I WAS ASKING HOW SHE WAS DOING AND THEY SAID THAT SHE HAS FIBRO AND THAT SHE WAS BEDFAST NOW AND THAT THE FIBRO WAS ATTACKING HER VITAL ORGANS!!!! IS THAT REALLY TRUE??? HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD THAT FIBRO CAN GET BAD ENOUGH TO ATTACK YOUR ORGANS??? I KNOW SHE HAS BACK PROBLEMS AND THAT THE DOCTORS SAY THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING FOR HER BACK. CAN SOMEONE ANSWER THIS QUESTION?? I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW!! HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL!!!! BECKY
