As of November 30, 2008, here are the results so far for being diagnosed with FM or/and CFS. It shows the obvious explosion of FM & CFS diagnoses through the 90's into the 2000's ..WOW! Which also means that we may all be close in age too....Next Poll!

I think more has become known about it. When I was diagnosed in 1982

http://www.fms-help.com/fibro.htm

virtually nothing was known about this mysterious condition then

called " fibrositis. " Now, patients can even get disability for it. So

maybe that's why there were more cases diagnosed from 1990 on? To

show how little was known about it in 1982, read an interview I gave

with Bella Online about my early experience having FMS:

There was so little support back then.
