I used to get flares after I went through a very

stressful time. It always surprised me that I

wasn't flaring when I was running back and forth

to the hospital to see my child. But, as soon as

everything was fine again, BANG, then came the

flare. It's like your body stays strong when it

has to and then WHAMO.

Hi Serena,

I feel compelled to tell you about Dr. St. Amand,

the doctor who discovered " a cure. " He was my

doctor from 1974 until 1980. He said I had

arthritis, a certain kind of arthritis that 'he

also suffered from' and that he had a cure. At

that time, the cure was a medication for gout

called Anturane. Needless to say, after six

years I only got worse. When I saw another

doctor and was finally diagnosed with fibro, Dr.

St. Amand said there was no such thing and that

lots of his patients had left him but that I

would be back. I never went back. If you

further research Dr. St. Amand, you will probably

find that he has been ostracised by other

rheumatologists who claim his " guaf cure " is a

sham.

My fibro is under control now and has been for

about eight years--no thanks to St. Amand.
