OK, I have had FMS, CFS/CF, IBS for the past 14 years, so you MIGHT say i have a 'cause'.  Some docs will tell you the the illness can only last 12 years before it burns out - WRONG, some docs won't admit it exists at all - it's all in the mind, pull your socks up, and that sort of thing.

 

There are so many charms for FMS out there, so much snake oil and potions and 'cure alls' and 'I know' and 'it works' and 'buy this' and guess what?  It don't work.  Nothing works.  Sometimes you can get a rest-bite, and you think 'YES - I'm cured - sorted - look out world'.  And what eventually happens?  Sooner or later you are out there, doing something (you know, getting on with life) and you feel the familiar ache/pain/breathlessness/crunch, call it what you like it  s - l - o - w - l - y  starts to creep back.  Before you know it, wham, bam, it's over the hill and hits you and life just                 stops.

 

  Read this book.  No, just read this book.  Yep, I know, read this book.  Seriously - READ THIS BOOK.  Then send a copy to your MP and say 'what are you going to do?'  And get them to join the cross-party action group (yep - there really is such a thing) that is based on this book about  how to FINALLY sort out fibro  -  and chronic fatigue  -  and irritable bowl  -  and late stage diabetes - and ME  -  and fibro fog - then i could work without a spell check again!!!!!
