Anything written by Frederick Wolfe is suspect, in my opinion. He has a long history of being against diagnosis of FM. His tone is quite anti-patient.
Aren't they missing all the confounding variables by comparing only one item: domestic violence. What about repetitive muscle use in a job,...
Anti-depressants (milnacipran--FDA approved for FM, and amyltriptylline) are used to treat FM pain, a first-line treatment, not because FM...
I felt safe until last week when my sister insisted on hugging everyone (she must derive some cortisol lowering benefit). We were masked (N95s...
Could it be, just a possibility, that people with FM who have more severe pain have a less positive outlook maybe? That would be logical to...
There is quite a bit of US federal funding of opioid reduction programs (aka pain rehab) since the Sackler debacle was attributed more toward pain...
Interesting in-depth article. The physician owner of Epicgenetics was not much of a scientist--his "test" was a cytokine signature for FM that has...
The NYTimes Pain Report, a well mind category (is that a sloshy wellness category they have in which they tell you how to wipe the GOOP off your...
Tender points as diagnostic aids are not present in the most current (2016) guide to diagnosing fibromyalgia, rather the number of areas of pain...
I think that's the whole point. That "symptoms" here, originally in ACT, were symptoms of anxiety/depression. The fear is that the Crawley crowd...
Here is what I found odd, blithely equating language itself with the mind. It's some sort of philosophical thing (I am quite ignorant of) but it...
ACT seems weird to me. I don't get why the average person with FM or ME/CFS of a few years standing would want someone who doesn't have pain or...
Love these! Thanks so much. And yes, such a good voice, well-rehearsed too.
Quite an over-reach of a theory as well as lacking an understanding of the basics of pain-generation. I don't see this going anywhere.
That guy in a wheelchair is way too happy-faced to be afflicted with fibro.
Wondering if the high incidence of the diagnosis of fibromyalgia at the Beersheba center for fibromyalgia is because of the expertise of...
40% of a disability pension is better than nothing, but shouldn't the amount be tailored to the severity of impairment?
What is this computer-jargon have to do with the not well-elucidated brain modulatory process, and call it top-down prediction signals when...
My body has multiple sites just ready to kick off strong pain signals if I "overuse" (normal use) the muscles. These sites are the thighs, shins,...
I can (I have FM) do a one-pound bag of rice bicep curls twice and experience pain the next day as though I had done a whole set (10 reps) of 5 lb...
Separate names with a comma.
