Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hey everyone! There was an article in our local paper today that I just wanted to share. It seems that they have discovered the gene marker for CFS. Fibro. seems to be linked to CFS (as in auto immune, and also because it is very common that if you have one you have the other) This proves that CFS is not only very real, but that it runs in families. They say that you carry the gene, and it activated by some kind of very stressful event. (death, divorce, car accident) This is very good news for fibromites. as it tells us that the research is making good progress! I don't know about you-all, but this cheers me some, that some day there will be a test to diagnose it, and there will be treatment that does not involve 6-8 different medications! So, hanging in there with hope for us and future fibromites! Kellie If logic tells us that life is a meaningless accident, don't give up on life, give up on logic. If logic tells you that in the long run nothing you do makes a difference, then don't live in the long run. Life is a series of moments--to live each one is to succeed.
