Just a quick update for everybody- especially all of you who have agreed to at least participate in a survey if my proposal is accepted.

I did get an email today and I won't know until June whether or not they will be interested in it. (This is a national conference so they have quite a few to review and decide which ones they most want to fit into the time frame.)

I don't think anyone has ever spoken about fibro so that might make it a good possibility they would be interested. I so appreciate all of you who have said you would help with the data. This forum has taught me so much- much more than doctors or books could ever teach about living with this condition. I really, really hope if it is accepted that I can educate these professionals about fibro and the massive impact it has on our lives. We are not complainer or hypochondriacs- we are people with a real condition that affects us physically, psychologically, socially and spiritually. We are FIGHTERS to deal with our condition. Most of us have found inner strength we didn't know we had. I want to change the FACE of FIBRO- at least for this group!!! thanks again everybody. We will find out in JUNE!!!!

Thanks Guys- I just wanted to inform you about the time frame. I probably won't know for about 6-8 weeks but that is ok. It will still give me enough time over the summer to work on stuff.!!!!!
