I knew it had to be something else! You poor thing. Email me at bluedog@mtaonline.net and I can get you in contact with so many
people who can help, your head will spin. There have been studies that PROVE that FM is hereditary and that there are too many
doctors out there who refuse to believe it is even a problem. I for one am trying to educate people. This is a real disease and it has medical
testing to prove it. I wish some of these doctors would quit being so lazy and learn 'new' things. Alot of FM patients also suffer from CFS. I don't personally
but I know alot who do. TTYL.

I do try to yell at docs, but it took them 20 yrs to diagnosed a stomach problem which was causing my being overweight. Now they just want to keep me on Effexor, that is why I went cold turkey. I am in the process of finding a different doc. I also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrom. Will keep yelling at docs, but sometimes, it is as senseless as yelling at my kids.
