Guest guest Posted December 22, 2001 Report Share Posted December 22, 2001 Hi BJ, Fibro is short for Fibromyalgia. I want to also wish you a very, MERRY CHRISTMAS and a happy and painfree NEW YEAR!! Here is a short description of Fibro from www.webmdcom. What Is Fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia is a syndrome distinguished by chronic pain in the muscles, ligaments, tendons, or bursae around joints. It is called a syndrome because it includes a set of conditions that always occur together. The term fibromyalgia comes from a combination of three Latin words. Fibro- (fibrous, for the soft tissues of the body under the skin, especially around the joints, including tendons, and ligaments), my- (myo, for muscles), and -algia (pain) mean pain in the supporting tissues of the body, such as tissues around the knee or muscles around the shoulder. It is not a new disease but was described as early as the 1700s. In 1904, it was named fibrositis and in the 1980s renamed fibromyalgia. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> susan if you dont mind me asking but what is Fibro short for???? HOPE all will have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS. Bj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2001 Report Share Posted December 23, 2001 , i THOUGTH THAT WAS WHAT IT WOULD BE. I am very familiar with Fibromyalgia. My mom was dx with it many many years ago. I have had to research it as this is one that the docs really didn't explain to well to the "common" folk... What I hate is that since me and my girls live with my mom, i am the only one that sees how she gets at times. and as with both rp and fibro people look at you like whats wrong with you... you look fine, but boy when they have it or live 24/7 with someone that does omg you know they are not fine. the reason I asked is that not many people deal with fibro. thanks for fast input back with me. Hope that you have a very Merry Christmas.
