RE: Tune into MSNBC Dateline tonight

[Guest guest]

I did. It was wonderful to see. Some serious reporting, including the

other side's opinion. What I think it lacked was the perspective of a

number of other people, not just the one woman and her family. Maybe

showing some of the ranges of limitations FMS can cause?

I watched the show also, An they left out a major part of FM which causes

Fatique, not one word was mentioned about that, An Why did Dateline have

someone else to go against FM ,people like him are the major cause of

somepeople getting their SSDI....

For those of us too disorganized to tune in, would someone (or more) post a

brief description & what you thought?

Hello to all,

I did watch the program on Fibro on Dateline. I do wish they had interviewed

more than one woman, and it would have been a plus if they had also shown the

actual brain scans of people who have this. There is a definite difference

in a scan of someone who has Fibro and a normal person. I know they have to

show both sides but it certainly doesn't help those of us who struggle on a

daily basis to have someone saying this doesn't exist. I am glad that

Fibromyalgia has been shown on a national show though.

I also think that the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia is over used by doctors.

Only a doctor that specializes in the treatment of Fibro is really

knowledgeable enough to make the diagnosis.

I know for me, I was very glad to finally have a name put to the pain that I

am suffering. I beleive that my mother was also suffering from Fibro, but

was undiagnosed. She had many other medical complications but ultimately

took her own life because of the unrelenting pain.

Hi everyone,

I received today from a Fibro group I belong to, some letters that have been

written to Dr. Bohr from this show. I'm not sure if it's all right to copy

them to post them here so if " we " are interested let me know.

I get jumbeled up on what's ok and what's not.

Bye for now,
