Either way she never let anything stop her. Florence Nightingale had an amazing impact that has continued to inspire tens of millions of people around the world.

I share your frustration and ironically I have just put up another blog about those elusive theories on cause, which I had finished before I read your comments. We are on the same wave length today! How wonderful you won your disability case. I discuss these disability problems in my book. Unfortunately I am not having a pain free day (do we ever?) but I have had worse. Best wishes.

I have had FM for 15 years, wasn't properly diagnosed until 2003 and had to stop working in October, 2007. Somehow, I managed to win my disability in only 4 months and it begins at the end of May. It baffles me that they can claim that the "jury is still out" when my pain and suffering is very real! I've pretty much dedicated what is left of my life to helping others with the disease, maintaining a website, forum and blog. If I can help just one other person who is suffering from this debilitating disease then I will feel that I have accomplished something with the shell of a life that this disease has left me with! The medical profession as a whole, in my mind, are the ones confused...Is it the hypthalamus? Mitochondrial Dysfunction? Stress Overload? A past virus? Infection? Toxicity? They can't prove any of these so they just say "it's all in our minds"! As for effective treatments...they can't even agree that the disease is real, much less agree on or find a treatment or cure. I apologize, as I didn't intend to rant...it's just been one of those "lives" since I became ill with this disease. Again, I am afraid my reading the article that led me to your blog just set me off! LOL! I appreciate your work and will recommend your site to my visitors as I am trying to offer every useful or helpful resource to them that I can find. It seems that "information" is our greatest weopon against FM. I hope you are blessed with a pain-free day! Sincerely, Tammy Elaine McPherson The Ultimate Fibromyalgia Resource Center
