Jodi appreciation month 2013 (shout out, occasions, competitions)

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

In Memory of Dr Elizabeth Dowsett (shout outs)

Our hearts go out in sadness and in immense gratitude to the incomparable Ms Elizabeth Dowsett who recently died.

She was a fearless leader of care, support and research in the area of M.E. And fought tirelessly for the recognition of this terrible illness.

She, in our minds, was one of the worlds most learned M.E. specialists. It is thanks to her trusted research that we know as much about M.E. as we do.

As Jodi beautifully and articulately wrote in the Hfme -Newsletter

'Dr Dowsett, a genuine hero for M.E. patients, died on June 14 in a nursing home in Cambridge at the age of 91.

Dr Dowsett was born in Newport and studied medicine at Edinburgh University, working first as a GP and then as a microbiologist. She began to focus on M.E. in the 1960s and went on to work with leading M.E. experts then and now, Dr Ramsay and Dr Richardson, and to see thousands of patients with M.E.

Dr Dowsett’s high quality work saw her became one of the most experienced and knowledgeable M.E. experts in the world. Her papers on M.E. are still relevant and essential reading today for patients and doctors.

In a field rife with sickening self-promotion, greed and corruption of basic science and facts -all at the patients’ expense -Dr Dowsett’s work was and is a shining beacon of hope and sanity.

Dr Dowsett is one of those very rare caring and intelligent doctors that has put truth and patients first and really done all she can to try and help the M.E. patient and the M.E. cause. If only we had hundreds more doctors like her the world for the person with M.E. may be very different today.

Dr Dowsett fought so hard to have the distinct neurological and enteroviral disease M.E. separated out from 'CFS' and various vague fatigue subgroups and wastebasket diagnoses. This fight is just as necessary today, sadly. The facts have not changed and nor have the political hurdles we face (except that there are far more of them as so many 'advocacy' groups have now sold out to the 'ME/CFS' concept they were created to fight against, yet still bafflingly enjoy widespread patient support).

M.E. patients everywhere owe Dr Dowsett a huge debt of gratitude. Words can’t express how grateful we are (and I am) for Dr Dowsett’s work, caring, selflessness, integrity and insights. She is a genuine hero. Sincere best wishes to the Dowsett family.

See: http://www.hfme.org/wdowsett.htm. '

We know that her work will benefit us for years to come, what better legacy.

We are proud of you ma'am!

Our heartfelt love and condolences go out to her family, friends and loved ones.
