My only concern is that I have no way to do this anonymously, and I have a pending legal matter.

I have recieved several surveys for EDS using monkeysurvey.com. I was "found" through my genectist. They sent out the requests for people to fill out the survey either online or the papers in the packet and mail back. Perhaps if you are in school you can use a "mailing list" type thing through one of the doctors there. Another place that I've taken surveys for EDS at is through the national foundation website. Perhaps contacting one of the large FM research foundations would be an idea.

Common guys' I timed myself and the survey took a total of 61/2 minutes. All the questions were multiple choice and you select one and move on. The questions were based on responses from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Some took a little time to think about but most were very easy to answer.

Sme didn't apply but I just selected neutral.

I strongly encourage everywhere possible to help our grad student out by taking this survey. It is so easy, and you can even enter your email for a 25 dollar raffle prize a the end. Plus you will get your results. It can also be anonymous.

Im surprised our researcher has run into so much resistance from fibromites in her travels. This is something we are all struggling with and all of us, i believe, are interested in raising the level of awareness. Here we have a young advocate researcher, who is also struggling with chronic pain, but is taking steps to help the mission, and be an advocate.

I find myself on this board for hours, like others, sometimes venting and complaining, writing post after post, joking, hopefully helping others with my words. Them I look at the little bit of time it took to fill out an important survey like this! Common Guys! Please for the sake of Suffering fibromites everywhere, join the cause and do your part. Who knows how far this will go?? But it's a step!!!

I thank our young researcher for her time and efforts and being our voice and Advocate- Education, information, motivation

Julz, you're right. Especially if it's so short, I can do it. I would be on here at least that long anyway. Thank you.

I would also be interested in the survey, as long as it is for research, and to help find answers for us fibromites. As long as Roy has no issues with this, then I will also take part in the survey. You can pm it to me.
Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.

I put the link in the other topic about this Julzy started.

Yes, it's completely annonymous. You can give them your email, if you want to see the results later, but you don't have to even give that if you don't want.

*edit* here's the link:
