I think and don't hold me to it, that somebody in another post said, it was a waste of time and nothing about fibro was even mentioned. Boy, I hope I'm right Smile

It was a waste of time. I was so upset. Dr. Teitelbaum also didn't hardly talk. I felt that Dr. Oz also made CFS sound like it was something you could just cure in a short amount of time...with rest, some exercises and change in diet. Sheesh...if we already knew that then why do so many people still have it??? AND are struggling with it??? Geez...I love watching Dr. Oz, too..but, that show was ridiculous! Of course, they didn't even discuss Fibro...they couldn't do that!

I was the one that posted that it was a waste of time ~~~ Dr. ""T"" nor Dr. Oz neither ever mentioned the word Fibromyalgia. Short as the segment was, they only mentioned, albeit briefly, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

It was a waste of time. They did not mention fibro, only CFS and acted like it could be cured quite simply. I love Dr. Oz, but I also thing it was definitely a waste of time. I'm glad I didn't tell any family members to watch it.
