Re absence. Relapse. (about us and this blog) 10.14

Helloooo our beautiful blogger arme! I'm so sorry for my absence. I'm sad to say I relapsed. And my very first ever that wasn't a natural health deterioration, or causational one caused by a hospital visit or such. I hope to explain one day if I can, but just not yet. I hope to be back here regularly in the not too distant future. And I'm really sorry that I haven't been here for so long. I hope to have the blog edited soon that I mentioned here the last time I wrote, that is about going chemical and toxin free, and detoxification. When I can find someone to edit it, I'll post be able to post it. And I hope that can tide y'all over till I can post regularly again. Until then, we really are truly appreciative of your patience and for standing by us through this all. You absolutely are the best followers! We feel so grateful and blessed! Best Wishes, Much Love and Blessings, Alison on behalf of The Tinkerbelle and Hummingbird M.E. Blog x x

Jodi Appreciation Month #2, + Competition 9.14 (occasions, competitions)

Apologies but I'm too ill to write a new post, especially a coherent one. So please see last years below about Jodi Appreciation Month. Competition stands also so get your entries in. I'll try to update you soon on us. Much love Alison God bless x x // http://thetinkerbelleandhummingbirdmeblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/jodi-appreciation-month-2013-shout-out.html?m=1 Hi everyone! A different shout out this month! So, as the founder of the Jodi Bassett, aka Princess of Oz (poo ;-) ) fanclub, I have allotted September as *We love and thank Jodi* month. Those of you who feel able, if you can, send your thanks, smiles, stories, hugs, thoughts, appreciations, giggles, and most of all love, to thank her for the astonishing amount she has done for everyone in the M.E. community worldwide, the facts that she has taught doctors, medical professionals, family/friends of sufferers, and the general population, and the support she endlessly gives us all! Without the selfless work, effort, time and health that she has given us all, not only has she helped our health, quality of life and relationships, but in all reality, she has saved many lives, I have no doubt. So, whether it be by commenting via the blog, the two yahoo groups, by emailing me ( contactalisonLouisebell@gmail.com ) where i can post it for you or send directly to her if you'd rather keep it private, or by any other means, lets show her our sheer appreciation! It's the least we can do! Jodi, I am in awe! Truly, thank you, for everything and more. You have helped my heart in so many ways! You have helped my health, my sanity, and my smile. You are one of the most beautiful, kind hearted people, and,,, You are a true advocate for human beings, let alone for people with M.E.! Thank you for everything and everything and everything! I also noticed I have not held a competition in some while, , , so, , , lets coincide one! Every person who sends Jodi a message, whether on the blog, in one of the two yahoo groups, or via my email, is entered! (Note- If you comment but do not wish to be entered into the competition, just let me know) The goodies up for grabs are, , . One of Jodi's beautiful hummingbird artwork prints . A hummingbird Tibetan charm . A tinkerbelle Tibetan charm . A make a wish bracelet (to wear or place somewhere around you) (please see attached image) So, are you all ready to send Jodi gratitude, and show her some love? Ready, , steady, , goooo! Thanks for reading everyone, let me know if you need any help at all. Much love Alison/Tink God bless x x

Ramadan and Independence day 2014 (occasions)

A joint occasions post for our beautiful followers, for Ramadan and for the Fourth of July.

To all our followers of Islam, "Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah" (May the peace and mercy of Allah be with you.)

From Huffington Post / USA

"What are the dates of Ramadan? Because the cycle of the lunar calendar does not match the solar calendar, the dates of Ramadan shift by approximately 11 days each year.
In 2014, Ramadan is expected to begin on Sunday, June 29, in the United States, although the date is only confirmed once the moon is sighted. Ramadan for the rest of the world is expected to begin on Saturday, June 28th.
The ending of Ramadan is marked by the holiday of Eid ul-Fitr, which takes place either 29 or 30 days after the beginning of the month.

On Eid ul-Fitr, morning prayers are followed by feasting and celebration among family and friends."

And to our American brothers and sisters, early happy fourth on July. We do hope the fireworks don't disturb you! If you are able to celebrate, in any small way, let us know how!

Best Wishes, Much Love and Blessings

Patience, Support and Meantime June 2014 (about us and this blog)

Patience, Support and Meantime. June 2014. Hello to our beautiful blogger arme. We want to apologise for the lack of major blog discussions over the past months. Both Jodi and myself have had a lot to deal with recently, but you are a priority for us we hope you know. We really want to thank you for your patience and continued support, for us and importantly yourselves one another. I, Alison/Tink, am in the midst of writing a solo major blog about my experiences going chemical free and non toxic. I hope to have it finished in the next few weeks. In the meantime, why not reread some oldie but goodies on Hfme. Knowledge along with rest, are your main weapons with this terrible disease. And it can also be incredibly valuable when dealing with ignorant medical professionals and family/friends. Here are some of my personal recommendations ; What is M.E. (various lengths) http://www.hfme.org/whatisme.htm CFS is always a misdiagnosis http://www.hfme.org/misdiagnosis.htm Why M.E. Sufferers can be housebound or bedbound http://www.hfme.org/houseboundandbedbound.htm Invisible logic, why M.E. is not an invisible illness http://www.hfme.org/invisible.htm Death from M.E. http://www.hfme.org/medeaths.htm It would be great if you could tell us what your favourite or recommended Hfme papers by writing in the easy comment stream below, or by contacting me, Alison/Tink via the following means email contactalisonlouisebell@gmailcom Text or voicemail 07971151438 Internationally +44791151438 Fax 02083315042 Internationally +4483315042 Once again, thank you for your patience and support. You are all so important to us! Best Wishes, Much Love and Blessings, The Tinkerbelle and Hummingbird M.E. Blog x x

More super easy advocacy, belated from May 2014 (occasions)

Another Super Easy advocacy,

Reply to The Wright Stuff this time, telling them to go look at Hfme to learn actual facts about m.e.

Because this month is not << awareness month.

Or simply retweet my replies, with one click.

Simples! And makes such a difference if someone with his huge following actually learnt and posted true facts about Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

Thank you folks
Alison/tink on behalf of
The Tinkerbelle and Hummingbird M.E. Blog

Check out @5WrightStuff's Tweet: https://twitter.com/5WrightStuff/status/465738171339538432

My replies I implore you to read this http://thetinkerbelleandhummingbirdmeblog.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/may-occasions.html?m=1

+ this i sent this previously https://twitter.com/alisonlbell/status/403225578410881024
Please please read these. Its so important to get facts right. Thank you.

May. (occasions)

As this time of year comes around once again, it is upon me to remind or point out, with kindness and sadness, the following.

May 12th, is absolutely nothing to do with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.

It is not <<<<
M.E. Awareness Day,
M.E./Cfs Awareness Day,
or even Cfs Awareness Day.

Whatever faux charities lead us to believe, it is about anything but M.E.

Charities like, whom amongst others, IIME, AFME, The MEA, The Coal Mine Campaign, and the 25% Group, who all, in spite of what they say, are only damaging all sufferers and causing more suffering and even deaths by the misinformation they all continue to attempt to tell the world.

It is a very sad affair to say we live in a world where only this blog, the incomparable Hfme, and The Nightingale Foundation, are the only sites who contain pure, unadulterated, factual information on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.
But it is the world we find ourselves in none the less.

Please, be an advocate.
Speak up, if you can, in whatever way you can, Im ever small.
Fight for one another, if you are able.
After all. ,

* ‘All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing’ *.

And

* 'Be the change you wish to see in this world' *.

We also did a post a few years ago, discussing this day.
Please see

Thank you for reading.
You are worth the fight.

Our 2 year anniversary (occasions, about us and this blog)

It really doesn't seem like it, but our 2nd anniversary is almost upon us!

May we take a moment to thank you all for being part of our community for another year.

We hoped to inform about this horrendous illness, help with both suffering and understanding, create a safe place for you all to gather amongst friends and equals, and be people whom you can talk with and confide in.

I (Alison/tink) have no idea if we achieved any of those, but I can say it has been such an honour to try.

Thank you, each and every one of you, for taking the time to visit our blog, read our posts and discussions, sharing us as many times as you could, contacting us, and for being such truly wonderful people.

We are so very grateful for you all.

And Jodi/Hbird, , my oh my.
This wouldn't be anything without you.
I am truly honoured to co-do this with you. Love and admire you beyond words.
Thank you Jodi!

Best Wishes, Much Love and Blessings,
