Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 Hi..I am curious as to how you all answer the question What is fibromyalgia? It seems that whenever someone asks me and I begin to talk about this illusive illness that creates widespread pain, fatigue, fogginess, and a host of other conditions...all of a sudden, I begin to notice their eyes glaze over. Is it because those without this condition cannot comprehend how disabling this all is. So I'm just wondering what reactions you get, both from caring friends as well as interested strangers. My next question (and I'm not trying to be difficult here, honestly! I'm only curious) is why it's okay to talk about specific prescribed pharmaceuticals that help or not, along with side effects, but not okay to talk about specific alternative supplements and medicines that we might find helpful or hurtful. I agree that there shouldn't be salespitches and even links I can understand somewhat, but I'm certain that all of us have good info to share. I hope this question doesn't ruffle any feathers, I am only wondering aloud... Morningsong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
