 [b]I am not sure to use the colors and stuff, but here it goes. I hope it is ok to post links, if not.

I found this article and I was in Awe, as to what i was reading. Does this explain "fibrofog" or what?

 Cathryn, It is considered a Real illness, it has been by SSA for a few years now, and with the new Medication Lyrica being approved and the commericals that are on Tv now, Fibro is getting some real attention.

Pfizer ( the makers of Lyrica) also have a commerical not related to the Lyrica.

 This had been an illness since 1800's neuralgia or something like that, I dont know . but others seem to think dr kavorkians patients had this, etc...it is not new , they just want something to be controversial about.... They do this with what they dont understand, i say they just need to work harder and they will find the tests and stuff to prove we are not lying , that is their job... not ours to prove...

 Teresa, Yes, Goes way back, at that time of course it was not called fibro. Alot of famous people were believed to have suffered from fibro.
