to the brain could help doctors find the right treatment; and a look at almonds in our Food of the Week.

On the right, research into how words may actually cause physical pain; new content on d-ribose supplements; and some good fibromyalgia facts to have handy. Down under Featured Articles, you'll find out about some treatment options.

Take care of yourself!
