About two months ago a I was talking to a close friend of the family who's had fibromyalgia for around two years at a get together. I asked how she was doing and we got into discussion about medicine and in particular emergency medical ID (I know I'm dull!) . We also spoke about a new fibromyalgia health supplement that's been marketed by Ahead Solutions online. She seemed interested and said that she may try the Fibromyalgia Micronutrients after payday. The conversation moved on and I thought little more about it. A couple of weeks later, a calendar pop-up reminded of the lady's birthday. I remembered our conversation at the dinner party. I wondered if it would be appropriate to gift the supplement for her big day (40th). I admit was a little uncertain to be honest; although she's a good friend I did think again how someone with a medical condition might feel if I were to give them something of such a personal nature - no matter how well we get on. Delighted with Fibromyalgia Supplement Birthday GiftI went with it and packaged up two pots (a four month supply) of the supplement and popped them in the post with a card. I was delighted to receive a call from her thanking me for the gift. She sounded genuinely excited to try the supplement. She'd not made the purchase due to lack of funds. ' Let me know how you get on with the supplements.' I told her and wished her well. Three weeks later (last week) a missed call from Debbie and a follow up text saying no need to return the call but just wanted to thank me again; she said "[...] sleeping better, more energy than I've had in ages and less pain." I thought "Wow... who would have believed it?" and what a truly amazing gift that turned out to be. The whole experience brought me to thinking how gifting something relating to a person's medical condition - although I think is deeply personal on one level - can actually also be so much more than a 'run of the mill' gift. So much so, I would certainly not dismiss the idea of doing it again. I suppose the caveat would be that I'd advise people to really consider carefully the feelings of the recipient... Is this type of gift appropriate given the strength of the relationship? Is it given with love and thoughtfulness? How might the recipient feel to receive such a gift from me? Could it offend or might they be truly delighted and thankful? Will it offer hope, help or both? So all that said I'm going to unashamedly add a short list of five gifts for people with fibromyalgia that could be a really nice thing for any reader of this post to gift to a person with FMS and who knows may follow up with similar for other medical conditions. I think especially the You ID Me service... after all You ID Me is genuinely helpful and used by many thousands of people. If you have any thoughts or opinions about giving medical condition related gifts or have any specific gift ideas with or without links please feel free to post them below.

Looking back at these makes me laugh at myself. I'm definitely not a natural at recording video to camera. Often it requires many takes and yes from time to time I can get quite frustrated with myself.
As you can see from this bloopers sequence I also swear quite a bit when I mess up. That said very few of my videos are cut; they're often recorded as a single piece... so I guess I should chunk them up a little. Enjoy. ^lc If you have more than one medical condition it can be an issue trying to find a medical ID product where you can 'fit it all on'; it's hard to squeeze it all in and still create the needed recognition and awareness of your illnesses. In years gone by people used to wear an engraved wristband or necklace with a single word on it. This was supposed to steer a paramedic or first responder in the right direction... Single word medical conditions such as Epilepsy, Dementia, Fibromyalgia, Diabetes was the kind of 'copy' that engravers would be most likely to be asked to scribe on a piece of jewellery. You ID Me has caused that to be history. Nowadays if you have more than one medical condition you can make absolutely certain that a paramedic, first responder or member of the medical team will get to know all your vital life saving medical details by carrying an ID product that uses the You ID Me service. In this short video by Director of You ID Me Lee Cunningham, he gives seven reasons why you should carry a You ID Me product if you have more than one medical condition. If you have been told "No MRI" then it is crucial that in the event of an emergency you are in some way able to alert medical staff to the reason why. This may be a surgical implant of some kind that is not easily accessible; spinal column stimulation, pacemaker, portacath, rod, plate or something else. So how can you alert medical staff about your surgical implant? It's vital that you do. In this short video MD, Lee Cunningham explains how You ID Me has been helping people with medical implants since 2012 to alert paramedics, first responders and medical staff about their spinal column stimulation (SCS), pacemaker, portacath or metal plates / rods in order to avoid - or at least make aware before - being put through an MRI scanner.
