Re: Where Did All The People on Alt Med Fibro go?

LOL Good one Mike.
And Fran knows where she can shove it because I never posted cured.
I did how ever point out I DON'T have Fibro and found the right doctors who will run the right lab work.

Hell I even had that test today and not even knowing the blood results my body told me in 30 minutes I failed.
At Least I know where my health is going and I will never accept being told I have FMS again and doctors take me seriously now.

Fran, my response was to CB's comment.
Your observations are noted. Anytime you want to try to start an
argument, you know where to go.

The responses from CB and Michael are exactly the reason why
Tenderness is growing in membership daily. It's a place where nasty
remarks about 'wanting to have FMS' are not allowed, where threats and
ugly remarks are not allowed. And that's also why it will be here for
years to come or as long as this syndrome is here. The obnoxious
superiority of two people, one of which has stated he never had FMS
and the other states he is cured of FMS or never had it in the first
place, drives people from AFM to more pleasant and safer groups.-fran
