the funny thing is, for the most part, i HAVE just learned to "live with it" because no matter what drug i take or what relief i seek, i always hurt. Always.

Wish I hadn't read this tonite. I really admire anyone who finds anything positive re this article. I don't. Just when Fibro is gaining legitimacy along come the naysayers with their insults & judgments. I am just so tired of it!!!

Think I'll check out the Depression community.

There was another post on this by Ohnoflo, the link ttok me to the same article, but had a oppotunity to vote on it and express my opinion both of which I did. This link does not do that unfirtunately. Thank you DJH for posting though. Hugs, Owlxx

I just got this in email today from The American Pain Foundation. I put up their article with a link to the editor of the New York Times.

I think that the article is irresponsible and harmful.

OMGoodness! What a load of crap. You can tell by the tone of the entire article that this guy has totally bought into thinking FM doesnt exist. This is a dent in our credibility. Anyone who was thinking to themselves "FM isnt real" will take this article and say HAHA! I was right and here's proof. How can they on one hand, say that they agree that certain meds dont help FMS'ers (implying it IS a condition), and then go on to say that magic word BUT... Its so sad that many people will be disillusioned by this article. After I type this I am also writing the editor and I will also post this on my other support group board. I may be too late, but gotta try. Thanks for posting this, DJH! -Dawn
