Buckwheat,
Good article. Thanks for sharing.

Sydney,
I too have FM & RSD. And like you there are times, such as this week for instance, have a difficult time figuring out where FM starts etc. I too have full body FM. Dx'ed in 1989 with it, later was determined that I am probably one that was born with FM. When Dx'ed, I was so surprised to know that other people didn't hurt all the time. I can not remember a time when I did not have pain. I use to curl up on our couch in one corner as a small child & cry with leg cramps. Mom of course was told by our family MD that is was growoing pains when she broke down & took me in about it. Back then parents didn't run their kids to a doctor unless they thought it was serious (this was during the 50's to early 60's). Anyway RSD came to call in 2003 in my feet. I too am pretty much wheelchair bound. I am able to get around our smallish house with just a canme but that is about it. I am now dealing with RSD having an interest in my hands for the 2nd time. I start SGB's next Monday for my hands. This is the 2nd round. The last time ended May last year.

Nice to meet you btw.
