Talk:Fibromyalgia

Research? Not much. Patients that have something to say about this disease and their symptoms? Yes. Lots. Researchers with opinions? Many. Drugs for the disease? Well, sort of. Waiting for the IMC-1 Phase III trial and outcome because in my opinion, Dr. Pridgen is correct about the HSV-1 cold sore virus is responsible for this disease and because the FDA has fast tracked the IMC-1 trial, I think they think he is correct.

That's the way it is with this disease so this page although having some research, drug and disability information is mostly a collection of first person experience and researcher and doctor opinion. Because that is mostly all there is.

Most blogs do have research cited. If you can make heads or tails of research and would like to post it on this page with the research citation, please do. Like most patients I am unable to do that and rely on others explaining research. However, if there is no research but most patients are screaming at the top of their lungs as to what is going on, I would believe the patient.

By the way, if you form 11 of the 18 tender points, you are probably disabled. That is no time to diagnose.--DxCFS (talk) 13:51, 8 September 2016 (PDT)
