Re: Advertisement regarding our CFS and FIBROMYALGIA Study @ town

[Guest guest]

Hmmmmmmm.....

town is close by me.

I don't like the idea of a spinal tap, but I'm quite honestly tempted.

Maybe we could all do it on the same night and party? ;D ;D

I don't want a lumbar puncture either. But, I would be tempted to have it done

if I lived close enough. I sure hope they find some valuable information from

the study. I am happy that someone is trying to figure this out. In the name

of finding the face of this monster, I would do it. (I don't blame you though

for not wanting it.... it would not be fun).

I live in Phx so there is no way I could even if I wanted to - but there is no

way I would let anyone do a lumbar puncture on me in the name of research.

I don't care what information it gives! LOL
