Ya want to stop having fibro? Do your own research.
Have a good day.

Michael,

Yes, it has and I'll look up what you responded to "David" and I'll
follow up with the information and medical links you've sent via
email, thank you.

If ones thyroid and vitamin D levels are within normal limits (wnl)
then what?

I strongly believe fibromyalgia is a type of warning our bodies
experience that something else more serious is invovled, and always
have.

Keep yourself abreast of updated research and share it with others all
over the world. Be sure to compare fibromyalgia symptoms to studies
involving: radiation, nuclear, and chemical poisonings...

Fatigue is an issue, but then again, so are neurotoxins being produced

Ps... Michael,

I try to keep up on the research passed on by Dr. Marc-Alexander Fluks
who posts at
Co-Cure. I'm beginning to think my sleep apnea is another reason my
muslces are not getting enough oxygen...

Excerpt:

It has long been believed that cortisol levels play a role in the
syndrome, but
for this study researchers focused on taking samples from a broad
segment of the
general population. They also made a point of having the samples taken
on a
normal workday, said Dr. William C. Reeves of the federal Centers for
Disease
Control and Prevention, an author of the study.

The cortisol differences were not found in the men studied.

Excerpts:

Using factor analysis with samples of individuals with CFS, Friedberg,
Dechene, McKenzie, and Fontanetta (2000) found three factors
(cognitive
problems, flu-like symptoms, and neurological symptoms) whereas Ray,
Weir,
Cullen and Phillips (1992) found four components: emotional distress,
fatigue, somatic symptoms, and cognitive difficulty. With a pediatric
sample,
Rowe and Rowe (2002) used confirmatory factor analysis, and found
support for
muscle pain and fatigue, neurocognitive, abdominal head and chest
pain,
neurophysiological, and immunological factors.

Sullivan, Smith, and Buchwald (2002) used latent class analysis with
32
symptoms of patients with CFS, FM (Fibromyalgia), and CFS and FM, and
the
findings supported the notion that CFS and FM have more similarities
than
differences. Taylor, Jason and Schoeny (2001) used a confirmatory
factor
analysis, which supported diagnostic distinctions between five
syndromes (FM,
CFS, somatic depression, somatic anxiety, and IBS). Linder, Dinser,
Wag- ner,
Krueger, and Hoffmann (2002) used artificial neural networks to
classify
patients with chronic fatigue (including CFS and idiopathic chronic
fatigue),
lupus erythematosus, and FM. They were able to achieve a sensitivity
of 95%
and a specificity of 85%. Those chronic fatigue symptoms that had the
highest
accuracy were "acute onset of symptoms" and "sore throat," which
supports
the hypothesis of an infectious etiology.
