As you are likely aware, the BC government is taking steps to bring in a cap system that will dramatically affect how injury claims are processed. Injury caps strip road users of their rights, by removing an individual’s right to have their losses determined by a judge. This leaves good drivers without legal recourse, even if they were not at fault. Injury caps are unfair. A caps system protects bad drivers by not holding them accountable for their actions. As a result, Bri...tish Columbians will have to subsidize bad drivers through higher insurance rates. Injury caps do not take into consideration the fact that every person is unique. Under a caps system, ICBC will treat each injury claim as a number. In actual fact, every person, and their individual situation is unique. Often it is not until months or years after an accident that the true extent of pain, suffering, and/or long-term impairment is clear. Injury caps disproportionately affect individuals with lower incomes. Challenging a claim under a cap system would cost much more than under the current system, resulting in a scenario where justice may be out of reach for many British Columbians. The government intends to strip away the rights of innocent drivers while protecting bad drivers. Learn more and add your voice at Roadbc.ca https://roadbc.ca

It Robs You of Your Very Being: Life With the Invisible Illness. This phrase is something Jo Allen hears a lot, as do many people with fibromyalgia. People with the condition often look completely healthy, but are in near-constant pain. Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that has a broad spectrum of related symptoms including fatigue, cognitive dysfunction and reduced physical function. Its nickname is ‘the invisible illness’. http://www.thejournal.ie/fibromyalgia-chronic-pain-cbd-oil/

Sinus Inflammation, Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS. Many of my fibromyalgia and ME/CFS friends tell me that they also suffer from chronic sinusitis, which is inflammation of nasal passages. A 2003 study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found those of us who have unexplained fatigue are ten times more likely to have non-allergy related inflammation. In a 2008 systematic review of change in bodily pain after sinus surgery, nine of eleven studies noted significant improvement in bodily pain scores following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in patients like those of us who have fibromyalgia and ME/CFS. http://www.prohealth.com/library/showarticle.cfm?libid=30092
