Thanks for your response.

I was wondering how long ago it was that Emory were still using this MPFS term? If they are still using the MPFS term then possibly it is in current usage however there certainly is a dirth of information about it in the current medical literature. When literature is as old as Hudson's articles (1970's) one wonders whether another term or diagnosis has supplanted it.....or whether Hudson et al. are the only ones who have diligently pieced together the symptoms!!!!

My symptoms, - muscle aches, fasciculations (several hundred per day - hard to count!), extreme fatigue, cramps, burning skin pain and other odd sensations sure seem to fit the MPFS syndrome as outlined by Hudson. Oh well maybe I'll never know!
