i found this video very interesting, however most i was already aware of, some info i wasn't eg brain shrinkage this is scary .We do have research going on, St Johns In London are looking into Fibro, I took part in the research program, but yes Britain is way behind in any kind of research , Thanks for posting this video .

The brain shrinkage issue did bother me quite a bit, from having a rather fast mind, I now find mental arithmetic, quite simple stuff, almost impossible to do!

Thanks for the info on St Johns, let's hope they come across some answers soon

Very interesting...so, there is some prospect of hope with the drug Naltrexone, although it's going to be years of waiting for us here in the UK.

I think it shows the complexities going on with Fibro! I am going to mention Milnacipran and Naltroxone to my GP on Friday, it's my way of nudging her to keep informed

I have heard of naltroxone before - think they use it for weaning opiate abuse i.e heroin !

it is used in some UK specialist clinics- MS sufferers trialled it as it has good anti-imflammatory affects, also it was trialled in U.S for Chrons. it is also used in UK for autoimmune diseases. it has lots of gastro side effects thou !!

What a great video. Very informative - it should be compulsory for all GP's and specialists to watch and maybe we will be listened to.

Great video, would be great to show those that think fibro is all in our minds. Like Rosaann, would be great if he was a specialist here in the UK that we could all access. Becky. Xx

I have spammed this video in my facebook groups too It does help to give people an idea who are clueless about fibro

Thank you so much found the video very interesting and encouraging.Have been to my gp yesterday and got two more prescriptions, also was sent for an x ray but have to wait for result.Been for a massage today and was told that my neck pain is due to my spine being out of alignment.This has happened before because we seem to be compensating in Fibromyalgia pain.Dr.also put on x ray form ? O. A.Until I get the answer I have to suffer.So am in awful pain cannot do anything today but am up washed and dressed which is something.Gentle hugs to all out there suffering xx

I think most of us know the effort it takes to get up and dressed,Well done on that Petra ..maybe OA means osteo arthritIs? Some times I find the pain all blurs and i don't know which is fibro, or arthritis or rheumatism!I hope your pain eases soon x

A very interesting video..I'm thinking of making a copy and sending one to my doctor and one to my Job Center....perhaps they both could learn something ..I know I found it very helpful..serously been thinking of trying the Cough medicine treatment...(Guaifenesin) ....cheap.easily accesable...any one else tried it....?

Kazzyj in reply to rosaann52
