'Jeanne's Endo Blog': Taking A Break From Endometriosis For An Important Message...

Today I saw I post that caught my eye:

Change The Conversation - Stop Using The R-Word - from Maureen Hayes' blog "Being Chronically Ill Is A Pill"

It prompted me to drop what I was doing for Endometriosis Awareness Month to write this post. There was a moving interview with actor John C. McGinley speaking on the Bonnie Hunt Show.



YouTube video description:

Hear actor John C. McGinley talk about why the word 'retard' is so hurtful and why everyone should stop using it in everyday conversation. This is from an interview on the Bonnie Hunt Show on March 2, 2009.

Please check out the Special Olympics website and take the pledge, grab the badge and blog about this campaign. We can make a difference for the better! Please join me in this great effort.

Endometriosis Blog: Fibromyalgia Awareness

Thanks to Sherril Johnson, I am now aware of the ILAP (International Leaders Against Pain) 2008 program she attended and the National Fibromyalgia Association's "Pledge To Care".

As many readers of my blog know, fibromyalgia is a co-existing illness for many endometriosis patients. I have fibromyalgia myself.

I encourage you to read Sherril's informative Sunday August 31, 2008 post: "ILAP 2008 - The Pledge to Care".

I have added a widget for this campaign in the sidebar of this blog. If you click on it, it will route you right to the National Fibromyalgia Association's website (or just click below):
