hey everyone!
i think they should give us a new name for this sh*t, one that is easier for normal people to understand and pronounce: ZOMBIE!
doesn't that sound easier than f i b r o m y a l g i a ?? and besides, that pretty much describes how we feel right? most our brains our missing, we are stiff as a board, our muscles feel like mushy jello, we aren't really dead but we aren't alive (in some cases we feel more dead than alive), we have to take handfuls of meds thru out the day just to somewhat feel normal, we are s s l l o w w w er than a turtle, we can't speak normal language and forget half of what words are anyway, we got no coordination and walk into things, and worst of all there is NO CURE!
but at least we got one thing in our favor: we aren't contagious. but we do wish we had more brains at least.... .... bbbrrrrraaaaiiiiinnnsssss..... brraaiinnss...
so whadya say? so the next time people ask what's wrong with me or why i'm on SSDI, i'm just gonna tell em i'm a freakin ZOMBIE! LOL

Sounds more interesting than fibro.
Let me tell you, I would like to be contagious sometimes, just guve it to certain people for a week or two to let thrm know what it is like. No I think at least a month. Yup a month.

Antonio Melechi explores one of the bizarre corners of the medical literature in his book Fugitive Minds (p211, ISBN 0099436272):
In 1979, the Journal of the Tennessee Medical Association announced that the 'Walking zombie syndrome' - a condition in which depression and withdrawal led individuals to unconsciously believe that they were dead - was on the increase. Illness, coma, high fever, operations performed under partial anaesthesia, and bereavement were, it claimed, just some of the situations through which a 'death suggestion' could be unwittingly assimilated.
Fortunately, there was, according to the hypnotherapists who 'discovered' the condition, one simple and effective cure: age regression. By returning patients to the event which triggered the 'death suggestion', the 'symptoms of death' could, it was claimed, be at once relived and remedied.
Although most physicians remained unaware of the diagnosis or treatment, the pseudo-illness continued to claim factitious casualties. By the late 1980s, the United States had apparently overtaken Haiti as the zombie capital of the world. According to one estimate, there were 'thousands of walking zombies on the streets of every city'.
