FMS overlap fatigue and suffering

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone.

Read this so supportive group's entries with admiration.(Am retired

doc in UK,and read on behalf of friend who has RA, uncontrolled, and

no computer.)

It appears to me as a concerned bystander that many of you who are

suffering most(including my friend) have strong features of the ill

understood fibromyalgia syndrome as well.Sadly this seems to often

baffle some doctors, so I was very interested to read (and take part

in) a CME (continuing medical education update) available for doctors

and other health care providers on Medscape.The title is

Fibromyalgia:A label for chronic widespread pain (release date May

29,2008) and runs to 14 pages, which I thought very well presented.If

more docs went through it I think they would have more

sympathy/understanding!

I know may know ways of accessing this?? and also some have

mentioned you are nurses.Anyway perhaps you could tactfully point

your PCP towards it.LOL. Hope this helps anyway. One thing which it

mentioned which seemed so true of my friend and many of your posts,

is that you are more TENDER than the average,a brain/nerve thing, so

of course you feel everything more! A very good way of putting it I

thought,

best wishes,

Chris
