PERMISSION TO FORWARD, REPOST AND USE IN NEWSLETTERS

------------------------------

A couple of related items, which won't please Fibromyalgia sufferers

when logged in. This is dated 19th February 2009.

Earlier, 8th/9th February 2009, an Associated Press article appeared in

several papers, here http://tinyurl.com/bb3mzr

There are other letters to come but I have some medically unexplained

symptoms to

sleep off just now.

If you want to give Dr Maddy a piece of your Fibromyalgia, the e-mail

address is

letters@...

that is letters at trib dot com

Have yourself a little laugh at our joke of the day here
