Good in depth article—mentions fibromyalgia.

Yes, worth the long read.

Good comments section though some commenters are convinced that mind cures pain. Oh woo.

I felt compelled to comment re my FM.

 

Yeah, some interesting comments, including some on “Long Covid” and Lyme.

Have to say that I’m not particularly optimistic about any new candidate drugs in the pipeline. I posted about the Vertex drug here (not different from placebo)
