British Rheumatology Conference: References & abstract discussions

@swalex Thank you for posting this link. Like you, I am a "research nerd" and enjoy exploring new sources.
That said, many if not most of our members are not, and appreciate direct links to articles about specific issues related to their health concerns.
Would it be possible for you to read and review the one or two most relevant articles you read in this journal? I'll start below.

In the current Oxford Journal of Rheumatology, there is an interesting article about sleep quality/insomnia and fibromyalgia:

I can attest that a cognitive therapy approach to insomnia for pain management works. My pain rehab clinic used a slightly different approach, with voice-guided meditations/relaxation, but the result was better sleep, less fatigue on waking, and an improved outlook on life. I have fibromyalgia, rheumatoid and osteo- arthritis, chronic pain syndrome, and other health issues, all of which were causing a depressed world view as well. Now, if I find myself falling back into old patterns, one of the first things I resurrect is my sleep program.

Thank you, @sueinmn, for your message.

At present, I am in contact with a growing number of individuals living with lupus and Sjögren’s syndrome. As I am not a medical professional, I make it a priority to share information that is carefully sourced and grounded in credible, evidence-based research.

I would like to begin by focusing on Sjögren’s syndrome.

Having been diagnosed with lupus and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), I have written extensively on these conditions, striving to reflect the current state of scientific knowledge and to update my work regularly as new evidence emerges.

Suggestions are very welcome.
