Sorry, the conference didn't have much to offer PN or Fibro patients this time.
It dealt with chronic headache, estrogen links, spinal cord stimulators, some chronic pelvic pain issues. Two hours were taken up with politics this time. The drafter of the new Health/chronic pain bill that just passed the House, spoke along with another congressman (both from our area). The Fibro speaker was Russian, with a thick accent, very hard to follow him.
So nothing much new on Fibro, except the receptor stuff, which I will have to study from the handouts. Estrogen was stressed as a pain trigger, and this lecture covered dopamine/opiate receptors and oxytocin. Highly technical and theoretical. I wish Dr. Clauw had been there again.
