The Fibromyalgia/Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Support Group will meet virtually on Zoom on Tuesday, July 7th at 6:30 pm. The July topic is “Why is Breathing so Difficult?” Current research and thousands of years of cultural history agree that breathing ‘correctly’ is essential for our health. Why do so many of us breathe poorly, and how does it affect our health? How can we do it better? This session will include a presentation on breathing and several guided breathing activities. All people with fibromyalgia or EDS, friends and family are welcome to participate. Contact group leader, Prof. Leslie Russek (Lrussek@clarkson.edu) for information about how to log into the session.
