MRSD:

nice post.

one modification. If I remember right, it is the tender point analysis that is going to be eliminated as a requirement for FMS, not trigger point.

there is a nice summary of the recent Dr. Clauw talk at the "Phoenix Rising" site -- on its front page (although it does not mention anything about tender points or trigger points). I am a new member -- so I cannot post the Web address... just Google it and you'll find the article.
